INSOON, calendrier de l'Avent Book Nook 990 briques

Insoon seems like it is becoming a brand of building bricks I know I can decently trust for the most part. They had me at book nook with this one though. I've come to really enjoy book nooks and this is that but also an advent calendar so it even cooler. You can just see the whole book nook come together each day through each step of building and it ends up really fun when you get to the end. I have had issues with insoon quality in the past but it hasn't happened in a while now and this set wasn't really any different. Instructions were easy and clear and everything went together really nicely. I think price wise it could be questionable at first but when you look it at it ends up being pretty good size brick wise and its a really nice cohesive build ending up a book nook like this. For all those reasons I sort of went back on it and it really does feel like it ends up being a good value for what you pay. Overall I find myself adding to the growing list of insoon builds I've had and enjoyed and would give it a solid recommendation.

I absolutely loved the INSOON Advent Calendar 2026 Magic Book Nook Building Set with Lights. It’s one of the most unique advent calendars I’ve ever tried, and it made the countdown to Christmas feel genuinely enchanting. Instead of simple daily trinkets, each day reveals a new set of mini bricks that slowly build into a beautifully detailed storybook‑themed book nook—complete with warm LED lights that bring the whole scene to life. The daily builds were fun, relaxing, and surprisingly intricate. I enjoyed seeing how each small piece contributed to the final display, and by Christmas Eve, the finished book nook looked like a tiny magical world tucked inside a book. The lighting adds a cozy glow that makes it perfect for a bookshelf or holiday display. The instructions were clear, and the pieces fit together well. The bricks are small, so younger kids might need help, but teens and adults will appreciate the detail. I also liked that every day felt meaningful—no filler items, just actual building pieces that contribute to the final scene. Overall, this advent calendar is creative, charming, and wonderfully festive. If you love book nooks, miniatures, or Christmas décor, this set is a delightful way to celebrate the season. It’s definitely a holiday tradition I’d enjoy doing again. Lire la suite

I love books. I love magic, Harry Potter, Christmas, and I REALLY love book nooks. I’ve been building a bunch of the wooden ones lately, so when this one fell into my lap, they had me at “Book Nook.” Then I saw it was an INSOON product. I like this brand, and I’ve kept my grandchildren supplied with bricks from them. And I make sure to get them big kits - the kind that are very time-consuming and keep them busy and quiet. Well... busy anyway. 😂 When I see the term "Book Nook," I immediately think wooden pieces. That's not what this is. This IS a book nook, and it closes up like one, but this is more of a Lego-type book nook made with little plastic bricks rather than wooden pieces. And before somebody gets technical on me, I’m sorry, but I do not speak Brick. The rest of my family speaks fluent Brick. I know bricks and mini figs. That's it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Terminology, definitions or technique - zip, zero, zilch. So this is not that kind of a review. From the pictures, this thing looks absolutely adorable. And this one is mine! The fun part is the fact that this is an Advent calendar. And being an Advent Calendar, you only build a little each day. So it's going to start out pretty segmented and disjointed. Thank goodness each day is supplied with its own set of instructions. Keeps confusion to a minimum. And along those lines, to keep it a safe and happy holiday season... This is not for younger children. Very small pieces. The box says ages 8+ and up, and boy am I 8➕📈...UP. 🪂 I just know I like putting the little things together. See? It doesn't take much to keep me happy and quiet. The finished scene is a magical little potion world with witchy herbs and candles. Cute bats, house spiders and all sorts of fun stuff. And from what I can see, the quality looks to be there, just like the other INSOON kits I've ordered. And with that in mind, I expect this one will be no different 🤞🏻 I have had feedback that in one or two of the kits I've gifted, sometimes a couple of pieces won't want to stay in place. But seeing that my kids display their finished products rather than tear them down again, there's this really nifty stuff that can come in quite handy... It's called glue. 😂 So I can't tell you how it all goes together yet, as I am waiting - like a good girl - until December 1st to get started. It's still only August 😭 But I am so curious to see how it all comes together. Oh, and another thing!! Apparently it lights up too. Even the bubbling cauldron 👀. I can't wait to see that! I'm sure this is going to be a fun project. But ask me Christmas Day. 🎄😂 Lire la suite

I've been buying brick building advent calendars as an alternative to candy for years. My daughter loves them. This is one a bit different. The building project is done in 24 daily "steps" rather than completing a small figure each day. (I wonder how many people give in and build it all at once once.) It may not be as appealing to younger kids who want to see more immediate results, so judge for yourself if it can hold their interest through the month. I believe INSOON also sells this as a regular set. It would be interesting to see the instruction book. The individual page for each step isn't what I'm used to. I'm basically a brick building junkie and INSOON/PLAXSOON* ranks very high for consistent quality. Detailed instructions, rarely missing pieces (although I've noticed others mention it). Their sets often include spares and the completed models are solid. Illustrations are better in the books and often include tips for similar colors and shapes. I have another book nook set, but it's not an advent calendar build. I love the details on these! It's like a little fairy house. If your kids are getting bored with advent building sets that only have daily smallest models, this could be a great alternative to build (pun intended) more anticipation for the final steps. Review of INSOON Advent Calendar 2026 Magic Book Nook Building Set with Lights 24 Days Christmas Countdown Bookend Building Kit for Home Decor, Xmas Halloween Holiday Gift for Adults Teens Boys Girls 8+ No AI was used to write this review. *Are you confused by the PLAXSOON/INSOON branding? Not to worry! A little research confirmed they are different branches of one distributor. You can expect the same quality from both "brands" which is great because I've been really pleased with the (many) sets I've gotten so far! Lire la suite

This Lego compatible kit is a really good fantasy book nook that would work well with anybody's Harry Potter, fantasy, or Halloween collection. I'm less sure if it works as an advent calendar because a new item isn't being discovered each day. It's more of a standard building kit in 24 numbered bags. A new mini build each day would be fun for kids to get each day. Getting a small part of a larger build each day might be too frustrating for them. It's a matter of asking a child, used to building a Lego set in a day or so, to patiently make this in 24 days. That's not a knock against this model. A parent has to decide whether to get this as a present or as an advent calendar. I built the first 4 days to get a feel for the quality of the parts. The good news is that it's like building a Lego model. The parts go together well. The instructions are fine--though illustrations can sometimes be a tad small on the folded double-sided sheets that are 11" x 8 1/4" when unfolded. I'll save the rest for December to see whether getting a small bag of parts a day is a hit or a miss. I can't help but think this model would be cheaper if it wasn't formatted as an advent calendar. Day 9 includes a tall 2x4 brick with 5 wired lights ranging in length from 10 cm to 45 cm. There's also a rat, falcon, tan + black cats; various transparent pieces for vials, glassware, and gems; gold plates & pieces (not metallic painted); a cauldron; utensils on a sprue; dark green "Fence 1x4x1 [6589880]"; brooms; light green "Brick 1x2x1 2-3 With 4 Knobs"; brown curved & straight bannisters.
