When you think about it the minikit should have always won gift of the day because it’s the most accurate Lego build we’ve ever seen, so a much deserved first place and happy to see Star Wars start to climb to the top
@ you always find great ways of giving bonus points at the end! Maybe you can add a category for should’ve scored higher, or would’ve scored higher on a different day
Jeremy, I really appreciate your new format of not repeating the set numbers at the start of every video. It is much more interesting how you just do a quick recap and then get straight in to it. I always enjoy your Advent Calendar series every year but wish you would do some more reviews throughout the year.
@@smb-c3po I've got to check as I've not been called a "daddy" since my kids grew up. Is this what you mean? "The term ‘daddy’ has taken on a whole new meaning in recent years, evolving beyond just a father figure to something entirely different. In today’s slang, ‘daddy’ is often used to describe an attractive and confident older man who exudes a sense of power and authority."
That cat was no Diabeto. 😂😂😂 Free Diabeto from the heartlake city mafia’s basement! You were very generous today with Spiderman. 😬 Moana’s boat was better than Spiderdude and HP’s house confused statue.
(sorry, second comment) when I opened my Star wars advent calendar today, I was dreading the worst, but was given life when you perfectly recognized it. I honestly think that the minikit should have been saved for gift 24. It's going to make a LOT of fans happy
I love Spider-Man, my favourite superhero and was so excited for the calendar. It has been pretty poor so far, more a New York Calendar than a Spider-Man one. Hugely missed opportunity they could have done so much more with the same amount of Lego bricks
Ahh, the good ol' minikit from the Lego Star Wars games! After it was revealed, I had absolute confidence that it would win the gift of the day. Also, I really love the jokes you keep on making about Lego *Fiends*. It makes me want to be crazy enough to go back and save every video mentioning the Heartlake City Mafia into one giant playlist.
Although today’s gifts may not be top tier in terms of builds, you have to appreciate some of the elements and part usage that each of the builds had to offer today. Glad to see Star Wars coming on top today with the mini kit!
The HP statues are definitely the house animals with wings, exactly like the ones in the Great Hall in the movies. So this one was a snake with wings, and the first statue was a lion with wings. And I realize that this was probably just a joke. I’m saying it anyways in case it wasn’t.
@ Alright. I remember minor details like that because I’ve made model kits of a few locations, including the Great Hall. I’m just a little obsessed with HP.
Mona's canoe is sweet. I like a girl with a boat. Door 7 for City had me thinking Cat with a dust buster that looks like a fish. I'm reaching. If they can get the tiny shells on Ariel, they could spray paint a cardy on a kitty. The fish is meh but, oh well. Mini kit took me out of this world, Star Wars, thank you! Oh look! Another corner from NY. This time a fire hydrant. Gee, just what a spider needs and reaching with the red and green elements. Was City's gift worse than your dwarf stab? Nope. The fiends have a desk! The pen spoke curling iron to me at first..actually it still does. Come on Potter...I'm cheering and then I looked up and deflated. Griffin? Hypogriff sounds great but either way, why would it go on top of the Slytherin house pedistool? Hopefully more of this shall be revealed in days to come. I paused the replay of the video and set a little prayer for you Jeremy before the judging. Mona's boat does look cute with her on it. The nostalgic move by Star Wars is brilliant! Well played by the light side of the Force.
Sadly I think that the HP calendar should have been last the time. At least the cat should have rated more points. Anyway. Loved the video and I am looking forward to you next video. Have a great Friday and good weekend. Even though you have to work.
Thank you Jeremy, this series is the best, I look forward to every episode and it’s always a highlight of my holiday season! Today’s Star Wars gift was particularly special, my favourite build for years and I was really hoping you’d recognise it! Keep it up, your videos have become an important Christmas tradition 😊
I remember back in the day I used to play lego star wars the complete saga all the time. I may not have grided for many minikits, but I sure do recognize them.
Glad HP is remaining first though I don't quite think that statue deserved it's place. I'm kinda thinking it's a snake but maybe only because I expect one from slitherin? Sure, the City gift was lazy but I would have putten it over the statue just for having an animal piece. Though I gotta admit the competition wasn't too strong today where a generic traffic lamp could become second 😅 I was kinda expecting a deduction of 1 point from each calendar for not having anything festive (like you did once last year), but I guess the leaf that could be interpreted as a holly is worthy of that bonus point! Looking forward to see what's behind tomorrow's doors!
The boat should have defiantly beaten out the statue from HP, it is a much more interesting item than a very similar house statue you will get 4 variants in.
Oh man, one of those days where I really wish it was within the rules to give them all 1 point. Awful selection today! 6 points - Disney. Confused as to why we have a few days gap between Moana gifts, but it's a nice recognisable build at least. Extremely lucky to be getting 6 points! 5 points - Marvel. Boring as heck, but at least it does what it's meant to well, and should help with the overall scene at the end of advent. 4 points - City. I like the kitten, it's not all that common, having appeared in 6 other sets (including last years City calendar, it must be said). The fish actually spoils it for me. 3 points - Friends. I don't mind the desk, it looks reasonably pretty enough, but there's really nothing to it. 2 points - Star Wars. Sorry, Star Wars fans, I don't have that same nostalgia! I've never played the game, and so had absolutely no idea what it was. 1 point - Harry Potter. Well, the good news I guess is that we know there's only two more of these things to go?! Festive Bonus Point - Marvel. On the basis that the white plate makes it look like the street has snow on it. Yeah, a very, very weak choice today! Scores - City 33, Disney 28, Friends 25, Star Wars 23, Harry Potter 23, Marvel 22.
Maybe someday I'll be able to get the Spider-Man advent calendar and I predict the possibility of a DC Comics one being added next year, but they'd better not have a Fortnite one 'cause we don't need Ashnflash being creepy about it like he is with everything else relating to the game and he has a serious problem. Let's see how long it takes Ashens to upload part 7 of his 2024 advent calendar series today, he and NerdCubed really would make a cute couple. Maybe someday one if my comments will finally show up in a video, but highly doubtful.
Oh it was a minikit? I haven't played a LEGO Star Wars game for a long time so I am not familiar with them... I thought "What is this - I bet it only gets 1 point...." - I thought it was a refueling rig for the X-Wing or Y-Wing!
Wow, today's calendar day was a dud all around! Not one mini figure, festive animal, or seemingly useful build... except that kit you were raving about. Though my vote for the most festive, if that could even be awarded today, would have been towards the Friends set because a desk with a list with check marks on it really does feel in tune with the holiday season, dontcha think?
Opening the Star Wars AC, my first thought was "What is that?". Then, there was the feeling of dread that if you do not recognize the build, it is never a good sign. I honestly wondered if it was some droid in the background of a Hoth scene that appears onscreen for about a second. I had to come here to see what it really is, and can agree it makes sense as a build. There will naturally be some of us who were in our Dark Ages when the game was out. The other builds were really uninspiring. My son was quite disappointed with the City AC. It was neither a minifig nor a build and that is never a good thing.
The minikit was very festive with the red and green lights. Happy the Moana kit got an extra point though, I would have put it higher. Nothing says Christmas like a New York City street corner and fire hydrant - good spare parts and city building, I suppose. Overall very lackluster day. Does that mean tomorrow will swing the opposite way and you'll have a tough decision for top?
Lego Headquarters Let’s make house statues. Nope they just don’t work. Let’s just put them in anyway. As an avid HP purchaser (thanks for that Jeremy - your reviews over the last 5 years made me want to buy everrrything) even though the theme has improved greatly, sadly some things are just awful. We’ve just had buckbeak, a very average advent (except for great day minifigs lol), and now they’ve ruined hagrids motorcycle. Doh!
the fall off of Lego City needs to be studied Plus I spoiled myself and saw some upcoming gifts, and let's just say City is in for a lot of trouble..... 😬
My rankings for today: 1. Disney 2. Star Wars 3. Friends 4. Spiderman 5. City 6. Harry Potter The statue really does deserve last place if no one can figure out what it is a statue of.
Watching Jeremy's calendar unboxings has been a tradition I have partaken for 4 years now (WOW)! Quite a lot of fun! :D I really liked the gifts from LEGO Friends today! They are the gift of the day for me! :) The Princess/Disney calendar is fun, diverse & colorful. I am enjoying their efforts thus far. I agree LEGO City dropped the ball today. Cute kitty, but low effort. That Slytherin statue looked more like an eagle from Ravenclaw. I do not like the statues so far. The Gryffindor lion was pure abstract nonsense. I am not a fan of Star Wars, never been impressed by their gifts. I gave up on Spider-Man's calendar already. Mediocre, overpriced, lazy & terrible seven days in.
@@albundy9918 I think it could have gone either way, because in the same way snow isn't necessarily festive, a red flower with green leaves isn't necessarily holly and festive either. If jeremy had picked up on the snow on the ground, he could have chosen that
@@albundy9918 true. I think the difference between them is that snow is a weak connotation of festive but nearly always connotes it, whereas the floral detail could be a strong connotation or not a connotation at all
jeremy me and my family love watching your vidios its almost become a tradition its great but todays cores for harry potter was low it should have switched with star wars
I think it is the Ravenclaw statue. But this far, he has the Slytherin tile and base and not the Ravenclaw one, so Jeremy put the statue atop the Slytherin base.
jeremy me and my family love watching your vidios its almost become a tradition its great but todays cores for harry potter was low it should have switched with star wars
The minikit canister will always bring back memories from when I was older Lego Star Wars games…
Or any other Lego game lol
When you think about it the minikit should have always won gift of the day because it’s the most accurate Lego build we’ve ever seen, so a much deserved first place and happy to see Star Wars start to climb to the top
Totally agree. May be not one for the younger viewers but definitely an AFOL fave!
Nostalgia is a great move by Star Wars!
Now you just need 9 more minikits to unlock the secret mini build!
Or 4 depending on the game
Which secret mini build would that be?
@@smb-c3po The ARC-170 starfighter that was meant to represent 2005 for day 7
I really liked the Moana boat!! I think that should’ve been higher 😊 def more than the statue (and I’m a Harry Potter fan)
I thought that when I watched the final edit back. I regret not giving it more points.

Awesome gift. Such a huge part of LEGO Star Wars history. They should make a UCS version.
I feel scammed by the Spiderman calendar
I love Spider-Man, my favourite superhero and was so excited for the calendar. It has been pretty poor so far, more a New York Calendar than a Spider-Man one. Hugely missed opportunity they could have done so much more with the same amount of Lego bricks
Dude, you forgot the hyphen between Spider and Man!
@@capwhittaker Officially it's actually spelled Spider-Man.
@@smb-c3po I hope your joking
@SuperbGorilla you're*
That's actually the official spelling.
Ahh, the good ol' minikit from the Lego Star Wars games! After it was revealed, I had absolute confidence that it would win the gift of the day.
Also, I really love the jokes you keep on making about Lego *Fiends*. It makes me want to be crazy enough to go back and save every video mentioning the Heartlake City Mafia into one giant playlist.
Now there's an idea! I feel like it's only going to get darker this year.
This is the first time I've been genuinely jealous of the star wars calender. That mini kit is so cool!!
Joke of the day goes to Spider-Man, “…every dogs dream … not happy” OMG, really funny Jeremy 😄🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️
Although today’s gifts may not be top tier in terms of builds, you have to appreciate some of the elements and part usage that each of the builds had to offer today. Glad to see Star Wars coming on top today with the mini kit!
I think the list on the writing table is meant to be a list to Santa, which is actually quite unique.
Yeah, pretty sure it's for sending death threats to Santa, (which is festive).
Yeah it's the Santa letter
I loved the kitten and the bowl in that colour is quite uncommon 💕
The HP statues are definitely the house animals with wings, exactly like the ones in the Great Hall in the movies. So this one was a snake with wings, and the first statue was a lion with wings.

I have to go back and look more closely.
@ Alright. I remember minor details like that because I’ve made model kits of a few locations, including the Great Hall. I’m just a little obsessed with HP.
Moana losing to a blob of gray nearly killed me, Jeremy! The HP bias strikes again!
In hindsight, Moana deserved better.

You can indeed get jumpers/sweaters/pullovers onto a cat but it depends on the cats personality 😂 ps: mini kit deserved it🎉
Honestly, the only reason I got the Star Wars advent calendar was for the minikit. I put so many hours into the LEGO Star Wars games.
The mini kit is sooooo nostalgic
It would be interesting to see your view of all the advent calendar toys put together on the 24th. Perhaps a bonus category for combined legos
Popular suggestion. It's on the list for consideration.
I really liked the Moana boat!! I think that should’ve been higher 😊
I judged that unfairly. In hindsight, it deserved a higher place.
I was really worried you wouldn’t get the mini kit, but I’m glad you’re a complete saga fan as well!
Sadly I think that the HP calendar should have been last the time. At least the cat should have rated more points. Anyway. Loved the video and I am looking forward to you next video. Have a great Friday and good weekend. Even though you have to work.

Mini kit gave me total flashbacks
Thought went into that calendar
idk ik this a hot take but i lowkey love the spidey one
The minikit is great! Makes me wish TT was still making Lego games. We used to get 2 or 3 a year.
Lego need a ‘best sets’ calendar
I remember back in the day I used to play lego star wars the complete saga all the time. I may not have grided for many minikits, but I sure do recognize them.
I think the scores are perfect. Minikit deserves the top score today.
Wow what a day all round it's not often at all every calendar has a horrible day collective
Glad HP is remaining first though I don't quite think that statue deserved it's place. I'm kinda thinking it's a snake but maybe only because I expect one from slitherin?

I've been wanting a real mini kit for decades now.
I've kinda lost interest in star wars lately but that minikit is definitely pulling on my nostalgia
The boat should have defiantly beaten out the statue from HP, it is a much more interesting item than a very similar house statue you will get 4 variants in.
Loving the advent calendar videos Jeremy. 7 day though has to be probably the worst set of gifts ever! What a load of guff!
Happy weekend!
You know it’s a good day when Jeremy references Wicked
Oh man, one of those days where I really wish it was within the rules to give them all 1 point. Awful selection today!
6 points - Disney. Confused as to why we have a few days gap between Moana gifts, but it's a nice recognisable build at least. Extremely lucky to be getting 6 points!

I honestly liking the spiderman one so far. I love the little bits of nyc
The Lego Star Wars todays gift is my favourite so far
Same huge smile on my face building it
I think the star wars minikit should get an extra point for it’s importants in lego video games and star wars history
@albundy9918 so basically what you're saying is "I don't know what it is therefore it is bad"
Great video as always 😊
The transitions in the beginning are chef’s kiss.

The HP one is probably based on the lamps in the Great hall, where the house mascots have wings...but then the Gryffindor one didn't have wings XD

Let’s make house statues.
Nope they just don’t work.

Look on the bright side Jeremy, the HP statues may not be great but they’re still better than the 4 HP house flags you got in 2019.
Very well said. I still have night terrors about the flags.
Hello. All the lamps of the Great Hall have wings.
I love these
the fall off of Lego City needs to be studied
Plus I spoiled myself and saw some upcoming gifts, and let's just say City is in for a lot of trouble.....

The minikit was white like snow. I think Star Wars should have gotten the festive gift.
I think the Harry Potter one is a mix up because on the packaging, the same plinth represents ravenclaw.
My rankings for today:
1. Disney
2. Star Wars
3. Friends
4. Spiderman
5. City
6. Harry Potter

2005: LEGO Star Wars The Video Game that is today's star wars gift
I think it ment to be a snake 🐍
Am I really gonna buy this calendar for a minikit alone?
You could just bricklink the parts
I think I've figured Star Wars out. Either they're first, or bottom 2. No in between
I dearly hope the Slitheran statue isn't supposed to be a snake. What was Lego thinking?!
I think it is the Ravenclaw statue. But this far, he has the Slytherin tile and base and not the Ravenclaw one, so Jeremy put the statue atop the Slytherin base.
@rethaf4387 It does come with a green base plate... on the box you can see the Ravenclaw one also.
Dont you want to get the older advent camendar, and review them (that were releases before 2017)
Potter's gift wasn't that bad
7:54 Jesus Jeremy was not expecting that, I hope mrs H does not watch these videos
Jeremy which one is your favorite advent calendar?🙂
I promise this will not affect my judging, but I am totally a Harry Potter fan boy.
Same!
Lego city didn't even have the decency to give the kitty a little missle toe on the head like how churro the cat had last year. Pathetic!

the statue was easily the worst gift
But it floats…? 2:31
