Review on LEGO Calendar Awesome Building Characters by Justin Cranford

I've been buying these for a number of years now and have recently noticed a downward trend in what you're getting. Initially they contained some really unique and special characters and builds, but this year they seem to be very lazy and redesigned. There's never been an abundance of figures, but Lego makes up for that with truly unique or coveted minifigures. I suppose Grogu is supposed to be great, but it's just a cheap rewrite of what's already there, and quite frankly it's just laziness. The instructions for the mini builds are also still problematic and I wish they could somehow put them in the Lego app for a better understanding of how to build them. It's also a pity that there were no minifigures in the first few days! I remember the previous minifigures had either day 1 or 2 but not this one and it was an extreme disappointment for my child and to be honest I was surprised too. The Razors Crest mini build isn't the same as a minifigure to start your set with a bang! I'm hoping for a better performance next year, but to be honest Lego seems to have been spending less and less time on it over the past few years. That might be good for a collector/picker, but for a child it's a disappointment.
