Day 9: STAP Speeder

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 9: STAP Speeder. Vertical hovering speeder with dual cannons. They even included a transparent brick and a green plate to simulate hovering over the Naboo grasslands. It looks better with yesterday’s battle droid piloting it (as Day 7’s Clone Command Station looks better with Day 6’s Clone Trooper occupying it). Thumbs up.

LEGO micro-build of a Star Wars Clone Wars era battle droid speeder. It's mostly brown and black and hovers above a small square of grass.
Two LEGO micro-builds: A clone commander minifigure with a long rifle sits inside a small gray protective fort on the left and a battle droid pilots a vertical hovering speeder on the right.

Days 4–6: Holiday Pit Droid, Clone Turbo Tank, 212th Clone Trooper

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Days 4–6: Holiday Pit Droid, Clone Turbo Tank, and 212th Clone Trooper. Guest photography by my son while I’m in Amsterdam. I like the orange markings on that clone trooper and appreciate the included long rifle (at least they didn’t save it for a weapons rack day). Three thumbs up.

3 LEGO micro-builds, from left-to-right: a holiday-themed pit droid, a gray clone turbo tank, and a clone trooper mini figure with orange markings.

Day 1: Omega with Sled

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 1: Omega with Sled. Omega from the Bad Batch together with a sled. It’s wintry I guess, but usually these calendars start strong with a really cool spaceship build. This, this is weak and does not bode well for this year’s calendar. At least they didn’t try to split Omega and the sled into two even lamer days. I can console myself with the offerings from my beer and chocolate advent calendars. Thumbs down.

LEGO minifigure of Omega from the Bad Batch stands in a tiny sled because the minifigures with the short legs can't even sit.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2022 in Pictures

Our twelth year of opening this LEGO advent calendar together. Obviously this is mostly about me now (and has been for years), but it’s still fun. This year’s photos were shot with an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
