The Harry Potter Lego advent calendar is suitable for ages 6+. 2. Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar [2020] [75245] LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure secure connections and robust builds – it’s been that way since 1958. The Lego City series is the standard Lego brand, this Christmas themed advent calendar features a number of great buildable characters. The City calendar has over 234 puzzle pieces included, children will be able to explore the chilly Winterland with 7 different Lego mini-figures and over 24 items including vehicles and seasonal items. At least that’s how I’ve managed to make sense of the bright red nose, and as we’re nearing Christmas, I can’t help but enjoy the little festive touch the designers applied to the Tauntaun model. We’ve hit double digits on the 2020 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! Day 10 gives us yet another festive character – D-O, the cute little droid introduced in Episode 9!

The Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar 2018 is suitable for ages 6+ 5. Lego Friends Advent Calendar [2019] [41382] The 2020 Star Wars Advent Calendar continues to deliver, and Day 3 is no exception with a delightful rendition of Lars Homestead from Tattooine, home of the Lars family that raised Luke Skywalker. LEGO® Star Wars™ building toys are awesome for kids (and adult fans) to recreate scenes from the saga, dream up original stories or just build and display the awesome construction models. Gramophone Record Player – Ridiculously large and unrealistic! What more can you ask from a piece of technology in the magical universe? Everything from the needle to the disk to the wind-up crank has been meticulously designed with such few pieces bringing this mini build to life. You can almost hear the music blasting at the Yule Ball as you put this build together.

Conclusion

Once again it will include Santa himself, along with Rudolph and his sleigh, a Christmas tree and other Lego City festive vehicles and items. With the arrival of the Republic Cruiser, I hope this heralds a shift towards the Prequels, and hope we see more from the historically-maligned but now widely beloved prequels – all thanks to the magic of r/prequelmemes.

This seems to almost be a carbon copy of the Luke Skywalker from the 2014 Advent Calendar except that he has a different face, and comes with a pair of macrobinoculars. It’s truly a Christmas miracle – it’s Day 10 and we still haven’t gotten a filler or subpar build! Can the Star Wars Advent Calendar continue its 10-day streak of awesome builds and characters? Find out tomorrow! Are you looking for a festive LEGO advent calendar? This LEGO Friends 2022 Advent Calendar 41706 has the holiday spirit down to every detail. For ages six and up, this advent calendar has 312 pieces and is perfect for LEGO Friends fans. If you have a child who knows the LEGO Friends characters, they will be so excited to open the doors and find Olivia, Ava, and Santiago. While there aren't too many of the main characters, there are plenty of holiday figures to keep the calendar Christmas-themed. Some Christmas characters include Santa, an adorable reindeer, and a snowman. More notable figures include the Christmas tree, Santa's throne, Christmas sleigh, and bag of toys to inspire imaginative play for kids obsessed with Christmas. Plus, the Christmas sleigh can attach to the reindeer! As a bonus, you also get a spare set of arms, which are orientated differently – one is straight, which can hold blasters correctly, and the other is angled slightly.

Top 4 Mini Builds

The profile and proportions could be improved slightly, and the exposed studs on the side are not the best aesthetic choices, as the Razor Crest is best known for its sleek, metallic exterior. As an added bonus, Darth Vader also comes with the new variant of his helmet, which is made of 2 parts. You also get a peek at Darth Vader’s dishevelled face, which is pale and just begging for a tan. We continue the Tatooine goodness on Day 4 with a Luke Skywalker minifigure, featuring his outfit from A New Hope! This is the first time the Shield Generator has made an appearance in Advent Calendars, and I think the micro model works perfectly with the Snowspeeder, to set up your own mini battle of Hoth scene. Thank you for all the work you put into your blog. The photos are always amazing quality. It must take some time and effort to do every day, and I appreciate that.

For many models, we’ve been able to see a clear progression of designs, and are often upgrades. Putting them side by side, I think I actually prefer the 2014 version better! As always, the instruction of each day’s builds are printed on the inside of the doors, so be careful and try not to rip them out! The six figures included are split 50/50 mix between male and female characters but the male figs get a bit more love with the only exclusive torso, a blue knitted sweater with a police bear on it. (The bear reminds me of the cheetah Clawhauser in Disney’s Zootopia but this has to be a coincidence.) The Friends calendar tends to have less mini-figures and is not a licensed major franchiseso I am unsure what the reasoning for the low piece count compared to the other advent calendars is. Unfortunately this decision has definitely had an impact on the quality of the designs. Okay, is this the best Star Wars Advent Calendar yet? Day 5 gives us an absolutely sensational model – the Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.A large-scale model of this would be brilliant, and it’s great to see the LEGO designers dip into seldom-used ships like this, and the Republic Cruiser for the Advent Calendar.

Pit Droid– While this set comes with four buildable figs / creatures, there’s really only one that stands out to me and that’s the Pit Droid from the original Episode 1, Phantom Menace. I’ve seen several variations on this and have a loaded pit full of the original ones from 20 years ago, I think this version is really well done and makes nice use of parts in reddish brown.

The Details

Fans of The Mandalorian are absolutely going to be delighted with Day 5’s build, and if you’ve been watching The Mandalorian religiously, the timing of this certainly does seem very fitting!
