This is an epic fail by LEGO, even more so than the Star Wars advent calendar.
Star Wars sell, Non0city Advent sells I don't see this as a mistep.

Unlike say The Star Wars Maquette Figures, the Darth Maul Bust, Th Lightsaber Duel, or the Twilight
I got my older son the Twilight off ebay for Christmas. It was a fun build and he loves it.

Pretentious git.
The designer of the model, Adam Reed Tucker, said: “As an architectural artist my desire is to capture the essence of a particular architectural landmark in its pure sculptural form. I don’t view my models as literal replicas, but rather my own artistic interpretations through the use of LEGO bricks as a medium"


I think you are correct, pretentious git indeed.
