Christmas might still be months away, but if your kids are into Magna-Tiles, this is one Advent calendar I wouldn't wait until December to buy. The wildly popular magnetic building toy brand just released its first-ever Magna-Tiles Advent Calendar.
Magna-Tiles are a favorite in my house, but they're certainly not the cheapest toys to collect, with some of the brand's larger sets costing around $120. This 34-piece advent calendar is less than $40 and gives kids a new piece or surprise to open each day while building toward a holiday-themed set they can keep playing with long after Christmas. With thousands already sold, I wouldn't be surprised if this one becomes increasingly difficult to find as we get closer to the holidays.
Here's a look at
the 25-day holiday countdown calendar featuring Magna-Tiles:

Tip: If you're interested in a popular option like the Magna-Tiles Advent Calendar, consider grabbing it as soon as you're ready to buy, since highly sought-after toy calendars can become harder to find as the holidays get closer.

What comes in the Magna-Tiles Advent Calendar?
This is the first-ever Magna-Tiles advent calendar. It includes 34 new holiday-themed Magna-Tiles, including a Santa and Conductor figure. The box features 10 decorated square microMAGS, 3 decorated isosceles triangles and a microChassis that rides on the track inside the back cover of the package.
When should I buy an advent calendar?
If you see an advent calendar you love, it's usually smart to buy it early. Many of the most popular calendars, especially toy, beauty and specialty food editions, start launching months before the holiday season and can sell out well before Dec. 1. Shopping early also gives you the best selection and helps you avoid last-minute price increases or low inventory.
