The Minikit from the video games has finally been released in real life. The Minikit first appeared 19 years ago in 2005's as a collectible item and became a mainstay in the series' future titles. There were 10 hidden Minikits in each level — and 60 per Episode — that could form a miniature LEGO recreation of an iconic ship once players had acquired them all, with using them as a way to unlock extra playable characters as well.
Players can use studs to purchase a " " Red Brick to help them find the remaining collectibles upon Free-roam playthroughs.
While it's relatively simple to recreate a Minikit using only a few pieces of LEGO, and many fans have undoubtedly done so over the years, the newly revealed Advent Calendar does feature an official version. Over the past few years, LEGO has released several branded Advent calendars from the, Marvel, and IPs, as well as its own and collections, each with an array of miniature builds and exclusive minifigures, and this year will see the arrival of a further Disney Princess calendar as well.
The Advent Calendar in particular is a special one this year as it celebrates 25 years of LEGO's partnership with the IP. Alongside the aforementioned video games' Minikit, there are 17 further mini-builds in the Advent calendar taken from different eras of the franchise. These include fan-favorite ships such as X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and AT-ATs, as well as a Mandalorian Gauntlet, Darth Vader's Castle, and The Crimson Firehawk.
There are also 5 collectible minifigures, with Luke Skywalker sporting a festive sweater that matches his green lightsaber, and Princess Leia wearing a blue sweater depicting the Battle of Hoth. Alongside these are less festive figures, but ones that should please the fandom nonetheless, such as Ahsoka Tano, complete with her dual white lightsabers, which first appeared in, and an additional, buildable Super Battle Droid.
