Eight Marvel minifigs in one advent calendar at $39.99 is a deal that's hard to argue with — the price grade alone tells you LEGO® wasn't playing games in 2021.
Is the price fair?A+Eight minifigs at $39.99 — LEGO® priced this like they actually wanted it on wishlists.
Will you love it?B-Charming if you're a Marvel house, a bit hollow if you're not.
Holds its value?C-The secondary market has been quiet and the trend isn't turning around.
The Full Take
Eight minifigs for $39.99 is the headline here, and it's a good one. The 2021 Avengers Advent Calendar stacks Marvel characters in a way that makes the daily reveal feel earned rather than padded with tiny builds nobody wanted. The micro-vehicles and scene pieces are hit-or-miss, but the minifig density carries the whole experience. As a Christmas countdown for a Marvel household, the daily ritual lands — kids get a new character almost every other day. The B+ overall is fair: this is a themed advent calendar doing exactly what it should, just without any single showstopper moment. Where it stumbles is the secondary market, which has been cold — don't buy extras expecting a windfall. Buy the one, open it, enjoy it.
