Performance

The Star Wars Advent Calendar is fantastic because it makes kids excited that they are getting a special surprise every day. They can even pick out random windows if they like to try and find a certain toy they want more than the others. The list of toys contained in the Star Wars Advent Calendar is also quite large and encompasses many of the movies in the franchise. Some of them include the AT-AT Walker, Snowtrooper, Naboo Starfighter, and a Santa-themed Darth Maul. This LEGO Star Wars Calendar makes a great gift, just like the Xbox 360 Star Wars Limited Edition.

Design

The Star Wars Advent Calendar has the same quality and design as most other sets. This means that all the pieces can interlink and allow children to modify them into unique creations. In total there are 234 pieces that can be used to make 24 different toys. Some of them are minifigures, Some are vehicles, and others are droids. This makes it fun for kids to play with all the items and create their own battles and other scenarios. The Star Wars Advent Calendar is well-designed, just like the Luke Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber Replica.

Value

Star Wars Advent Calendars were some of the best selling toys in the United Kingdom, and for good reason. It’s the perfect gift for the holiday season and with the wide range of items contained in the box, there’s sure to be some toys they like. One of the reasons why LEGO toys are timeless is because they can be added to kids’ existing collections to expand them. Everything from the Advent Calendar will work well with other Star Wars sets. This set offers incredible value, just like Star Wars the Complete Saga.

This set is the perfect gift for young fans of the saga and they will have hours of fun building and dismantling all the different toys in the box. They can also add their new characters to their other sets. Unfortunately, this advent calendar is more suited to children over six years old because of all the small parts.
