We’ve reached the end of the Lego Advent Calendar. Overall, I was unimpressed with this year’s offerings, but it was still a fun 24-day event. And this means things can only get better for next year.

Today’s item is Santa Claus. Of course it’s Santa Claus. And he comes with a fun accessory.

Click on to see the grand finale and read my list of the best Lego Calendar items.

It’s Santa with a fireplace and a bag of toys.

That’s nice.

Last year’s calendar came with two Santas (one naked, one clothed) so I don’t really need another Santa. I was hoping for a Mrs. Claus (clothed, of course…perverts).

The town of Barbaria is excited by Santa’s arrival as it marks the beginning of the annual Winter Ball.

Since there are no women in the town, the Ball is a bit awkward. Lots of standing around. (And just between you and me, Rex has been drinking more than punch. Just look at that face.)

Now I have three Lego Santas on my desks, each with a different pair of pants.

I also have two Playmobile Santas.

My desk is so lucky.

Day 24 Rating: 3.5 out of 4 (Points deducted because nothing in this year’s calendar deserved a 4.)

Anyway, on to this year’s countdown of presents. In order from most awful to most best, here there are:

24. Prison Cot/Dumb Desk – This isn’t a toy. This isn’t fun. It feels more like math than fun. Booo!

23. Prison Wall #4 – No one opening this calendar looked at the item and said, “Yes!!!”

22. Cop Car Piece #3 – All of these pieces should have been included in the same day. It’s crap like this that makes me consider not buying the calendar next year. (But I’ll totally buy the calendar next year, anyway.)

21. Presents and Skateboard – No thank you.

20. Prison Wall #2 – It’s slightly better than the last wall because it has the word “Police” on it.

19. Cop Car Piece #2 – Don’t waste my time, Lego.

18. Police Chief Pops – I just don’t like his attitude. We never got along. It’s a communication problem, I know. But he could at least make the effort to get to know me.

17. Christmas Tree – It was smaller than last year’s. Also, no star. Also, it’s small. Also, it’s not as good. Also, I wanted an alien.

16. White Snowmobile – It’s not bad, but there’s no need for two of them.

15. Prison Wall #1 – I like the prison bars, but…I don’t know. Eh…

14. Boxy Thing – Can’t typpe correectly ttoo busy yAwning

13. Fire and Fish – Give a man a fish, and he’ll be pissed that it’s not two fish and a Lego alien.

12. Rex Sex – The crowbars are nice. He’s not a horrible figure. But I was really hoping to be surprised this year and instead I could have predicted what every item was going to be…almost.

11. Prison Wall #3 – It’s a teleporter, but only if I use my imagination.

10. Steph the Dog – Made better thanks to the jetpack.

9. The Safe – Now we get into the “good” items. Love the gold!

8. Cop Car Piece #1 – It was fine without the top and windshield.

7. Orange Snowmobile – Orange is good.

6. The Walrus – He’s just trying to feed his family! The first item is still one of the best.

5. Santa – Had he been the only Santa I own and had he been wearing a thong, this would be number 1.

4. Officer Champ Gutpunch – He’s a good guy. He has handcuffs.

3. Snowball Launcher – It’s a weapon and it works.

2. Crime Lab – This was a tough call. The magnifying glass almost made this item number one on the list. But there was something better…

1. Winter Wraith – I don’t always agree with his methods, but one cannot question his results.

That’ll do it for this year’s Lego Advent Calendar. Thank you for following along.

Now I have to prepare for the parties and the fun and the food. And the next two weeks are going to be 300% crazy.

Without getting into specifics, there are big changes happening in the world of Dan Bergstein Industries. Big changes.

Happy Holidays!!!!

You are my life now.
