I appreciate the work completed for this set, as a droid workshop consisting of characters from various time frames of the overall story. This set is acceptable for an individual or as an addition to other sets & creations, however, it is not to be divided amongst family members as no one would be satisfied with the tool rack or crate of miscellaneous droid parts while others received the BB-8 Snowman or Christmas sweater Jawa. Though it is Christmas, no armaments or weapons related to LEGO Star Wars are available. For a future Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, I would like to see a Separatist Firefighter Battle Droid & a discontinuation of the plastic bags such as for the mystery box Minifigures. Please, no more bodiless astromech legs either. As a Christmas special, it would be interesting to see Zam Wessel as part of a “sleigh” or a Nemodian, Gungan, or similar Warrior as an “elf”. Overall, a solid effort.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the worst Lego Advent Calendar I have purchased. Not much to build, it seemed like they cleaned out miscellaneous parts to create this terrible calendar. If you advertise this as Star Wars, make it a Star Wars Advent calendar, not a bunch of mismatched junk.
This was a terrible advent calendar this year. The kids didn’t get to build anything that they were excited about and the figurines were practically non-existent. Lego is better than this and I’m sure they’ll improve next year.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son gets these Lego Star Wars advent calendars every year. This one was underwhelming and he didn't enjoy it because of tiny characters with 2 and 3 piece characters to build versus better builds in the years passed. I'd be surprised if he asks for this advent calendar again.
I was really disappointed with this set. In previous years, there were either more minifigures or actual ships. This year while there were a good variety of droids, the droids were mostly made up of what felt like extra parts. Two of the figures were just single piece parts with nothing to build and the other figures were really lackluster. In previous years, we at least got a ship build or two, but none of that in this year's advent calendar. There was way too many scene pieces like tool rack or bar set, none of which have any significance to Star Wars in any regard. If you missed out on this set this year you really didn't miss out at all. Hopefully next year's set will be better.
This set was disappointing for both a parent and a teenage child that received it. There was an abundance of random 'tool carts' and vague droids versus any satisfying decorated mini figures or scenes. There were also a very large accumulation of extras single stud elements.
