LEGO's 2021 Advent Calendars Include Grogu in a Holiday Sweater and an Infinity Stone Christmas Tree
By Simon Hung
August 10, 2021Believe it or not, there are only four months left in 2021, which means the holidays are fast-approaching and you can expect holiday-related merchandise creeping into stores very soon.
The same is true for LEGO, as the company has officially unveiled their 2021 lineup of LEGO Advent Calendars, all scheduled for release on September 1 and priced at $39.99-$49.99 in Canada.
There are five advent calendars included in this year's lineup, including fan-favourites like the LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Star Wars sets, along with a brand new calendar themed around The Avengers. All five advent calendars come with 24 individually-sealed gifts including limited-edition LEGO minifigures and festive miniature builds.
Historically, LEGO Advent Calendars are fast-sellers given their limited lifespan and tend to sell out extremely quickly at Canadian retailers. The LEGO Star Wars set is typically the most sought-after each year given its name recognition, but we suspect this year's LEGO Marvel The Avengers set will also be highly-coveted leading into the holidays – here are all five 2021 LEGO Advent Calendars and a few details about each one.
LEGO Star Wars 2021 Advent Calendar – $49.99
The LEGO Star Wars 2021 Advent Calendar (75307) is based on the second season of the hit Disney+ series The Mandalorian, with a total of 335 pieces and seven minifigures – The Mandalorian, Grogu (also known as The Child, more affectionately known as Baby Yoda) wearing a holiday sweater, IG-11, IT-O Interrogator Droid, Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper and Tusken Raider. 11 miniature builds are also included with the set, with recognizable ships like The Razor Crest, X-Wing Fighter, TIE Fighter, Imperial Light Cruiser, Boba Fett's Starship (also known as Slave I) and Grogu's hoverpram.
LEGO Marvel The Avengers 2021 Advent Calendar – $49.99
The LEGO Marvel The Avengers 2021 Advent Calendar (76196) is the newest set to the LEGO Advent Calendar family, inspired by movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
