I think the value for the price is great. I'm not sure what the negative reviews are talking about. After buying many legos over the past few years, I have learned that individual lego minifigures can go for up to $5/EACH or even more in some cases! So to get 24 separate mini models/minifigures for this price is actually a sweet deal.
The toys/items are so small they should be a choking hazard...completed! Worthless piece of JUNK!!!
The price is rediculious......seriously......more over priced than wireless phones. I can't see paying 60 bucks for this flimsy worthless, the wind can blow away, piece of junk. I adore Star Wars but this piece of junk is such a waste of money that's better spent on a good video game you could get years of enjoyment out of for the same price.
Seriously.......what JUNK!!!
Last year we had the lego city advent calendar and this was much more Christmasy (if that is a word) and each day the little lego kit was fun and different.
I hope lego comes out with a new advent for 2012!
Overall, I feel this set is decent, especially if you can get it at its list price of $39.99. There are 8 minifigures - the Lego jackpot from my son's point of view - which include Chewbacca, Nute Gunray, R2Q5, Zev Senesca, a Tie Pilot, a Clone Pilot, a Battle Droid, and Yoda all dressed up in a Santa suit. The rest of the 10-20 piece mini sets build a fleet of tiny Star Wars ships, a handful of droids, weapons and tools rack, and yes, a token Christmas tree.
While there is nothing really wrong with this set, I don't think that it's quite as spectacular as the Pirates, Castle, and Kingdoms Lego Advent Calendars released in previous years. Those sets had a lot of exclusive minifigures and unusual accessories, and you could lay everything out together to make a little themed Lego adventure, whereas this set is just a hodge podge of everything Star Wars. If you've got a huge Star Wars fan, I'd still recommend it. But if not, I'd suggest looking at Lego's other 2011 Advent Calendar, LEGO LEGO® City Advent Calendar 7553 , a cops-and-robbers themed set that starts out at least $5 cheaper and gives you just as many days of building fun.
I know there were some complaints that the vehicles weren't recognizable, but I beg to differ. My son, mom, and I knew exactly what each item was (except one) as soon as it was built. I thought the Millennium Falcon was totally awesome. I could hardly believe they could make it completely recognizable with so few parts.
Since there are only numbers on the doors, this gift is reusable every year if you desire. The doors are just thin cardboard so if you plan to display it, or keep it, you will need to take care when opening it. One of our boxes was pretty beat up by Christmas, but my oldest kept his very neat and tidy, so it can be done.
I would really only recommend this for a true Star Wars fan of at least 7 or 8. Casual fans probably aren't going to recognize some of the people, or vehicles used from the movies, and cartoon series, and younger fans are probably going to be too impatient with the box and the directions.
But for what it is, I was truly impressed, and can't wait to see what theme Lego does next year.
