On Day 9, we get the X-wing starfighter. It contains 24 pieces and looks similar to the movies. I love the coloring of the bricks LEGO used to make it. An easy build and a great addition to your collection.

One of the most well recognized vehicles in the Harry Potter universe comes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is the purple triple-decker bus known as the Knight Bus. It comes with 281 pieces and is recommended for ages 7-12. Retail price on this is set is $34.99 at the LEGO Store. Nothing too spectacular with the box, the front showing off an action scene and the back showing all the things included in this set. There is also an shot of how the the levels of the bus can be taken off. More on that a little later.
For Day 8 of the advent calendar, we get a nice looking Rebel Pilot minifig. After a little inspection, it appears the minifig is of Zev Senesca. It’s the same as the one in the Hoth Wampa Cave (8089)
set as well as the Rebel Trooper Battle Pack (8083). The only difference is the helmet in this set is all white compared to the other sets where it has gray markings. A very nice figure to add to your collection after a disappointing Day 7.
On Day 7 of the LEGO Star Wars 2011 Advent Calendar, we get a simple tools rack. Yes, a tools rack. It consists of 9 pieces and it is nothing more than a hammer and a wrench in a barrel and what appears to be a bowcaster attached to the side. I must say that out of all the things in the Star Wars universe, a tools rack is just disappointing. Oh well, let’s hope Day 8 isn’t as disappointing…
The first set that I purchased since being addicted to LEGO again is the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon. My first impressions on just holding the box was “Wow!” The box art is pretty amazing and I especially like the blue tones LEGO used. The retail price for this set is $139.99. This set contains 1254 pieces and is recommended for ages 9-14. The box contains two instruction booklets and 15 bags that are numbered 1-6 and one unnumbered bag.
For Day 6 of the Star Wars Advent Calendar, we have none other than our furry friend, Chewbacca. There’s nothing much to this minifig but the normal 5 pieces you can find in other sets including the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (7965).
On Day 5 we get the best item so far in the Star Wars Advent Calendar, the Slave I. It is an absolutely amazing miniset and very accurate to the movies. It takes 20 pieces to make and is a little tricky but once you look at it, you’ll go “Ohhh!!”. This one of my favorites so far and we’re only 5 days into it.
