LOTS of parts to decorate your tree with a friend
" Wow! 24 different mini-models here! Some are really cute. There's even a tiny tic-tac-toe game and a signature model for each Friends character (see guitar, roller skate, trophy, camera, and microscope!).
Looking at other reviews here, I didn't see it mentioned that this year's Friends Advent Calendar has more than DOUBLE the usual piece count (500 vs. 215 or so). I imagine this is because minidolls are one of the most expensive parts that LEGO makes, and they aren't included this time. Personally, I have no problem with that. This is a different play experience than in the past. Instead of building a tiny scene with the Friends characters, children are encouraged to build life-sized ornaments to decorate their tree, or other space.
I imagine this "shared crafting experience" (similar to the 41346 Friendship Box) may encourage kids to pull out their spare bricks and try making more decorations of their own designs! I appreciate that the wide variety of colorful parts included are generic enough to be re-used throughout the year — add them to your other sets or build more original creations!
