Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016

The 2016 LEGO® Star Wars Advent Calendar counts down to Christmas with 24 doors, each hiding a small vehicle, scene or minifigure from the Star Wars universe. With 282 pieces and ten minifigures, it packs an unusually high figure count for its size. Every door opens onto its own mini build, spreading the set across the whole of December rather than one sitting.

What can I build with it?

Description

Twenty-four doors, twenty-four builds

Instead of one connected model, the calendar is split into 24 small builds, one behind each door. What's hidden ranges from miniature vehicles to small scenes and minifigures, often with a wintery or tongue-in-cheek Star Wars twist. That structure turns the set into a December ritual: rather than being built in one go, it grows a little every day, setting it apart from most other Star Wars sets. That variety keeps the calendar unpredictable from one day to the next, which is part of the appeal for repeat openings.

Ten minifigures from the Star Wars cast

With ten minifigures, this calendar sits among the more figure-dense sets around this size — well above what 282 pieces would normally suggest. The figures are drawn from familiar Star Wars characters and are mostly revealed one at a time behind the doors. That makes the calendar appealing to collectors chasing specific minifigures without buying a larger set built around them. Opening the whole calendar ultimately leaves you with a small, self-contained set of figures to display together.

Colours and part variety

The colour palette stays deliberately restrained: white, light and dark bluish grey and black dominate, matching the practical, technical look of many Star Wars vehicles. With 128 unique elements, the calendar covers a surprisingly wide range of shapes despite its piecemeal structure. The full parts list on this page shows which colours and elements are in play, even if which door hides what stays a surprise. That makes the calendar feel more varied overall than the raw piece count alone would suggest.

Who the calendar suits

This advent calendar is aimed at Star Wars fans who enjoy small, daily building sessions rather than one large project. At 282 pieces the total build stays modest, but spreading it across 24 days makes it approachable for younger builders too. For collectors, it's also a way to add several Star Wars characters to a minifigure collection without buying multiple separate sets. It also makes a popular festive gift, largely thanks to the daily surprise built into the format.
