Today, the penultimate door before this calendar is depleted of gifts, the gods of Advent have bestowed upon us this outdoor fireplace!
Fitting, because we got an indoor fireplace in the last Minions calendar two days in. And now we have one for outdoors two days before Christmas! Covering all bases here!
Unlike said fireplace, which was a massive build of bricks, this is simply a flame on top of some brown bricks that hold together some snow bricks. It's as bare minimum as you can get for a fireplace. ...Though I do like that they added the white bricks. Like the Monster High advent calendar, it gives a bit of decor and lets us know what it's meant for. ...Also, that the fire is clearly fake, since there's still snow underneath...
We also get the return of the Mega Construx flame piece, which always looks more "realistic" than Lego's attempts. I like it when pieces like this are given this much detail, as it opens the doors to so many ways I can use it! ...Like burning a brick person's house down! Mwahahahahaha! ...Sorry.
Like so many models in this calendar, this is ok. It's just a basic fireplace made with 6 pieces, which is technically larger than most other models we've seen. Still, the fire piece makes up for the bland rest of the model.
It's the perfect model for a Minion to just kick back and watch in his chair, while sipping at his cocoa and listening to Mariah Carey on his phonograph. ...And if this isn't the most festive picture you've seen this season, Bah Humbug!
We've seen 23 presents from this calendar! They've ranged from the bad to the... serviceable. But tomorrow, it's time to open the final door! Christmas is upon us, and the advent calendar must come to an end in anticipation of what we'll get on that glorious day! What will the final model be? What will top everything off, and be the ultimate gift we've been waiting over 3 weeks for? ...Well, if you've been following along, you know exactly what it'll be. Still, let's open 'er up and stamp this calendar COMPLETE! See you tomorrow for the final door and analysis!
