Product Information

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. We wrap up with the Hoth Adventure Gang – a Snowtrooper, Luke in cold weather gear, and Santa Gonk. LEGO® Star Wars™ characters – C-3PO and R2-D2 in festive outfits, Darth Vader in a summer outfit, plus Luke Skywalker, a Clone Trooper Commander, Snowtrooper, Battle Droid and a Gonk Droid 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 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. 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. 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.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.

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. R2’s red sweater features 3PO’s face on the front. This version of his dome has been around since 2020.This LEGO Advent Calendar 2022 for Kids features Star Wars characters in fun seasonal outfits, vehicles from the saga and epic toy accessories 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. 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. 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?

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.”Like most LEGO advent calendars, the daily gifts can be clumped into similar thematic groups. We’ll start out by taking a look at the microscale ships – a pretty large fleet of nine vehicles. First up are a V-35 Landspeeder, Luke’s X-34 Landspeeder, and a Republic Gunship. We last saw a LEGO V-35 in the 75290 Mos Eisely Cantina set, and we saw Ultimate Collector Series editions of both the Gunship and X-34 this year.
