Six minifigs in a $30 advent calendar is a City miracle — this one punches well above its weight for the holidays.
Is the price fair?A+Six figs and 342 pieces at $30 — the price grade is A+ for a reason.
Will you love it?B-Spread across 24 doors, the payoff is daily rather than all at once — works if you lean into the format.
Holds its value?C-Advent calendars collect dust on the secondary market; this one is no exception.
The Full Take
City advent calendars live or die by what shows up behind those little doors, and the 2020 edition stacks the odds in your favor: six minifigs for $30 is a haul by any measure. The seasonal builds lean festive without going overboard — little vehicles, holiday scenes, the kind of stuff that actually scans as City without feeling like filler. It's not a single showpiece set, so the build experience is spread across 24 micro-moments rather than one satisfying arc. But as a daily ritual through December, that structure is the point. The price grade is near-perfect — at $29.99 this is one of the stronger City advent values in recent years. The one honest caveat: once it retires, it sits. Don't go in expecting the secondary market to reward patience. Go in expecting a fun December.
