When I received the advent calendar, I already knew it was going to have missing pieces. The tape on the box had clearly been removed and replaced. It was for a kid so we kept it and have been going through each day, but by day 14 there are already bags of pieces that have been changed out. For one of the mini builds, the bag was a duplicate of the minibuild right above it in the box. We want to keep going day by day to preserve the fun, but I'm definitely expecting more missing/wrong pieces.

The product was not identified as used, opened, damaged, anything. It very clearly had been altered. Super dishonest.

Both this for my husband and I. We generally get either Santa or Star Wars ones. My box was sealed. We opened the first few days and then tried to build them and none of the bags matched the pictures. Turned out the inner box was put in turned around. Opened the instructions in the Lego app to build them. My husband gave up on his as the instructions were too obscure for him to figure out (he is an intermediate builder). I pity anyone who bought this calendar for 8-12 year old kids. Especially for the days we’re there is no picture of the finished model on the box. First time we have ever been disappointed with a Lego product.

I purchased this for my son as I do every year. He and I really enjoy them. We had a lot go on over the holidays and the calendar got forgotten about. My son recently rediscovered it and completed it. Unfortunately when he got to the 24th day he opened a second tie fighter instead of the holiday r2-d2. We are big fans of the calendars and will continue to buy them, but if there is anything you can do about the missing holiday r2-d2 we would appreciate it.

Suitability:Perfect
Performance:Perfect
Quality:Perfect, real lego

It's real lego as indicated by the lego logos on the parts. Small and perfect. Might buy here again once there are newer advent calendars.
