Lego Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar Recap
This year for the holidays, I celebrated the countdown to Christmas with two Advent Calendars. I’m recapping the Lego Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar here, and over at PopVinyls.com I check out the Freddy Funko Pint Size Heroes 2017 Advent Calendar. For the Lego Star Wars calendar, each of the 24 days had either a Minifigure, and build, or a micro build, all of which included basic instructions for assembly. Let’s check them out.

Day 24: BB-8 Santa on Snowboard
Overall, I don’t do these Lego Star Wars Advent Calendars every year, but I don’t feel this was a strong showing. Out of the 24 days, we got 8 Minifigs, 4 builds, and 12 micro builds. Too many micro builds to be honest. I would have loved to have also seen more diversity in the assortment, not mainly focused on Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One, and The Force Awakens. A Jedi character would have been awesome, or a larger build that took up two days.
Still, I did get this on sale online in a Black Friday sale, so I was not out the full retail cost. Also, a few of the Minifigs like Sabine, the First order Snowtrooper with his Snowblower, Santa BB-8 are fun to add to my Lego collection, with the later two going directly into the Christmas display stuff.
