LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 16: Weapons Rack. Ugh. Well I knew this was coming sooner or later. At least it has some interesting cover for the shooter, an ammo crate, and a mouse droid with its own hole. Thumbs down though.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 15: TIE Interceptor. Yet another great ship build of the faster TIE fighters introduced in Return of the Jedi. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 14: B-Wing Fighter. An excellent (and relatively large) micro-scale representation of this Return of the Jedi starfighter. I’ve never really seen the “b” shape, but thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 13: Mustafar Sand Castle. A fun little companion build to yesterday’s Beach Vader, but it feels a little plain. It would have been much better if they’d included some crabs or a seashell. Thumbs down.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 12: Beach Vader. Beach vacation themed Darth Vader. I love the sunset Scarif Death Star scene on his top, which is reminiscent of the 90’s LEGO Paradisa theme. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 11: V-35 Landspeeder. I had to look this one up. Apparently it was on screen in A New Hope for like 2 seconds when Luke & Ben arrive in Mos Eisley. I like the sideways build technique and the color blocking. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 10: Moisture Vaporator. Well the string of good builds had to end eventually. It’s just sad and boring sitting there all alone. If they’d included Luke’s home or a little bit of desert landscape, it would have been fine. Thumbs down.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 9: Ugly Sweater C-3PO. I love the R2-D2 embroidered on the sweater. Great holiday-themed minifigure. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 8: Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper. This one is a bit obscure as only part of the ship is briefly shown during A New Hope while Luke is cleaning C-3PO. Another satisfying micro ship build. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 7: Luke’s Landspeeder. Another cool micro vehicle. I like the studs for Luke and C-3PO and the exposed engine on the left side where the cowling was removed. Should be faded red instead of tan though. Thumbs up.
