LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar

Picked this up just before Dec 1 for 25% off, figured I may give it a go with my 9 year old son who is a Star Wars lego fan. He was excited to open the set, and we began. After a week of un-inspired builds and no interesting minifigures, he began to loose interest, and now he will just take the bag of parts out, look at what the build should be, and go do something else. This will be the last one of these I will buy and will look to a video game or other options to celebrate the season. The same happened last year, somewhere in the Christmas decorations etc there is a 2017 set partly completed, Inwill find it a recycle the parts into the play brick, as no one will miss the builds from the last 2 years. more less

Last year, the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar took a dip in quality and this year not only continued that downward trend but steepened the angle of descent. I recognise that adults are not the target audiences for these models, but even my children were a little bored by it this year. None of the figures excited them and they were disappointed to not see a more exciting final figure. The finale is the most important part of these advent calendars – let's hope the LEGO Group remembers that next year. more less
