Nine minifigs in an advent calendar for forty bucks — that's the whole story. The micro builds are hit-or-miss, but the character roster alone makes this one of the stronger holiday drops Star Wars has put out.
Is the price fair?A+Nine minifigs at forty dollars is a flat-out win for the format.
Will you love it?C+Charming as a daily ritual; less satisfying if you tear through all 24 doors at once.
Holds its value?A-Retired advent calendars with strong minifig rosters tend to hold — this one follows the pattern.
The Full Take
The 2019 Star Wars Advent Calendar stacks up nine minifigs across 24 doors, which is a genuinely impressive haul for the format. Highlights like the Snowtrooper and Holiday Special Chewbacca give it real character, even if some of the micro vehicle builds feel like filler padding out the back half. At $39.99, it's hard to argue with the math when you're getting this many characters in one box. The build experience is light by design — this is a calendar, not a set, so the daily ritual is the point. Display potential is modest; the micro builds don't cohere into a single shelf-worthy scene, but the minifigs slot nicely into any Star Wars collection. As a seasonal buy it punches above its weight, and the retired value trajectory reflects that.
