Eight minifigs in a $30 City Advent Calendar is a deal that's hard to argue with — this one keeps giving all December long.
Is the price fair?A+Eight minifigs and 24 builds for thirty bucks — City Advent sets rarely miss on price, and this one doesn't.
Will you love it?BDaily ritual, solid City characters, holiday fun — hard not to enjoy the whole run.
Holds its value?C-City Advent Calendars depreciate fast and sit forgotten in the secondary market — this one is no exception.
The Full Take
The 2019 City Advent Calendar stacks up well against its siblings: eight minifigs, a clean City theme, and a $30 price tag that makes it one of the easiest impulse buys in the lineup. Each window delivers something small but purposeful — a police scene here, a holiday vignette there — and the daily ritual is genuinely the whole point. The minifig haul alone justifies the purchase for most buyers, since City characters mix into existing layouts without a second thought. Builds are bite-sized by design, so don't expect anything jaw-dropping, but the variety keeps the 24-day run from feeling repetitive. If you catch it on sale, the value proposition gets almost absurd. The one honest caveat: the secondary market on City Advent Calendars is historically flat, so buy it for December, not for the long shelf.
