LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 23: Darth Vader’s Castle on Mustafar. Comes with a tiny TIE bomber. Nothing says “happy holidays” like such a den of evil.

Advent Troopers

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 22: Stormtrooper. Both Stormtrooper and Sithtrooper minifigs in the same advent calendar? More cannon fodder is always good but this feels a bit lazy.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 21: Gonk Droid Snowman. Silly and cute, thumbs up.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 20: Hoth Shield Generators. Three Empire builds in a row! I’m usually a fan of the micro scale location builds and always a fan of ESB material, but this feels a little sparse.

Yesterday’s snowspeeder vs the one from 2014. I might prefer the older model; at least it had engines.


LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 19: Red-nosed Tauntaun. But do you recall, the most famous tauntaun of all?

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 18: Snowspeeder. After four days of Phantom Menace builds we get something from Empire. Nice!

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.

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.
