The start of December brings the countdown to Christmas, and today we open the fifth door of the LEGO Star Wars (#75340) Advent Calendar.
This is the twelfth year of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar and after last year’s single themed calendar based on The Mandalorian, we return to a mixed theme.
The fifth day of the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar brings us our first minifigure, a Battle Droid. This common figure has been in over thirty sets including several older Advent Calendars, and whilst you can never have too many, we can think of several other choices more suited to this slot.
Let us know what you think of today’s gift, and join us tomorrow for a look behind the sixth day’s door.
ICYMI: –
- Day 1 – Republic Gunship (LAAT/i)
- Day 2 – Clone Trooper Commander
- Day 3 – Droid Tri-fighter
- Day 4 – Acclamator-class Assault Ship
