Lego’s 2021 advent calendars are available to buy now: Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter and more
After a whirlwind summer, we’re already thinking ahead to December, and more specifically, Christmas. While it may feel a few months off, it’ll be here before you know it and what better way to kick off the festive countdown than with an advent calendar.
There’s plenty of choices out there too. Whether you want a mammoth beauty one full of skincare and make-up, a foodie feast from Fortnum and Mason or a classic paper one with pop-out doors, there’s sure to be something for everyone.
Getting in on the action this year is Lego. The toy giant has unveiled its collection, five in total, of advent calendars for mini-figure fans.
The collection includes beloved franchises like Marvel’s The Avengers, Star Wars and Harry Potter, as well as two of the brand’s own creations. We’ve got all the details you need in our roundup below.
However, there is an important downside we must raise. In the UK, customers are limited to purchasing two of each calendar – this is to ensure fairness so that all Lego fans can get their hands on one this festive season.
