The Lego Star Wars advent calendar has become one of our favorite holiday traditions, as we are going on (I think) five years now of this product.
Sixteen days in, this year's version has been notable for a) it's lack of named minifigures and b) it's dearth of holiday-themed offerings. On the plus side, some of the mini-builds have been borderline spectacular, highlighted for me by Mythrol's speeder (shown above).
A couple of other standout builds were the Tusken snow ballista ...
The Imperial troop transport ...
And, of course, the e-web heavy blaster snow launcher ...
As always, big thanks to Jay's Brick Blog for his daily reviews and explanations, which bring some added levity and context to the calendar experience.
While I'm not a huge fan of the decision to show nearly all of the eventual reveals on the box packaging, I do expect some small twists here in the final stretch to Christmas -- a Bill Burr Mandalorian standup minifigure would be a welcomed addition.
