Purchased LEGO Star Wars: Advent Calendar for the kids and myself this Calendar is a few hundreds miles away from a £2. 50 chocolate calendar and slightly more healthy. OK the price is quite high for 24 small sets/figures, but it is much more exciting to find whats inside the window each morning. The contents also last for many years and can be combined with other Lego to enhance a collection. I've already seen what you get in this collection but am keeping it a surprise for the kids to enjoy at the run up to Xmas. Also if the box and contents are kept in good condition it will become another collectors set for the antiques roadshow of the future :)

This LEGO Star Wars: Advent Calendar is a great alternative to the traditional calendar, it's like having a kinder surprise everyday! It may seem a little bit on the pricey side for an advent calendar but you are getting a lot for your money. There's 24 LEGO characters that your child will have fun building each day, rather than just another chocolate. For an extra surprise I have opened the box and added chocolate into each of the windows ready for December. I'm not sure who will be more excited opening the windows, myself, or my partner's son!

There are some great things in life like the smell of cut grass, hot baking bread, Penguins huddling, Chanel No 9 but some things get the emotions stirring like nothing else on the planet. For me Star Wars is the greatest film (Empire wins every day) franchise of all time that stirs youthful excitement. So to combine Stars Wars and Lego in one neat package is always excellent but to give you a treat every day that doesn't make you fat is something special. Bring on the 1st December.

I got this LEGO Star Wars: Advent Calendar for my 5 year old son last year and therefore the new edition was a must have for this year. I'm not sure who was more excited to open it each day on the run up to christmas, my son or my husband! My son needed help putting the LEGO together but he enjoyed doing this with his dad. Each figure has amazing detail on them. Don't hesitate to buy this as it's well worth the money and I have no doubt that they will sell out on the run up to Christmas.
