It's a really good set and it is much better than the last few years advent calendars. Speaking to the 1 star reviews, in short it's a user error. Not to be mean but did they even try to look in the inside of the flaps for each day. Yeah the instructions are there. I let my little sister try to build one and she did it very fast. Yes the instructions are a little vague but my little sister can do it almost as fast as me and even my parents could do it, so I see no problem with the instructions.

Recommendation: meh 3 / 5 by Koen Van Der Hoeven

There are several builds, like the Gonk Droid, where I scratch my head about their inclusion. With Gonk they included him last year and did a perfect job on that so I was surprised to see him again, so I wasn't as impressed. That same feeling carries through on the set in general. There are a couple really awesome minifigs included, but most figs are common and not too hard to get in other sets. There are also a few good ideas for micro builds, but too many of them I looked at and felt “ehh" about although there were at least no weapons stand again this year.
