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.)

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.

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.

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…

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?

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.
