Our eleventh year of opening this calendar. These were shot with an iPhone 11 Pro Max for a third year. We opened the entire calendar, but I never made it past Day 5 in photographing and posting these.

Day 5: Targets
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 5: Targets. A couple of targets to shoot at with yesterday’s snowball blaster. Worse than a weapons rack. I’m calling this as the lamest day ever in 11 years of opening these calendars with my son. Pathetic.
Day 4: E-Web Heavy Repeating Snowball Blaster
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 4: E-Web Heavy Repeating Snowball Blaster. OK, something for yesterday’s Stormtrooper to fire. I guess it’s better than a weapons rack.
Day 3: Stormtrooper
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 3: Stormtrooper. More cannon fodder is always useful, but this Stormtrooper has thrown up his arms in disgust that he wasn’t even issued a blaster to miss with. I sense a weapons rack in the coming days…
Day 2: Riot Mar’s Starfighter
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 2: Riot Mar’s Starfighter. Who the f*ck is Riot Mar? I had to look this one up. Apparently he was a bounty hunter who the Mandalorian had a dogfight with in S1E5. Together with yesterday’s ship I can recreate the scene. Yay?
Day 1: Razor Crest
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 1: The Razor Crest. Strong opening with the Mandalorian’s ship. Of course these calendars often open strong and then trail off into irrelevance. Let’s see how this year’s goes.
Pirates of Barracuda Bay
This was my Christmas gift to myself. Hits lots of nostalgia notes for me and is also just a large and interesting build. I believe this is the largest LEGO set I’ve ever had. About two-thirds of the way through building it together with my son.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2020 in Pictures
It’s kind of hard for me to believe that this was our tenth year opening this calendar. This was the second year shooting with an iPhone 11 Pro Max (still a great camera). Due to the pandemic, these were all shot entirely at home in Switzerland.
