What to know about LEGO 43298

A 290-piece Disney calendar for ages 5+. It has four microdolls (Ariel, Cinderella, Moana, Mulan) and four animal friends (Gus, Mushu, Pua, Sebastian), and the box becomes a game board with a buildable spinner for up to eight players. It lists at $44.99 and is currently on sale for about $30 at Amazon and Target.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

It packs 290 pieces, with Ariel, Cinderella, Moana and Mulan microdolls plus Gus, Mushu, Pua and Sebastian. LEGO's and Target's listings both describe the box becoming a game board with a buildable spinner, which gives siblings and friends a reason to keep playing after the 24th.

At its current sale price it is the best price per piece among the 2026 LEGO calendars. That price is below the list price and may not last.

What to know

Skip it if your child wants full-size minifigure-style characters. Some LEGO.com reviewers complain the figures are only microdolls. We also found no independent hands-on review, and TODAY is the only outlet recommending it.
Performance

Score breakdown

Chocolate Taste & Quality

Flavor and texture of the chocolate, and craftsmanship as judged by hands-on testers.

7.8
LEGO-system parts, but builds are small and microdolls draw some customer complaints; no independent review
Variety & No Repeats

Number of distinct pieces and flavors, the mix of milk, dark and white chocolate, and how many repeat days there are.

7.6
8 characters plus mini builds; seasonal props add some filler
Presentation & Daily Experience

Packaging design, keepsake or reusable elements, extras such as lights, music, storybooks or AR, and portion size per day.

8.2
Box becomes a game board with a buildable spinner (LEGO and Target listings); untested by reviewers
Freshness, Shipping & Availability

Whether it arrives fresh and unmelted, preorder and ship timing, sell-out risk, and ease of buying in the US.

8.5
In stock and sold by Amazon.com
Health, Ingredients & Sustainability

Allergen clarity, ingredient claims (palm-oil-free, gluten-free, no preservatives), ethical cocoa sourcing, packaging waste and reusability.

7.0
Standard LEGO small-parts warning (5+); packaging mostly paper-based
Value

Price per day and per piece relative to the quality and quantity of chocolate.

8.4
About 10 cents a piece at the current $30 sale price; less compelling at the $44.99 list
