Same here...actually my 7 year-old pointed this out to me. At first I
thought they were just similar, but upon further inspection, we did find
that many of the toys (so far anyway) are the same. I too think LEGO could
be a little more creative. Maybe they don't expect the same people to
purchase the advent set year after year. It has become a tradition in our
home and I hope they do a better job with next year's set. I considered
reviewing this set for BimP, but right now the review would not be a good one.
