We're talking about it now so you'll have time to forget we talked about it: today we're quickly going over the contents of the LEGO Minecraft 21280 Advent Calendar 2025 set , a 300-piece box that has been available since September 1, 2025 on the official online store at the public price of €34,99 and elsewhere for a little less.
The LEGO Advent calendar landscape is changing a bit this year with the arrival of a Minecraft version that's replacing the Marvel version. Why not? The Marvel version was going around in circles anyway, and the Minecraft universe at least has the potential to provide us with micro-thingies to build that, even if they aren't wildly creative, are at least in keeping with the license being used.
This calendar is also the one with the largest inventory this year with 300 pieces, while the Star Wars version has 263 pieces, the Harry Potter version has 278 pieces, the Friends version has 237 pieces, the Disney version has 231 pieces and the CITY version brings up the rear with 186 pieces.
As with this year's Harry Potter edition, this calendar allows you to get a nice handful of figurines, including Alex, Steve, a Creeper, a drowned man, a vagrant, a Snow Golem, a zombie, and a Santa villager. That's already pretty good; at least we're guaranteed to have eight satisfying panels.
The festive version of Steve, with his torso flanked by a Snow Golem, is particularly noteworthy; I think this figure alone will be enough to delight collectors. It's also worth noting that the vagabond included here is currently only available in this form in set 21277 The Pickaxe Mine (€54,99).
A few animals are also included in the three-box program, with a cat, a polar bear, and two sheep coming in the same box. Two boxes yield a micro Warden and a micro Iron Golem.
The rest of the calendar is made up of various furniture and accessories, with each figurine having at least one weapon or accessory. The festive feel of the calendar is ensured by the presence of the villager in Santa Claus outfit, the Snow Golem in the decorated tree and a gift provided in Alex's box. I repeat for those who might be wondering, there are no stickers in these calendars, all the patterned elements are therefore pad printed.
I could complain about the presence of a lot of seemingly uninteresting mini-things to build here, but this Minecraft-licensed product apologizes for providing us with these simplistic constructions because it's right on topic.
Spending €34,99 for this is not an exaggeration, but this product will soon be available for less than its retail price, and it could then please a young fan who never tires of accumulating variants of the game's iconic characters, animals, and various accessories.
This first LEGO Advent calendar based on the Minecraft universe should therefore not disappoint young fans; inside there is plenty to have a little fun with, expanding existing dioramas and adding a few festive versions to your figurine collection, which are always a good idea.
