With 10 mini model vehicles including Bad Batch Shuttle, Luke's Ground Speeder, Republic gunship, B-wing, TIE Interceptor and AT-ST of Hoth 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.

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. Next 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. 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?

mini build vehicles – Republic Gunship, Droid Trifighter, ARC-170 Starfighter, Bad Batch Shuttle, Luke's Landspeeder, T-16 Skyhopper, V-35 Landspeeder, B-wing, TIE Interceptor and Hoth AT-ST 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.” Kids and adults can join in creative play and recreate movie scenes by combining this Advent Calendar with other LEGO Star Wars building toys

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. C-3PO pays tribute to his pal R2 with his own knitted outfit in blue. His legs are the same as those that appear in the 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor diorama.

Manual

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!
