With five-day segments dedicated to the Clone Wars, Tattooine, and eclectic lightheartedness, I wasn't sure what to expect from the fourth five-day stretch of "Star Wars" Lego Advent Calendar reveals.
Welcome to Hoth.
Hoth elements have always lent themselves easily to the holiday calendar, and Lego really leaned into the theme here:
Day 16: Weapons Rack
Day 17: Snowtrooper
Day 18: DF-9 Turret
Day 19: AT-ST
Day 20: Hoth Laser Cannon
As Jay's Brick Blog pointed out, the designers had a little bit of fun varying the traditional weapons rack design, and the snowtrooper features a person of color, always a welcome addition.
The turret and laser cannon offer playability options and are cleverly built, but it was the AT-ST mini-build that was the standout here.
While some may have been hoping for more minifigures at this point, I'm thrilled with the focus on the ice planet and the scene-building opportunities Lego is creating with these reveals.
Headed down the stretch, I'm hopeful that a surprise or too may lay in wait in the final few days of the calendar!
