It’s also worth mentioning that you’ll end up with a pretty decent pile of surplus parts over the course of the month. In our house, we usually have a small cup next to the calendar to collect these – maybe one year we’ll make a building competition around them. Next we have what appears to be a Republic Acclimator-class Cruiser, Bad Batch shuttle, and T-16 Skyhopper. Of these, the Acclimator seems like the weakest build, particularly if it’s supposed to be a ARC-170 Starfighter as listed in the product description at LEGO.com. Maybe it’s supposed to be a different vessel. My Star Wars lore is not encyclopedic, so if there’s a better ID, let us know in the comments! In my experience, most fans come to the Star Wars Advent Calendar looking for the minifigures. This year there are eight, three of whom have exclusive holiday printing. But we’ll start out by looking at the weakest entries – both from the Clone Wars era.
This LEGO Advent Calendar 2022 for Kids features Star Wars characters in fun seasonal outfits, vehicles from the saga and epic toy accessories At the end of the advent, you’ll have 24 daily builds to enjoy. There’s a good range of stuff here, with a little something to appeal to just about every Star Wars fan.Darth Vader, in an odd twist, is dressed for summer. (Or maybe Decembers on Mustafar are just that warm.) He has a new dual-sided custom torso print showing off a Summer on Scarif, with the Death Star hovering in the sky in a totally non-threatening way. He also comes with a white sports ball, with a manufacturing dimple that kind of makes it look like a beach Death Star pool toy. The LEGO Group has been recreating starships, vehicles, locations and characters from the Star Wars universe since 1999, and there is a huge variety of sets for fans of all ages. This LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2022 makes a super, collectible Christmas gift idea for kids and Star Wars fans aged 6 and over. LEGO Star Wars Christmas 2022 Advent Calendar with Star Wars collectible toys will become a great piece of decoration for the children's room Toy building kits for all ages – LEGO® Star Wars™ sets allow kids and adult fans to relive epic scenes, role-play original stories or just build and display the authentic construction models LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar (75340) – Build festive spirit during the Christmas holidays with this Advent calendar, featuring Star Wars characters, mini build toy vehicles and accessories
Bottom line, if you’re a Star Wars fan who wants to integrate that joy into the larger holiday season, then you’ll be happy with this one. If you’re not a Star Wars fan…why are you even reading this review? Festive centerpiece – Between door-opening ceremonies and playtime adventures, this LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar makes a colorful display piece in any room With Snowtrooper, C-3PO and R2-D2 in Christmas jumpers decorated with each other's portraits, the Wampa Cave or Gonk Droid dressed as Santa Kids and adults can join in creative play and recreate movie scenes by combining this Advent Calendar with other LEGO Star Wars building toys We wrap up the micro-fleet with a Droid Tri-Fighter, TIE Interceptor, and B-Wing. I had to place the B-Wing on a stand made from other pieces in this set for the photo – it won’t stand up on its own. Likewise, the TIE interceptor is unbalanced and rests at an odd angle when not “in use.”
Details
The LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar for kids 2022 features collectible characters: C-3PO and R2-D2 in Christmas jumpers decorated with each other's portraits, a Gonk Droid dressed as Santa and Darth Vader in a summer outfit from LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation on Disney+. There are also Luke Skywalker, a Clone Trooper Commander and Snowtrooper LEGO Star Wars minifigures and a Battle Droid. LEGO Star Wars vehicles mini builds in the Advent Calendar include: an ARC-170 Starfighter, Luke's Ground Speeder, Bad Batch Shuttle, V-35 Landspeeder and moisture vaporator. Kids will find assorted builds and accessories to play out Battle of Hoth stories, a Wampa cave in which the Luke Skywalker LEGO Star Wars minifigure can be hung upside down and a beach scene for Darth Vader on holiday.
A super holiday gift idea for Star Wars fans aged 6 and up, the calendar contains 16 mini builds, such as an ARC-170 Starfighter, Bad Batch Shuttle, V-35 Landspeeder and a moisture vaporator. Kids will find assorted builds and accessories to play out Battle of Hoth stories, a Wampa cave in which the Luke Skywalker LEGO minifigure can be hung upside down and a beach scene for Darth Vader on vacation. The advent box’s play area is a little weak, but that’s always going to be the case for a single set that needs to span so many iconic movie locations. In this case, a mash-up between “Hoth” and “Winter on Endor” seems like a good compromise. Plus 8 LEGO Star Wars characters including Darth Vader in summer outfit from the Disney+ Movie LEGO Star Wars: Summer Break and Luke SkywalkerNext up is the Festive Shirt Gang – C-3PO, R2-D2, and Darth Vader. 3PO and R2 are showing their holiday spirit with festive ugly sweaters. Both torsos are unique prints for this set, with the droid’s other parts all having previous appearances. R2’s red sweater features 3PO’s face on the front. This version of his dome has been around since 2020. Behind each of those door-tabs is a small illustration showing how the day’s gift should be built. Like our review of the Marvel Superheroes 76231 Guardians of the Galaxy Advent Calendar, I won’t be spoiling which build is hidden behind each day. Instead, you get a picture of all the days in a big pile. Merry Christmas!
