Daily Builds of LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2025

Thought to have started in Germany during the 1800s the tradition of counting down to advent has a long and varied history. It wasn’t until the end of the second world war that advent calendars like we know them (stuffed with chocolate and other goodies) became common place.

These days you find nearly anything in an advent calendar with varied prices to match! LEGO is no different. The LEGO Group has been producing LEGO Advent Calendars for nearly 30 years now – with the first one releasing in 1998.
The release of set 7958 in 2011 saw the first ever LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar and the LEGO Group have been producing one every year since.

So why not follow along with us as we update this page each day, building and commenting on that day’s LEGO Star Wars Advent build. Make sure to bookmark or save this page so you can join in every day!

First, however, an overview of the set. This year’s edition is 75418 LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar 2025. The Advent Calendar retails at £29.99 / $44.99 / €34,99 and comes with 263 pieces including 16 minifigures (13 unique).

Whilst im pleased that the LEGO Group have kept the price the same as last year – the piece count has dropped substantially from 368 to 263.

If you want to follow along 75418 LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar 2025 is currently 30% off at LEGO.com. The overall theme of this year’s advent calendar appears to be droids.

Day 1 – Babu Frik

LEGO is starting their Star Wars Advent Calendar off small this year with a Babu Frik minifigure. For those who don’t know, this adorable character is a black market droidsmith. He helps the resistance out by altering C-3PO’s programming so he can translate Sith inscriptions.

Babu is undeniably a cute figure to start with but it’s doubtful that many Star Wars fans will know who he is since he’s a Star Wars Sequels character. Plus since he’s all one piece fans don’t get the satisfaction of putting any pieces together.
Hopefully the 2nd December build is a little more involved.

Day 2 – Workbench

Day number two rewards us with a small workbench build. This simple build comes together in 13 pieces with 3 extras. Included is a printed console tile which gives the build a much needed sci-fi feel.

It’s nice to see an extra trans-clear angled bar piece as these come in handy with MOCs – especially when positioning minifigures.

The build was straightforward to assemble and the printed element is certainly doing the heavy lifting. Despite the use of gray elements, without the printed console tile, it would be hard to tell that this is a Star Wars build.

Perhaps the workbench is modeled on Babu Frik’s workshop but I couldn’t find anything in my (admittedly cursory) internet search.

Day 3 – C-3PO

Day three gives us our first droid and of course it’s C-3PO. It makes sense that he’s the first droid as not only is C-3PO one of the most famous Star Wars droids – he’s also tied to Babu Frik (Day 1)

As far as I can tell this version of C-3PO is actually unique to this set. The printing looks great, although it is a little disappointing not to see a proper dual-molded silver leg. I was surprised not to see any holiday printing / elements as typically the popular characters are a shoe-in for this.

When added to the previous days you get a small workshop scene – and a minifigure that can actually hold the yellow cup!

Day 4 – Pit Droid

Another day, another droid. Day 4 brings a mischievous Pit Droid. These droids are seen all over the Star Wars universe helping (or should that be “helping”) their owners. A notable appearance is in Episode 1 Phantom Menace, where one Pit Droid unfortunately gets sucked into Ody Mandrell podracer engine. The Pit Droid survives but ultimately Mandrell is out of the race.

The Pit Droid is definitely our most complicated build yet. There are lots of small parts that need to be slotted into others. Overall, the build is quite effective and really does resemble a little Pit Droid. The black eye-lens is great and the brown dish piece works well for the head. There were quite a few extra pieces today too.

Day 5 – Chair

After yesterday’s Pit Droid, today we have… wait for it… a chair! It’s quite a simple build and I was definitely confused at first. Luckily the artwork shows C-3PO sitting in the chair so that at least confirmed this wasn’t some super rare droid I’d never seen before.

The chair build is certainly interesting. It’s quite high and give the vibe of one of those hospital reclining chairs. I assume this is so Droids can sit in the chair and be fixed? Hopefully day 6 is more exciting.

Day 6 – Gonk Droid

Back to droids with a Gonk Droid for day 6. This is definitely the most complicated build yet as some of the pieces go behind others, and aren’t fully shown on the instructions. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable build and certainly more interesting than yesterday’s chair.

Our helpful Gonk Droid comes equipped with a broom and a spoon (which is closer to trowel sized when compared to the droid). The set also comes with an extra spoon piece which is nice to see.

Day 7 – R7-A7

Ahsoka Tano’s astromech droid makes an appearance on day 7. R7-A7 is a very striking droid and a fitting inclusion in a Star Wars Advent Calendar. His red, white, and green colour-scheme fits perfectly into the festive spirit.

Despite R7-A7’s festive colours, I’m surprised we haven’t had a clearly “festive” droid yet. From what I can find – R7-A7 appears to be the same minifigure as the one in 75401 Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor (released 2025). I’m not sure why the set designers didn’t go with a more winter / festive printing? Either way, I’m sure prequel fans will be happy to see the droid join the fun.

Day 8 – Buzz Droid

Behind day 8’s door is a brick-built Buzz Droid. The LEGO Group have tried several iterations of Buzz Droids over the years, and they always feel slightly off. Sadly this rendition is no different. Whilst the overall shape is clearly a Buzz Droid, the proportions don’t seem quite right.

The round tan elements are doing most of the work when it comes to this build. I think it’s let down by the thick stand. In the Star Wars universe Buzz Droids typically have thin robotic legs, and whilst the antenna pieces are meant to mimic this, the cone and dish pieces take away from the effect.

Day 9 – Extra Droid Parts

Does day 9 count as a build? Something to ponder in the comments. Nevertheless, the build for day 9 is a crate with extra droid parts.

There’s not too much that can be said about today’s build. It does what is set out to do – although it isn’t really a hard task. At least the colours chosen are interesting. For example, the only other place we’ve seen pearl gold droid legs is in 10350 Tudor Corner.

Day 10 – Tool Rack

At least today’s build involves putting bricks together, so it’s already a step-up from day 9. Today’s build is a tool rack. These are pretty common in Star Wars advent calendars and usually pop-up as either tool / lightsaber / blaster storage.

Overall the build is simple yet effective. The inclusion of a pearl gold crowbar definitely helps make the build more sci-fi. What’s most interesting is the inclusion of the hinge pieces. Strangely these don’t line up with the workbench build from day 2.

As you can see from the image below the tool rack and workbench hinges don’t match-up. Perhaps we’ll see another build that connects the two.

Day 11 – B2EMO

Back to droids on day 11! This is more like it. Day 11 rewards us with a brick-built B2EMO. This repurposed B2 Groundmech Salvage droid belongs to the Andor family and features often in the Andor TV show.

I think the build is very effective at representing the droid although the offset eye is an interesting choice. The yellow tile elements help break-up the red colour scheme. Overall day 11 is a good change of pace compared to the last two days.

So far we’ve had 6 droids (three of which are named characters).
