Hey folks! As you can see, some of my posts are missing images and links due to some host issues I experienced recently. I'm working through getting those corrected as quickly as I can. However, if you are looking at a page you'd like me to correct sooner rather than later, drop me a line with the title of the blog post and I will move it up in my list of fixes to make. Thanks for your help!

I originally started writing a comparison of the LEGO advent calendars back in September, but clearly got sidetracked. With December just around the corner, I figured I should get to it. Better to have information before LEGO’s Black Friday sale, right? So here is a year to year comparison of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar…

Who can resist the siren call of a great Star Wars set? That’s why many a fan looks forward each August to purchase the latest edition of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. Sporting no less then 6 minifigures, the calendar manages to reimagine our beloved Star Wars characters in new scenes each Christmas. While a few weeks ago I gave a poor review for the LEGO Friends Advent Calendar, you can be assured you get more bang for your buck with the Star Wars version.

As in previous years, LEGO has done a great job of filling out this set well for Star Wars enthusiasts:

	AT-AT Walker	Dooku’s Solar Sailer	Moisture Vaporator
	Sith Infiltrator	Naboo Cruiser	Anakin’s Y-wing Starfighter
	Vulture Droid	Jedi Starfighter	Clone Trooper Weapon Station
	Gungan Sub	Zam Wesell’s Speeder	Hoth Command Center

		R5-F7

I’m generally not a fan of Christmas decorations that have nothing to do with Christmas, but I do rather enjoy the holiday accents on the droid, stormtrooper and of course, Darth Santa. The fireplace comes in a close second. Other than that, the rest of the mini builds are well suited for all year play.
