(...) Ya! I think the current design thinking may need to be turned around/inside out a bit... several offerings of late feature weird agglomerated models (think about the McDonalds promo packs of a few years back)... individual models are cool, but (...)

(...) Now THAT is a great idea! I hadn't thought of it beyond 24 individual models, but a cumulative method has tremendous potential. They could, in fact, model a small town (and maybe include a baseplate shrinkwrapped to the back of the calendar). (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Then perhaps it's time to change the design of the calendar. What about one small model on the first day (sticking with today's type of designs) but then the pieces on the 2nd day are additional elements that are specific to day 1, making a (...)

I had a thought today on my drive home: While I agree that it is dissappointing that Lego made the two calendars identical, I wonder just how many possible, reasonably recognizable models can be built with fewer tan 12 pieces? I suppose this would (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Did the advent calendars come with building instructions for the individual models? We dragged out ours from 1999 for our son (now 3). I can't find any instructions for it though, but I'm not entirely sure there ever were any. We kept all the (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
