Best LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars
Whether you prefer City, Friends, or Star Wars, there's nothing quite like opening a new door every day to reveal a new LEGO surprise. And let's be honest, the LEGO Star Wars advent calendars are a fan favourite, filled with all kinds of galactic goodies.Sure, these calendars can be a bit pricey, but they're worth it for the excitement they bring. And while many people just buy the newest one each year, we advise taking a closer look at this list before making a decision. After all, some of the older advent calendars may be even better than their newer counterparts.
So, get ready for a journey through the best LEGO Star Wars advent calendars of all time! From classic minifigures to stunning spacecrafts, this list will showcase the very best that LEGO and Star Wars have to offer.
This advent calendar is a great choice for Star Wars fans, as it includes several mini-figures from the franchise, including Yoda, Darth Vader, and a snowtrooper. It also features a range of vehicles and accessories to build, such as a TIE fighter and a moisture vaporator. Remember how in the list of best LEGO City advent calendars of the 2010s, I mentioned how the City advent calendar of 2014 was quite underwhelming and a bit disappointing? I mean, it was pretty good or maybe even great, but for a LEGO City calendar, it was a bit disappointing.
The exact opposite can be said of its Star Wars counterpart. Oh man, is this one heck of a good advent calendar! Even the best Star Wars advent calendar! The minifigures and builds are stellar, especially the minifigures. There's Santa Darth Vader, a Christmas tree droid, Luke Skywalker, and a stormtrooper with a Santa hat on it. I just love this one so much.
This advent calendar features a range of mini-figures and vehicles from the Star Wars franchise, including a Jango Fett mini-figure, an AT-TE walker, and a Republic gunship. It also includes several accessories and weapons to build, such as blasters and lightsabers. This is one calendar my brother owns, and I love it as well. Sure, it's based on everyone's least favorite Star Wars movie in the main series (Attack of the Clones), but as a fan of that movie, I really like this calendar. It references that movie so much, and the mini-models are so good! Especially Obi-Wan's starfighter and Zam Wessel's ship. Santa Jango Fett is quite a cool Santa exclusive as well.
This advent calendar includes several mini-figures from the Star Wars franchise, including Yoda, Darth Maul, and a clone trooper. It also features a range of vehicles and accessories to build, such as a Naboo starfighter and a Gungan sub. The only calendar on the list that I actually own and the first one I got, so it's kind of a biased choice. But anyway, this one's based on The Phantom Menace and parts of The Empire Strikes Back. It shows how there are tons of winter gadgets and Darth Maul as a Santa exclusive this time. I loved the mini-models, and the overall minifigures were cool.
This advent calendar is a great choice for fans of the newer Star Wars films, as it features mini-figures from The Last Jedi and Solo, such as Rose Tico and a Range Trooper. It also includes several vehicles and accessories to build, such as a First Order Star Destroyer and a mini Millennium Falcon. The one from 2018, the latest one as I'm making this list, looks better than its predecessors. I mean, 2015-2017 was quite a disappointing period for Star Wars advent calendars, but this one looks better. While it's based on my least favorite Star Wars movie (The Last Jedi), it looks good. It has some rare minifigures and the builds are quite cool.
However, this one suffers from one major, MAJOR flaw that kind of ruins it! I won't spoil it, but just look up the box art and you'll see what I mean. Other than that, it's quite cool.
This advent calendar includes several mini-figures from the Star Wars franchise, including Chewbacca, a stormtrooper, and a First Order snowtrooper. It also features a range of vehicles and accessories to build, such as a Star Destroyer and a speeder bike. Of the disappointing 2015-2017 era of LEGO Star Wars advent calendars, I can assure you that this one is still quite decently cool. I mean sure, it has some boring builds, but overall, the stuff that was good was VERY good! I mean, Santa C-3PO and reindeer R2-D2 are just great! Decently good is this calendar.
This advent calendar includes several mini-figures from the Star Wars franchise, including a Rebel Trooper and a Battle Droid. It also features a range of vehicles and accessories to build, such as a Naboo starfighter and a mini Millennium Falcon. Now, this was the first Star Wars calendar that was released, so a few flaws are definitely expected. However, compared to the first LEGO City calendar released (the 2005 one), this one is great. It's based on the prequel trilogy (The Phantom Menace to be more specific), and it has some cool stuff. I mean, Nute Gunray is quite rare, and so is Santa Yoda!
This advent calendar features several mini-figures from the Star Wars franchise, including a First Order stormtrooper and an AT-DP driver. It also includes several vehicles and accessories to build, such as a First Order Special Forces TIE fighter and a mini Slave I. My brother had this one, but I'm glad I didn't buy it because I will always stick to the City calendars. This one's kind of below decent. Most of the mini-models are underwhelming or do not look good. Even some of the minifigures are ones you don't really care about, like a Bespin officer or some sort of pilot.
Now, I will admit, I loved Luke Skywalker in his ROTJ appearance, and Snow Chewie was very cool. But overall, this calendar didn't do too much for me.
This advent calendar includes several mini-figures from the Star Wars franchise, including a First Order stormtrooper and a Rebel Trooper. It also features a range of vehicles and accessories to build, such as a miniaturized Millennium Falcon and a mini All Terrain Scout Transport. Now this one's a disappointing one! This is one my brother had, and I seriously do not like it. Not only is it based on The Force Awakens, which is one of the worst Star Wars movies, but the setting is bad. Jakku is a desert planet, and you have it as the main setting of the calendar? Wow.
It might also have the worst exclusive ever: BB-8 with a Santa hat. Seriously, there's nothing unique about this one. It's just a normal BB-8 with a Santa hat. Why not Kylo Ren, who is someone in need of a Santa suit? *sigh* This is the worst one, in my opinion.
