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.
Statuses
2nd tree
Decorated a second Christmas tree (to go with our aluminum one) because why not?
Advent Snowspeeders
Yesterday’s snowspeeder vs the one from 2014. I might prefer the older model; at least it had engines.
Day 19: Red-nosed Tauntaun
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 19: Red-nosed Tauntaun. But do you recall, the most famous tauntaun of all?
Day 18: Snowspeeder
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 18: Snowspeeder. After four days of Phantom Menace builds we get something from Empire. Nice!
Day 17: Pit Droid
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.
Day 16: Anakin’s Podracer
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.
Chain time
Today I switched from snowshoes to just hiking with chains because the snow is super hard now (when it’s not melting away altogether). Still pretty out here though.
Day 15: Droid Control Ship
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 15: Droid Control Ship. My son informs me that this is a Lucrehulk class battleship. It’s the thing Ani blew up at the end of Phantom Menace. It’s big and has an interesting shape— I like it.
Send even more Battle Droids!
Battle droids are a staple of the LEGO Star Wars advent calendars. They’ve appeared at least 6 times thus far over the past 10 years (2012, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020).
