The LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar provides the opportunity for fans to create their own stories inspired by The Mandalorian TV show. The calendar provides 24 surprise toys to uncover in the days leading up to Christmas, including some minifigures of iconic characters.
Such minifigures include The Mandalorian himself, Grogu, and Moff Gideon – all of which are sporting their own festive Christmas jumpers to celebrate the season. The set also includes seven mini-build vehicles of iconic ships from the show, such as Mando’s N-1 Starfighter, The Razor Crest, a toy speeder bike, the Outland TIE Fighter, and more.
The set is rated as suitable for any Star Wars fan aged six and over. Overall, all sets included in the Advent Calendar contain 293 pieces, making it a significantly easier build, especially for those with little experience working with LEGO.
However, if you want something a little different, you could instead opt for the Sonic the Hedgehog Advent Calendar, which has been reduced from £21.99 to £13.49. This Sonic-themed advent calendar comes equipped with a wide variety of branded gifts for fans of the franchise to enjoy, including books and crafts.
Otherwise, you could get the Basic Fun K’NEX Building set, which is currently discounted on Amazon from £34.99 to £27.99. Instead of building bricks, this set uses connecting rods and mini wheels to help your child create any figure they can imagine with the available 417 pieces.
Shoppers who already grabbed the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar awarded it a perfect five-star rating on Argos, with one happy customer writing: “I have bought every LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar since they started and never been disapointed, looking for to December to start opening windows.”
Another added: “Bought as I enjoyed last years droid themed advent calendar and I was interested to get not only the Carson teva minifigure but also the ig-11 minifigure with the new head mould. It’s great!
“We also get din djarin, grogu and Moff Gideon in Christmas jumper outfits and a grey Jawa you can add to the new sandcrawler if you have it. Particularly cute are the mini dewback and blurrg builds. Overall these plus the ship mini builds make it worth getting.”
A third said: “I stopped getting Lego Star Wars Advent Calendars after repetitive builds or similar minifigures outfits. But this year Grogu’s cuteness made me purchase it! Now I have to wait until 1st of December!”
While there are no outwardly negative reviews, customers should note that it is only rated as suitable for those aged six and over. Because of this, it might not be the ideal gift for younger children.
Furthermore, while it does contain a wide variety of characters from Star Wars, these are all almost exclusively from The Mandalorian show. If you’re more of a fan of the movies or other Star Wars media, there might not be as much in this calendar that you’ll enjoy.
