LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar (75146)

I’ve been waiting for a while to post about this but now is a good time as ever to post them since some readers do need a heads up in case they miss it later on. There are now official images of the three LEGO 2016 Advent Calendars from Amazon France and I’ll upload the descriptions when they’re available. As for the release date, if LEGO follows the same trend from previous years, they will be available on September 1. There will be spoilers below so if you’re looking forward to opening the advent calendars, I would advise you not to click the spoiler tags or read any further.

The most popular advent calendar is probably the LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar (75146) which contains 282 pieces and retails for $39.99. The offerings are from various scenes from Hoth, Naboo, and Tatooine and they seem to be decent but not great although there are some very nice builds. Most notably is the absence of a Santa-type minifigure although we have a white Chewbacca with a festive bandolier.

If you want to purchase the set, I highly suggest picking it up when it first comes out. I’ve been noticing people waiting on it and they eventually sell out and complain they didn’t get one. The Star Wars Advent Calendars have a very short shelf life and probably only has a few production runs so there is a very limited supply.

LEGO City also gets their own 2016 Advent Calendar (60133) and as usual, you get some generic offerings to add to your city or Winter Village. There are seven minifigures including the hockey players and it marks the return of some hockey sticks.
