LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar

If you and/or your kids love LEGOs and Star Wars, this LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar will bring the excitement of the holidays home every day during December! For 24 days you can open that day’s little box to find a surprise baggie of galactic lego pieces to put together.

The LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar contains a total of 307 pieces that come together to make a variety of minifigures, vehicles, starships, weapons, and other goodies. Directions for assembly are on the insides of the little doors.

• “Models include a landspeeder, The Arrowhead, Republic Fighter Tank, Naboo Starfighter, Twin-Pod Cloud Car, General Grievous’ Starfighter, Blaster Cannon, Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter, Imperial Troop Transport, TIE Fighter, AT-ACT, Zeta Class Cargo Shuttle and an Imperial Speeder Bike.

These simple little LEGO structures were easy enough for our 5 year old to construct with ease but the suggested age range is 6-14 years. I think an older child would get more out of the set since the younger ones can build the pieces but don’t understand the concepts around Star Wars. And someone has been eating a blue lollypop before his picture was taken!

When you are finished putting all of the LEGO pieces together, you can use the LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar box as a foldout playmat to design and implement your own Star Wars adventures. The layout has desert and ice-planet scenes to help you create your own storyline or reenact ones from the movies. This playset is #75213 on the LEGO site. The $39.99 price is about what you would expect for a LEGO set of this size. It is available at LEGO.com and lots of other retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon.
