LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 19: Red-nosed Tauntaun. But do you recall, the most famous tauntaun of all?
Month: December 2020
Day 18: Snowspeeder
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 18: Snowspeeder. After four days of Phantom Menace builds we get something from Empire. Nice!
Day 17: Pit Droid
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 17: Pit Droid. This cute little guy reminds me of the brick-built robots in 1980’s Space sets.
Day 16: Anakin’s Podracer
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 16: Anakin’s Podracer. At first I thought this was a poor replica of a Y-Wing, but the truth was way lamer. Now this is podracing! Meh.
Chain time
Today I switched from snowshoes to just hiking with chains because the snow is super hard now (when it’s not melting away altogether). Still pretty out here though.
Day 15: Droid Control Ship
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 15: Droid Control Ship. My son informs me that this is a Lucrehulk class battleship. It’s the thing Ani blew up at the end of Phantom Menace. It’s big and has an interesting shape— I like it.
Send even more Battle Droids!
Battle droids are a staple of the LEGO Star Wars advent calendars. They’ve appeared at least 6 times thus far over the past 10 years (2012, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020).
Day 14: Battle Droid
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 14: Battle Droid. Beloved cannon fodder of the prequel trilogy. Meh. At least they included a blaster.
Another snowshoe hike
More snowy forests and overcast skies during this morning’s snowshoe hike: 5.3km, 150m ascent, 1h40m, 0°C.
Day 13: Republic Cruiser
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 13: Republic Cruiser. My son had to identify this for me. Spaceships are always good, but I’d say this is the weakest of the lot thus far.
