Completed Brick Calendar. Comes with two minifigs - a cheerleader and a skateboarder!

The Lego Brick Calendar was released in June 2011; at the time of this publication, all specialist Lego stores except Toy Station have run out of stock (be warned, Toy Station has only around 30 boxes left!)

This calendar is probably one of the simplest structures Lego will ever create. This colourful calendar makes a cheerful display in the living room or office desk. Perhaps one of the improvements Lego could have on this set is the whole point of this calendar - the day blocks. Each block has to be added manually to the red layers, which means that most of this calendar has to be taken apart every 30 days or so.

Lastly, the Calendar comes with two minifigs - a cheerleader and a skateboarder. While they may not be totally relevant to a calendar, they sure will come in handy in our Modular town. Well, we'll stop here for now. Stay tuned for our other building posts - Market Street, Grand Carousel and Winter Village Toy Shop! :)
