Because we here at The Brothers Brick have a time machine, we feel that there’s nothing particularly odd about starting our coverage of the new LEGO Advent Calendars a day late.

Each day until Christmas Eve, we’ll be revealing the mini-kits and minifigs from that day’s LEGO Star Wars and Friends Advent Calendars. Why not LEGO City? Because meh. To keep the secret alive, we’ll be posting pretty late in the day here on the US West Coast (GMT -8:00), and we’ll put that day’s reveal after the jump.

This isn’t really a review — we’ll save our thoughts until the end — more of a virtual Advent Calendar we can all enjoy together. So, follow along, and let us know what you think about each kit in the comments.

The Day 1 LEGO Star Wars kit is an adorable little Sail Barge.

The Day 1 LEGO Friends kit is Andrea in a great holiday sweater.

Behind the Day 2 door, the Star Wars kit is the Great Pit of Carkoon, with a cute Sarlacc.

Day 2 of the Friends Advent Calendar brings us — I’m not sure what… A pair of skates on a brick?
