Another time of Advent, and another LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! I've gotten the calendars for a few years, and always enjoy the daily surprise. Sometimes they're kind of disappointing, most of the time they're pretty cool, and sometimes they're really exciting!
I posted the calendar to Facebook last year, and this year I thought I'd post it to my blog.
Today is the first day of Advent, so I opened the Day 1 window and got the pieces to build this:
Day 1 is a landspeeder. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell exactly what a build is supposed to be, but I'm quite certain this is supposed to be Luke's landspeeder from Episode IV.
It's really quite an efficient design and well - for only having 17 or 18 pieces, it does the trick!
And as much as I love all the Star Wars related stuff, my heart will always be for Episodes IV-VI, so getting something on Day from the very first episode is a super treat. The "playmat" that comes with the Advent Calendar box has a lot of ice and snow on it, making me think of Hoth, so hopefully we'll be seeing some Episode V goodies, too. I'd love an imperial probe droid, medical droid, an AT-AT, and/or a snowspeeder. I could look at the front of the box to get an idea of the stuff that's coming, but I don't like to do that. I prefer to be surprised. What would be really cool from Hoth would be Luke in an eviscerated Tauntaun.
Which reminds of a joke my Amazon Echo told me -
Q. What is the internal temperature of a tauntaun? [highlight the line below to see the answer]
A. Lukewarm!
Come back tomorrow to see what Day 2 offers!
