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.
Advent Porgs
Advent Porgs 2019 vs 2020. At least last year’s Santa Porg came with a hat and a present.
