This Christmas season see’s the second Advent Calendar that has been released for the Disney Parks Droid Factory line, the first being in 2022. Packaged in a beautiful box depicting a Sandcrawler decked out in Christmas lights and decorations. This is the same box from 2022, but in different colours. This year being a light gray colour, instead of the brown colour typically used for Sandcrawlers. If you slide the Star Wars Droid Factory logoed slip band off, you can lift up the flap of the Sandcrawler to reveal stunning artwork depicting festive scenes going off inside, involving Jawa’s and droids. The slip band is green this year opposed to the red slip band used in 2022, but the artwork of the internal Sandcrawler is the same as 2022. On this artwork are 25 little windows to open, as you would expect from an advent calendar. [gallery link="file" size="large" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="168409,168410,168411,168412,168413,168414,168415,168416,168417"] The copy text on the back of the box says “All different types of droids populate the Star Wars Galaxy. Each droid has their own unique personality and colors. Open up the Sandcrawler to reveal and build 7 new droids to celebrate along with them for 25 days this season! May the Force be with you … and your Droids!”. Which again, is the same copy text from 2022, but with 7 droids, instead of 6. [gallery link="file" size="large" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="168418,168419,168420,168421,168422,168423,168424,"] Unlike the 2022 calendar, this year's calendar does show you on the back of the box which droids are included in the, except for one mystery droid only shown in a black silhouette, though it is clear from the silhouette what type of droid this is. I do think this takes away from some of the fun and mystery of opening the windows each day. If you want to keep the box mint without opening the windows, you can cut the tape on the side and slide out the tray with all the parts. Behind each window there is a little red poly-bag with the Star Wars Droid Factory logo on, that contains the droid part(s) for that day. Some of the bags include multiple-parts, so be careful not to accidentally throw any parts away with the bags. This pack is now available on ShopDisney UK. It was briefly available on ShopDisney US, and expected to return soon, and also at selected Disney Park locations throughout the holiday season. BEWARE, CHRISTMAS SPOILERS AHEAD You may be ready to buy the set and not want to know what parts you get on each day, so if that’s the case, look away now…. The Advent Calendar builds to following seven droids: [gallery link="file" size="large" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="168425,168426,168427,168428,168429,168430,168431"] • R2 gingerbread droid • BB-8 snowman • R1 holiday bell • Gonk present • B2EMO present • D-0 Holiday • Chopper penguin 1st Drinks Tray and dispenser accessory 2nd R-Series #1 Side Leg 3rd R-Series #1 Side Leg 4th R-Series #1 R2 Dome and Centre Leg 5th R-Series #1 Body 6th BB-Series Body Side 7th BB-Series Centre Ball 8th BB-Series Body Side 9th BB-Series Dome 10th BB-Series Hat and Scarf Accessory 11th R1-Series Bottom and Stand 12th R1-Series Dome and Body 13th GNK-Series Legs x2 14th GNK-Series Body Bottom Half 15th GNK-Series Body Top Half 16th Santa Hat Accessory 17th B2-Series Body 18th B2-Series Legs x2 19th B2-Series Legs x2 20th D-0 Droid 21st Wreath Accessory 22nd C-Series Body 23rd C-Series Right Leg 24th C-Series Left Leg 25th C-Series C1 Dome, Arms and Centre Wheel (note: unlike previous C1 droids in the Droid Factory line, there is no antenna included for the dome, and the arms are also extremely loose fitting).
