Insights

Released in the late 1990s and now retired, Advent Calendar (1298) is a Classic-era holiday set whose early Santa minifigure variant and long time out of production have left sealed copies scarce, and perennial seasonal interest supports demand while thin trading volume limits short-term liquidity.

Set Facts

The calendar contains twenty-two individual builds packaged for daily assembly during the holiday period.
It includes two Santa Claus minifigures designed for integration with the micro models.
The set features a range of vehicles spanning multiple transportation types, reflecting the Classic line’s varied subject matter.
The models use standard bricks and plates typical of late 1990s small scale sets.
The set includes 22 models to build and contains 1777 Airplane, 1778 Boat, 1779 Seaplane, 1823 Sailboat, 1859 Airplane, 2135 Airplane, 2136 Airplane, 2137 Glade Runner, 2138 Helicopter, 2139 Steamboat, 2164 Whale, 2707 Glider, and 2709 Snowmobile.

BrickEconomy Member Review

“The 1998 Basic Advent Calendar includes 22 small models, such as airplanes, boats, and festive builds like Santa Claus figures. While it offers a variety of designs, the limited release and simpler builds may not appeal to everyone seeking more intricate holiday-themed sets.”
