In addition to building and collecting Lego toys, LEGO lovers often have a great interest in other LEGO peripheral products. Play Lego games, watch Lego animated movies, buy LEGO books and LEGO-themed clothing, shoes and bags, and more. So today we will not introduce the building block products, but to introduce a very popular LEGO peripheral product for friends, authorized by Lego and published by the National Development Children's Media 2022 LEGO calendar.
This calendar is quite difficult to get in the hand, and before I unpack it, I already love it. Without further ado, let's open it and see what's so fascinating about the perimeter of this explosion. This calendar box is very sturdy, 27 cm long, 12 cm wide and 7 cm thick. The outer box color is yellow and white, the front is a LEGO figure wireframe graphic, the back is printed with product information and quality certification and the public number of the National Development Bank of China Children's Media, scanning with a mobile phone will be a surprise.
Next open the lid and let's see what's inside. The first thing that catches our eye is a yellow cover with a cute penguin boy figure welcoming us. The figure is from the 16th season of LEGO Draw.
Take out the internal components of the box at a time, and you can see that there are three parts, one is a yellow calendar bracket board, one is a thick stack of calendar paper, and there is a calendar buckle.
There's nothing to describe about the brackets and clasps, let's take a look at how the calendar goes. The calendar paper sheet is 17 cm high and 11 cm wide, and the calendar paper for a whole year is stacked together and the thickness reaches 4 cm. The calendar is printed on one side, with calendar-related content printed on the front and blank on the back. The quality of the paper is relatively thick, compared with our actual common calendar, the appearance is larger, and the quality of the paper is better.
The calendar is vertically printed, the front body is a set of sample drawings, each calendar introduces all or part of a LEGO set, covering more than a dozen product lines such as city group, good friends, NINJAGO® ninja, superhero, technology group and so on. Below the product picture, use a line of small print to make a brief introduction, or an introduction to the product, or borrow the mouth of the Lego doll to make a spit.
The lower left corner of the calendar is date information, including two dates in the Gregorian and lunar calendars, as well as the day of the week. In addition, if the date coincides with some festivals, whether it is a domestic festival or a foreign holiday or an international anniversary, it will be marked with a small red character. The place that reflects the designer's heart is every festival, and the building block theme of this page is basically related to the festival. For example, whether it is a small year or a New Year, the product with pictures is the story of Lego 80106; the picture of Chinese New Year's Eve Night is 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve meal; the Picture of Valentine's Day is 40379 Valentine's Day Bear, and festivals such as International Sailing Day are accompanied by the underwater reward number of ninjago series 71756. Others include the Dragon Boat Festival with the picture of 80103 dragon boat racing, and the Children's Day is 31119 Ferris wheel. Finally, in the lower right corner of the calendar, in addition to the must-have LEGO logo, there is the name of the page set and the number of bricks for easy searching.
We assemble the various parts, and the whole assembly process is not complicated. Attach the calendar through the clasp to the bracket and open the bracket to install it. After we put it together, we will take a look, the support of this calendar is still quite good, fully supported, and the effect of turning the page is also good. Of course, in the process of turning pages and viewing, the author found that the general calendar is mostly fixed by two or more buckles, and this calendar has only one buckle, so it is a little unstable, and the paper without the buckle is easy to deviate from the front angle and scatter to both sides. Although I understand that this calendar has its own reasons for using a single ring design, I still hope that if LEGO has similar products in the future, it can be replaced by two buckles.
Of course, this LEGO calendar is still perfect. As a functional calendar, in addition to checking dates, record memos can also learn about festivals. And the LEGO pictures and numbers it provides can be used as a very useful advertisement and a book of persuasion for players to start. I believe that everyone who gets this calendar is happy to see the LEGO set every day. Of course, if you struggle with the suits that appear every day and you haven't started yet, and those out-of-print ones can't afford to buy, then it's very uncomfortable to look at every day, haha.
This calendar has previously gained great popularity through modot crowdfunding. The pursuit of many players made it out of stock soon after it was listed. It was hard to find for a while, and all kinds of LEGO groups were inquiring about where the goods were and who bought them. Fortunately, not long ago, the Lego calendar was finally replenished, and friends who had not snapped up before could get started. On some online shopping platforms, its price is around eighty or ninety yuan. Compared with other calendar products, its price is expensive, but people don't buy it just to buy this calendar.
Finally, there is a little surprise, on the back of the box there is the public account of the National Development Children's Media, and the small partner who buys the calendar can get a set of LEGO theme desktop wallpapers for mobile phones and computers by paying attention to the public number to send prompt information. If you have already purchased a calendar, don't forget to pick it up. If you get the calendar, you will throw the box away, and you will not be able to pick it up quickly.
