LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar

If you, or someone you love, is a fan of Star Wars, or LEGO toys, then you will absolutely love the 2011 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calender.

Similar to the ones released in previous years, this fun advent calendar features 24 different Star Wars LEGO characters or vehicles. For 2011, this LEGO set includes an exclusive Yoda figure dressed as Santa Claus. Other popular characters that come with this calendar include Chewbacca, Nute Gunray, and even a Clone Pilot.

I must admit that I am a huge fan of anything that involves Star Wars. When I was 11 years old, my grandmother took me to see The Empire Strikes Back and, since that moment, I have been absolutely hooked. I bet I have watched each of the movies more than one hundred times. Obsessed much?

Regardless of my apparent obsession, there are millions of people just like me across the globe. If you have a son or daughter that loves Star Wars as much as I do, or LEGOs for that matter, then this newly released LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar would be just about the best Christmas gift you could find.

This amazing toy is sure to be popular amongst the Star Wars collectors as well. It comes complete with 266 pieces; including 8 mini figures. If you have ever tried to buy any of these mini figures on eBay, then you know how expensive they can be!

This set was designed with 24 windows so that you can open, with your children, one window each day from December 1st all the way through December 24th; just like a Christian advent calendar. That is, however, about all it has in common with Christmas; unless you count Yoda dressed like Santa.

Furthermore, the pieces included in the set are extremely small. You definitely do not want small children to get ahold of them since they are a choking hazzard.

Each year, LEGO releases a number of different advent calendars. A few of the more popular sets include:

• City Advent Calendar
• Pirates Advent Calendar
• Caste Advent Calendar
• Star Wars Advent Calendar
