This Christmas season see’s this first time an Advent Calendar has been released for the Disney Parks Droid Factory line, packaged in a beautiful box depicting a Sandcrawler decked out in Christmas lights and decorations. 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. On this artwork are 25 little windows to open, as you would expect from an advent calendar.
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 6 new droids to celebrate along with them for 25 days this season! May the Force be with you … and your Droids!”
Strangely in what I assume is some kind of error it also includes the copy text for this year’s Disney Parks Holiday Droid, R6-SN0.
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. Four of the bags include two parts, so be careful not to accidentally throw any parts away with the bags.
This pack was available at Disney Parks, the ShopDisney and ShopDisney UK websites and also at Disney Store London.
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….
