Hello hello and welcome back to Worth in Progress! We're opening the doors of our special Advent Calendar 2023 again. After all, Christmas is coming, and you should prepare yourself.
The door of December 20th reveals...
Lego set recommendations!
What did you expect - that I wouldn't mention Legos at all this month? Nonsense. Of course I will. Here are my three favorite Lego sets, chosen from ones I've bought and assembled. (Ones I want but haven't bought yet are excluded from this list.)
- The Hogwarts set (the biggest one they have). If you're a Lego-collecting Potterhead, this set is an absolute must. It has an infinite-seeming number of little references to the movies, including one weird room that took me ages to figure out (until I realized it was the Room of Requirement!).
- The Home Alone set. Not only is it a Christmas set, but it's also super fun with moving parts and all. Remember to set everyone's faces the funny side forward!
- The Boutique Hotel set. It's a modular building, so you can easily add it along your Lego street; it has so many rooms, including an art gallery and an outdoor bar; and you can have your dazed werewolf Remus Lupin step straight into the open skylight window. (That's what I did, anyway.)
Those were the three best, but here's a bonus one:
- The Police Station set. Another modular building to fill up your Lego street! There's also something suspicious going on in the basement. And I LOVE the backstory they give in the instructions leaflet!
Get any of the above, and fun is guaranteed for hours and hours to come!
