    7958: Star Wars Advent Calendar
    Star Wars/Seasonal, 2011
    More details...
    ©2011 LEGO Group

    7958 Star Wars Advent Calendar is now listed online at ToysRUs.com. It's currently marked as "out of stock for shipping" but "available in stores". If it follows the pattern of recent newly released sets (Star Wars, Red Cargo Train), then it should be available for shipping soon. An interesting conflict to this is that brickset member BothSidesOfTheBrick called a local Northern CA Toys R Us store and was told that the set would not be available in stores and will only be sold online. As we well know, customer service is often misinformed, so if you happen to find it in a local store, let us know!

    Thanks to BothSidesOfTheBrick for the heads up!

Hah... $40USD... not surprised. 8 figures included? I hope they are not counting Droids

I think they are counting the droids.

You can see images of the builds at: https://exoneit.de/default.asp?ex=shop:produktedetail.asp&Artikel_id=102990&kat_id=1340 under additional photos. There are 8 minifigures, of which one is a droid.

There was a spot for them at my Toys"R"Us. No sign of them though.

2 of the 8 are doids. One astromech and one Trade Federation droid.

Ah! The mystery of Yoda's race is solved... he is an elf. I do not think we are going to see the set much cheaper unless there is a bogo TRU sale. I never see the advent calendars at an other of my local retail stores.

Yeah, not impressed.. MAYBE if they go on clearance but I have a feeling they will not and sell out..
Ill save my money for a Kingdom's calendar (if they make one for this year)

We definitely like this and will be buying several copies once they come out. The only other advent calendar that we've heard of is a City one, but it'd be cool if they make another Kingdoms, which is our favorite theme.

TRU in Columbus OH had a spot (no sets) and the LEGO store there said they are coming soon. Both were also out of the Unimog.

Its been on the Smyth's Toys website for about two weeks now: http://www.toys.ie/Shop_Product_List.aspx?Profile=Euro&query=LEGO+Star+Wars+2011+Advent+Calendar
still unavailable obviously, and about €10 dearer than previous lego calendars
