My son adores this set and has been really creative with it in designing various fight scenes. We had a 2012 advent calendar and so far there is just one repeat: Star Destroyer. With this set, he can now create even bigger intergalactic environments for them!
We are a big fan of LEGO and Mr K is capable of building it himself, though now and again, he does require my help. I do love building LEGO and have been spotted on occasion hiding away to build it myself! I do think that this set is overpriced but I will definitely get it again this year when it is on sale.
Recently, we had also review the LEGO High speed police chase set and we even made up our storyline, do check it out.
If your children love Lego Star Wars, then you should read The Brick Castle‘s post where there is a competition for children to design their own dream LEGO Star Wars bedroom. Do check them out.
Disclosure: We received the sample for the purposes of writing this review, however, all thoughts and opinions remain our own.
I was going to buy this but wasn’t sure about value for money. Will definately get one next year. It looks great.
We haven’t had any Lego Advent calenders before but it looks great, quite a lot included. I might buy one when december comes around again
I love this set, and know my son would too. the vehicles look extra cute mini like this and I might have to invest this year.
These are really great, the perfect build up to Christmas for every Lego fan.
