LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 6: Cloud City, Bespin with Twin-Pod Cloud Car. I’m a fan of these location-based builds (plus The Empire Strikes Back material is always a hit with me).
Statuses
Hovertron
Hovertron, 1996. Small stand up hovercraft with astronaut. Two holographic stickers are used for detailing (not a big fan of stickers).
Advent IG-88’s
IG-88 2015 vs 2018. A printed head and included blaster and rifle make this year’s edition vastly superior.
Day 5: IG-88
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 5: IG-88. Everybody’s favorite robot bounty hunter!
Droid vs Droid
Spyrius vs Exploriens droids. Basically the same print only in different colors. I like the transparent head and gold on black face printing of the Exploriens droid.
Droid Scout
Droid Scout, 1996. Small flyer with droid pilot. New Space theme: Exploriens, for which this is the smallest set. I like their logo.
Day 4: Republic Fighter Tank
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 4: Republic Fighter Tank. I had to look this one up too. Apparently it’s a prequel trilogy era vehicle. Not bad. So far this calendar is jumping all over the place source material-wise.
Spyrius Minifigure Lineup
Spyrius minifigures: regular (left), chief (center), and droid (right). The chief gets a pencil-thin mustache, beard stubble, and a fancy printed helmet. I like the droid with its mechanical face and cool torso and leg printing.
Candyhouse Manor
I present Candyhouse Manor, our gingerbread house for this season. Cobbled together from gingerbread pieces to build 3 small A-frames plus whatever Haribo candies I could find in the supermarket.
Day 3: The Arrowhead
LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 3: The Arrowhead. The what? I had to look this one up. It’s from The Freemaker Adventures. Not really feeling it.
