LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 10: Moisture Vaporator. Well the string of good builds had to end eventually. It’s just sad and boring sitting there all alone. If they’d included Luke’s home or a little bit of desert landscape, it would have been fine. Thumbs down.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 9: Ugly Sweater C-3PO. I love the R2-D2 embroidered on the sweater. Great holiday-themed minifigure. Thumbs up.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 8: Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper. This one is a bit obscure as only part of the ship is briefly shown during A New Hope while Luke is cleaning C-3PO. Another satisfying micro ship build. Thumbs up.
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 7: Luke’s Landspeeder. Another cool micro vehicle. I like the studs for Luke and C-3PO and the exposed engine on the left side where the cowling was removed. Should be faded red instead of tan though. Thumbs up.
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.
And of course one of our cats wasted no time curling up on the tree skirt and falling asleep.
We set up our vintage aluminum Christmas tree today, but this year with Hue lights. Still playing with the colors and effects.
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.
