The latest batch of Lego advent calendars for Star Wars, Marvel, and Harry Potter have been unveiled, and they feature a surprisingly festive new look for the Guardians of the Galaxy seemingly based on the Holiday Special.
The new sets are available to order now via Lego's official website, and you're looking at a price tag of $44.99 / £29.99 for the Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Marvel 2022 Lego advent calendars. These sport completely revamped themes with a fresh batch of designs, sometimes featuring characters we haven't seen in previous sets. As an example, the Marvel offering pivots from last year's Avengers kit to the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special with classic ugly sweaters on the likes of Drax (which hopefully go easy on his famously sensitive nipples) and Groot taking on the role of the crew's Christmas tree. There's no guarantee this is exactly what will happen in the upcoming short, but it'd be pretty fun if that ended up being the case.
Although it might seem as if the company is getting ahead of itself with these Lego advent calendars, the sets have been known to sell out well before December itself (we have absolutely been burned by this before). While some offers will likely be available as we move toward the likes of Black Friday - which is usually a good opportunity to save on the best Lego sets - that's far from a guarantee and these offers always get snapped up quickly.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2022 Lego advent calendars.
