Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar

Hmmnn. I'll want it for the pieces, but I wonder if I can sell my GF on it. She does like advent calendars...

When are these normally made available?

While an all OT or all CW Calender would have been preferable, I'm not too upset at the fact that its mixed. What I dont like about the calendar is the choice of mini spacecraft, I know they appeal to alot of people, but not me.

I prefered the style of the 2010 Kingdoms set where you got for example: The blacksmith, an anvil, a forge, armor rack and a weapon rack, making a little scene. Or the barmaid, with her table, pot, and (unfortunately for him) a pig for roasting.

September/October or so.

Looks good, my boys will want it. Wonder what they will change since it say Preliminary on it.

I hope its the minifigs that change. Chewie is fine but I already have a few, I don't mind the clone pilot but its not exciting, Yoda Santa is pretty funny but not a selling point for me, Nute Gunray, really? Why? and a battle droid is only like 1/2 a minifig, IMO. I hope Nute gets switched out all together, and we get more, rarer, minifigs to make the price worth it. Like a Cody or Rex, a Cad Bane, Boba Fett, Lando, Rebel Commando, an Ewok (other than Paploo), I am sure there are better examples and I wouldn't expect to get all exclusive/rare figs but gimme 2-3 at least. The micro ships are cute, but if we only got these 5 minifigs and 19 micro ships, I would be disappointed, especially for $40 give or take.

How do they figure 8 minifigs? I know of only 5. Does anyone know what ones they added?

Not sure that's better. Hope that they are changing the contents as well. :)

8 minifigures and 16 mini models... hmmm I hope that christmas tree is not one of the 16 mini models.
