Star Wars Advent Calendar 2020

The Star Wars Advent Calendar 2020 spreads the galaxy across 24 doors, each hiding a small vehicle, prop or one of eleven minifigures that build up into a festive diorama over the course of December. At 311 pieces, it isn't one large model but a collection of small daily builds, giving it more minifigures for its size than most sets in the Star Wars range.

Description

Twenty-four doors, small builds

Rather than one continuous model, the calendar is made up of many mini-builds hidden behind individual doors: small vehicles, equipment pieces and festively themed Star Wars characters. Spreading 311 pieces across 24 days keeps each daily build compact, which also makes it manageable for younger builders working through it door by door. The parts list on this page shows how those pieces are distributed across the many small assemblies, which is genuinely useful for a set made up of this many separate objects.

Eleven minifigures from the galaxy

With eleven minifigures, this calendar sits well above what you'd expect from a roughly 300-piece set, and that's exactly why Star Wars advent calendars are popular with collectors. They often include figures in festive variants or colour combinations that never appear in standalone sets, making individual doors worth checking against a want list. Anyone hunting for a specific figure or part can use the parts list here to see what's included before deciding whether to track down the set.

Colours and display

Light bluish grey, white, dark bluish grey and dark red dominate the palette, echoing the wintry and military scenes familiar from the films. Once every door is open, the small builds generally arrange into one connected diorama scene, though each piece also stands on its own as a shelf display. For fans keeping the calendar beyond December, it's worth checking the parts list for special elements that carry over neatly into other Star Wars builds.

Getting through December

Because each door contains a self-contained element, the calendar can be opened over several days without earlier builds getting in the way or needing to be taken apart again. Families with more than one Star Wars fan can also split the doors between them and bring the full scene together once December is over. Since every build uses standard LEGO elements rather than anything calendar-specific, the pieces carry over easily into other builds afterwards instead of sitting unused once the last door is opened.
