This review is all about the two Advent calendars that I have been opening throughout December. Like last year, I have kept to just opening the Star Wars and City ones. There’s only so much room on the dining-table. What I have decided to do is create a two-columned-table with Star Wars on one side and City on the other. So, here we go…
75395 – Star Wars
Day One: Mini-X-Wing (The usual build that is found in calendars from previous years.)
Day Two: Christmas Jumper Leia (I always love the Christmas Jumper minifigures!)
Day Three: Mini-Tie-Fighter (This is improved from previous builds. I like the blue on it.)
Day Four: B2 Super-Battle-Droid.
Day Five: Mini AT-AT!
Day Six: Mini Y-Wing (A great assistance craft!)
Day Seven: Mini-Kit Canister. (So iconic!)
Day Eight: Mini Jabba’s Sail Barge.
Day Nine: Mini Minellium Falcon. (Solo, so small!)
Day Ten: Ahsoka Tano Minifigure!
Day Eleven: Venator-Class Destroyer.
Day Twelve: Lambda-Class Shuttle.
Day Thirteen: Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor. (That’s supposed to be in another galaxy, isn’t it? And Ahsoka, too!)
Day Fourteen: A Mandalorian Gauntlet Fighter. (This was a, puzzler at first!)
Dat Fifteen: 501st Clone Trooper.
Day Sixteen: The Ghost. (The colours confused me…and it looks too clean!)
Day Seventeen: Jedi Luke Skywalker…in a Christmas jumper.
Day Eighteen: U-Wing Rebel Fighter.
Day Nineteen: Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter.
Day Twenty: Praetorian Guard.
Day Twenty-One: Lord Vader’s Fortress.
Dat Twenty-Two: Teeny Razor Crest. (For a teeny Mando!)
Day Twenty-Three: A Land Speeder. (Just like young-Luke’s.)
Day Twenty-Four: The Crimson Firehawk. (A bit of a poor close to the Advent.)
60436 – City
Day One: Snowboarder (A kid that is ready to hit the piste!)
Day Two: Mini-Excavator (This is very toy-like. I get the feeling it should be under the tree.)
Day Three: A little doggy with a great jumper! (It’s a bit like my Brina!)
Day Four: Skateboard and Helmet. (Hot those ramps!)
Day Five: A Lady on Skis Minifigure. (Love the jumper!)
Day Six: A cool RC Boat. (What a gift!)
Day Seven: The Kitty and the Fish!

Day Ten: A Lego-Train and Controller!
Day Eleven: Baby Joey and his Bottle.
Day Eleven: A Baby’s Stroller. (Walk, anybody?)
Day Thirteen: An Ice-Skating Lady. (That ice is slippy, you be careful!)
Day Fourteen: An RC Helicopter.
Dat Fifteen: The Cuddly Bunny.
Day Sixteen: A Snowmobile. (Fun in the cold!)
Day Seventeen: Mrs. Chritmas with the Naughty and Nice List. (Which one are you on?)
