LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 6: The Marauder. AKA the Bad Batch’s attack shuttle. A nice recovery from yesterday’s stumble. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 5: Battle Droid. Great, another clanker. I hate that they depict the enemy troops of the Prequel Trilogy as buffoons played for comic relief. At least they included a blaster, so maybe tomorrow won’t be a weapons rack. Thumbs down.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 4: Acclamator-Class Assault Ship. As seen in the Battle of Geonosis in Attack of the Clones. Another great micro ship build. Thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 3: Droid Tri-Fighter. Straight out of Revenge of the Sith. Neat little trilaterally symmetric build. I like the use of the cheese slopes to pose the arms at the correct angle. Solid thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 2: Clone Trooper Commando. A nice looking trooper to go with yesterday’s gunship. They even had the decency to include a small blaster. Maybe day 3 won’t be a weapons rack.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 1: Republic Attack Gunship. I can almost hear Yoda, “to the forward command center take me”. Nice little build. I like the use of the window piece to represent the drop bay area. Strong start to the calendar, but that’s pretty typical.

It’s December. That means it’s advent calendar time! I’ll be doing the LEGO Star Wars advent calendar for a 12th year. This time shooting with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Let’s see if I make it past day 5 this year. (We also have 2 chocolate, a tea, and a beer advent calendars.)

New brown Classic Space astronaut revealed! 🤎

Of course really that was just an appetizer for this. LEGO definitely knows how to get me to part with my money this year.


Built this set today. It’s a modern remake of a 1988 Forestmen set.
