Lego and Playmobil Advent Calendars

Every year now we get our kids Lego Advent Calendar. Getting to open a door each night really builds their anticipation of Christmas, while adding some interesting pieces and mini models to their Lego collection. We've gotten away with just sharing one between them, but this year I think we're going to have to spring for one for each kid.

Playmobil also has some similar advent calendars with different themes: Christmas in the Forest, Unicorn Paradise, Pirates, and Knights Duel.

Indiana Jones Lego Sets

This is cool. Lego has released the first four Indiana Jones Lego sets. I hope Lego takes this as far as they did with Star Wars. These seem to be selling out everywhere.

Temple Escape is the big kit that reproduces the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, complete with the huge rolling boulder and seaplane.

Lost Tomb contains the Egyptian tomb from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes, the one with all the snakes.

Race for the Stolen Treasure is the truck chase scene from Raiders. Or it could just be a generic treasure chase scene.

Motorcycle Chase is the odd set in that it's from The Last Crusade. A Sean Connery minifig?
