LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar

Preordered this about a month ago and we got it today. It's an advent calendar but we opened it like any normal lego set. My 6 year old daughter loves it and so do I. I attached a picture with 4 pictures, 3 are my own set and then 1 is the stock picture. What you see in the stock picture is EVERYTHING you get. There isn't anything missing from that picture. Of course you will get extra pieces just like a normal lego set just in case you lose something. (You can see the “extras" off to the side of my 3rd picture of everything built). The build instructions are on the inside flap of the square you open. Even though we opened it all at once, we took turns and the anticipation for the minifigures was REAL for my 6 y/o hah.... so a heads up for parents: The characters are in squares: 1 (Harry), 6 (McGonagall), 10 (Ron), 14 (Hermione) , 18 (Flitwick), 23 (Dumbledore). Also a fun snowman in square 15. Gold statue minifigure in square 21. more less

All in all, I was pretty happy with this year's set and had little to be disappointed with other than no custom minifig that's holiday themed like the Christmas Wookie from a few years back. more less

I had never received an advent set before so I decided to buy one and this is what I discover. It comes with a lot of Star Wars miniature memorabilia and a few minifigures. If you buy it for a child, their imagination will run rampant with all the different possibilities opened up by the random, diverse mini sets and characters. For adults, the fun is having the knickknacks, but nothing really more, in my opinion. Unless your an adult who still has a strong enough imagination to play with what you get, this set is better off for younger ages. On a personal note: I prefer larger scale sets and more challenging builds, so I didn't really care for the mini sets. Nevertheless, I did it for the experience and it does come with neat items. more less
