If you (or your) Lego Maniac is also a Star Wars fan, well there is no question; this is the Advent calendar they must have. If you are trying to save a little money, and want something just a little more Christmas, you might try the City Advent calendar (LEGO LEGO® City Advent Calendar 7553).
This is the special Lego Advent calendar. Each year Lego releases a standard Advent calendar; recently it has been part of the City series of kits. Typically, that calendar is in great supply. The second calendar is usually done in more limited quantities, and I believe this Star Wars calendar is just that kit. If this is a popular set and it sells out, the vulture resellers will arrive and the price will go way up - MSRP is $40.
There isn't much very Christmas about this set. It is essentially 24 different little Star Wars figures or vehicles. The most Christmas in here is a Yoda dressed up like Santa (good have you been?). On the other hand, the play and repeat play value of this set is fantastic. All those little figures can fight and make all kinds of really cool noises (you know the kind from your mouth, bzzzzzz, pew pew, bam - there are no electronics that make noise).
The box is the same size as previous years. The cardboard is not very rugged; it's pretty standard Lego box issue. I've posted some pictures of the box and tray. It's possible some of the doors will get torn when opening them. I imagine if somebody was really careful, they could put the toys back and save it for next year. But then they'd miss out on a year of playing with the toys.
Every Lego Maniac will love this calendar. Even though my boys are much older now, we've enjoyed these sets for the past bunch of years. Heck, Dad gets a big kick out of the daily opening and building.
Pew pew pew.

My family has been buying Lego Advent Calendar for at least 10 years. Recent editions include mini figures and a few accessories or tools/weapons as a mini-set for one day, it is still fun. My kids especially love the clever modeling using just a few bricks.
Lego in the last few years had released 2 types of advent calendars every year, one is the city and another of a different theme (castle-2008, pirates-2009, kingdoms-2010). This is the first year of Star Wars Advent Calendar and there will probably not be another Star Wars one for another 3-4 years. I'm getting a few sets (at the retail price of $39.99) for my own family and to give away as we have quite a few mini figures fans among our families and friends. This is a good gift because it is not constrained to December or 2011. With my first child, we opened our advent calendar in the middle of summer when he was 3 years old, when he was learning to count and learning delayed gratification. We counted the pieces of Lego every day and the number of "windows" we had opened. And he remembered well that "one window a day" meant exactly that and stopped whining to open all the windows after the first 3 days.
Overall, a good set and highly recommended. Anything Star Wars is marked up so, yes SW Advent is $5 more expensive than the City version. Also SW Advent has 30+ more pieces than the City one.

Lego Advent Calendar
The item was not quite what I was expecting. My son loves Legos. He wishes there were more mini figures than ships. He loves to use his imagination for the figures.

This advent calendar from Lego is filled with many unique characters and accessories. A collector could open one door each day for a whole month.

My 7 year old absolutely loved this. He could assemble by himself, though there were a few that were difficult to identify.
