LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026: All Seven Mini-Builds Explained

The minifigures get most of the attention in any LEGO Advent Calendar, but the 2026 Star Wars set, 75456, also packs seven confirmed mini-build vehicles into its 24 doors. Between the figures and the builds, this calendar leans harder into recognizable Mandalorian-era ships than most past years.

Each build is small by design, these are Advent Calendar-scale versions, not full sets, but every one is drawn directly from a specific, recognizable moment in The Mandalorian rather than being a generic filler ship.

Knowing exactly which seven vehicles are in the set helps set expectations before opening day one. It also clarifies a common point of confusion: some sources describe this calendar as having eight vehicle builds, but LEGO's own official listing confirms seven.

This guide covers all seven, plus a couple of the notable non-vehicle mini-builds that round out the set alongside them.

Mando's N-1 Starfighter

The N-1 Starfighter is one of the more recognizable ships tied to The Mandalorian's more recent chapters, and its inclusion here gives the calendar an immediate, instantly identifiable build early in the lineup.

As a mini-build, it's scaled down considerably from any full-size N-1 Starfighter set, but the silhouette and color scheme are kept intact enough to read clearly on a shelf next to the calendar's other builds.

The Razor Crest

Mando's original ship from the show's first seasons, the Razor Crest, remains one of the most requested builds in any Mandalorian-themed LEGO release, and it's confirmed as part of this year's calendar.

Its inclusion alongside the newer N-1 Starfighter gives the set a build spanning both the earlier and more recent chapters of the show, rather than leaning entirely on one era's ships.

The Speeder Bike and Sandcrawler

A speeder bike and a Sandcrawler round out two of the more classic Star Wars vehicle silhouettes included in the set. The Sandcrawler in particular ties directly back to the Jawa minifigure also included in this year's calendar.

Pairing the Sandcrawler build with the Jawa figure is a small but deliberate design choice, giving that minifigure an actual vehicle to be displayed alongside rather than standing alone.

The Outland TIE Fighter and Imperial Light Cruiser

On the Imperial side, the calendar includes an Outland TIE Fighter and an Imperial Light Cruiser, both tying back to Moff Gideon's presence in the set. These two builds give the Imperial faction real representation among the mini-builds, not just through the antagonist's minifigure alone.

Together, the TIE Fighter and Light Cruiser balance out the more hero-aligned builds like the Razor Crest and N-1 Starfighter, giving the full set a mix of allegiances rather than an entirely one-sided vehicle lineup.

The Festive X-wing

Closing out the confirmed vehicle list is an X-wing finished in festive colors specifically for this release. It's one of the more overtly holiday-themed pieces in the entire calendar, standing out from the more muted, in-universe color schemes used on the other six builds.

As with the Pit Droid figure covered in EVORETRO's companion minifigures guide, the festive X-wing's seasonal color treatment is unique to this calendar and not something available in a standard Star Wars set.

The Non-Vehicle Mini-Builds Worth Knowing About

Beyond the seven vehicles, the calendar also includes several smaller non-vehicle builds: three accessory tables covering beskar, gifts, and Moff Gideon's personal items, a weapons rack, a Mandalorian gauntlet, and Grogu's hoverpram. None of these are full vehicles, but they add meaningful detail to the display once everything is assembled.

Grogu's hoverpram in particular is worth calling out, since it gives the set's most recognizable character his own dedicated small build rather than just a minifigure sitting on a shelf.

How the Builds Pair With the Set's Minifigures

None of these seven vehicles exist in isolation from the calendar's minifigure lineup, covered in EVORETRO's companion guide. The Sandcrawler pairs with the Jawa, the Outland TIE Fighter and Imperial Light Cruiser pair with Moff Gideon, and the Razor Crest and N-1 Starfighter both naturally display alongside Mando and Grogu.

Keeping those pairings in mind when arranging a finished display turns seven separate small builds into a set of coherent scenes rather than a row of disconnected models. It's a detail worth planning for before the first door is even opened, since rearranging after the fact means untangling pieces that may already be assembled.

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the calendar includes eight vehicle builds instead of the confirmed seven
  • Overlooking that the Sandcrawler and Jawa minifigure are meant to be displayed together
  • Treating the accessory tables and weapons rack as vehicle builds rather than smaller detail pieces
  • Losing track of which build came from which door once several are opened out of order
