LEGO Star Wars 2022 Advent Calendar 75340 Building Toy Set for Kids, Boys and Girls, Ages 6+, 8 Characters and 16 Mini Builds (329 Pieces)

My son has grown attached to the idea of getting a Lego advent calendar each year, so we started having to pick them from random years. This set is the best one we ever got. The remix of Darth Vader is very welcome, and some of the shapes it leads you to build are useful, like for an antenna on another base you build later. We even still have one of the little toy vehicles we play with like a drone on wheels, even though it technically doesn't roll. We have a lot of fun using these little builds in our bigger custom building builds later. This set has an ample number of figures as well, and even though I eagerly build these for him sometimes, I am convinced that my son could do these on his own if I pushed him to. I got them when he was seven.

This was a fun gift for the LEGO-loving hubby who has everything 😅! He had fun building these each day and it made Christmas even more fun!

This is the 11th year that we have purchased the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar. One for each year my oldest has been alive. On December 26, 2021 the Great Feces Armistice (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3G8B2IBMSSI6W/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B092ZYNY42) expired. True to form the relative calm we had experienced was done. I awoke to find #3 tied up with his head lying across our Polar Express train tracks under the tree. #2 had surprised him in the middle of the night and he is such a deep sleeper that she just dragged him to the living room and left him there. Her jubilation over the win was short lived, however, because before she could turn the train on #1 snatched her into a potato sack and shoved her in a closet. I did not even know we had potato sacks. I found #1 sitting in the dark by the fireplace with a bubble pipe in her mouth reading the Wall Street Journal. Not on a device, a paper copy of the Wall Street Journal from that day. After confirming with my wife that we have had a fireplace for all the years we lived in the house (thus waylaying my concerns that she started a fire) I decided to let the WSJ thing go. To this day she has not told me where she got it. #4 was still asleep, but figuratively every blanket we had in the house was on top of him. I am not entirely sure someone did not try to smother him. I ordered the 2022 calendar in early September because one year I forgot, and we almost did not get one. The kids all know about when it shows up and this year they were waiting. After trying to assert dominance throughout last year’s Christmas there has been little activity until I found them huddled around the calendar under a blanket fort that had been erected in the basement. A sign on the entrance said, “Don’t Throw Cookies.” I did not get it, but clearly this was their negotiating spot. So far, the demands are: #1 still wants eight turns. #2 wants ten turns and all the figures. #3 wants to open all the doors, seven turns, and to be able to throw a cookie in the blanket fort. #4 wants all the turns, ice cream, the PJ Mask movie, and the blanket fort converted into a pillow fort. There is a lot of carryovers here and I do not know if we can resolve the differences. So, I did what any good dad would do…I got a dog. I thought it was a good plan and for a while things had calmed down, but we are digressing again. They are starting to argue over trivial things like where we get our pizza, or what kind of cookie we should have for dessert. I am not as worried about these arguments, but the argument about who takes out the trash and recycling are starting to concern me. I am 70% positive at least one of them is building a trash catapult and it reminded me that I never found the tunnels that were on that map last year. Here is hoping for a merry Christmas. UPDATE: 12/1/22: Well, it's hit the fan. After fairly constant bickering, side taking (my parents might be getting divorced now) and some relatively light teasing I put my foot down. It hurt, and I am scheduled to see an orthopedist next week, but I said "I am supposed to the adult here and I will make the final decision. Everyone gets their six turns and since it is his first year #4 will go first!" #2 chimed in with "but if he goes first he gets the last piece too and that's the best one!" Before I could explain to this 8 year old how horribly bad her math was #3 yelled "aw shewt nah" which I presumed he learned from church. Chaos has ensued. The Christmas tree is on the ground. The dog is hiding under the trampoline. The snowman melted, which is weird because it was made of cloth. #1 is casting spells from a Descendants book. #2 has a Viking helmet on and is just charging at random things. #3 is throwing Pokemon balls at everyone. But it's #4 that worries me. He's, well, you know that look that Jack Nicholson gets when the most devious plan he could have pulled off is working? That's the look he's got. He looks like he planned all of this and now he's just sitting in a rocking chair Nicholson-ing it up with Concrete Blond's Bloodletting album playing in the background. We don't own a rocking chair so I am even more confused. I wonder how long he's been working on this? Was the Feces Armistice a ruse? I do not look forward to the next year.

Me encantó. Mi hijo estuvo feliz

My son has enjoyed receiving a Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar for the last three years. He loves opening the surprise every evening of Advent. It is a great motivator at the end of each day to get him to brush his teeth and get ready for bed! It is a quality Lego product for young kids. The vehicles and structures are simple builds with few pieces and the mini figures are fun to collect. Overall, it may feel expensive based on the brick count but the novelty makes up for that many times over.

My boys loved this! Every day was a different surprise.

I gave this to my boyfriend as an early Christmas present and he absolutely loves it! The only complaint that I have is that the cover isn’t attached very well so if you put the leftover pieces back into their compartments there is a chance of them all falling into the bottom of the box anyways. Other than that, this was a great purchase and well worth the money! It’s also great if you do them together; my boyfriend loves when I come over and get to do the Lego of the day with him.

A classic for every Christmas!
