Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 24: Electro Christmas Tree

The last day-of-the-calendar Christmas tree tradition gets a Spidey polish with a Electro-themed tree. Great build that really pops, a strong finish for a solid calendar.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 24: Crimson Firehawk

A deeper cut, from the Young Jedi Adventures show (and 2024 set). I appreciate being sweeping (and the whole “honoring a year in SW Lego history each day” thing), but a letdown for the finale.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 23: Landspeeder

The 2020 calendar had a similar landspeeder build, albeit in blue and themed for S1 of Mando. This is specifically Luke’s. Love the Luke/Threepio dots.

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 23: Spider-Ham Snowman

Three year old already misplaced yesterday’s stuff (presents for the Goblin/Santa sleigh), but here’s an adorable Spider-Ham snowman for today.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 22: Razor Crest

Going back to an early Mando set from 2020, which is also when a version of this mini build appeared in that year’s advent calendar.

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 21: Santa’s Sleigh

A cute build, elevated by the fact that it seems designed to be pulled by Green Goblin’s glider.

Frohen 4. Advent!

Möge der Glühwein weiterhin stets warm, die Plätzchen immer knusprig und die restlichen Weihnachtseinkäufe überraschend stressfrei und entspannt sein!

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 21: Vader’s Castle

The first location build of the season, commemorating 2019’s Vader’s Castle set.

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 19: Goblin Glider

Gobby’s glider is better than “webs day”, but I still don’t love when they pad the calendars by punting important accessories into a separate slot.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 20: Imperial Praetorian Guard

Ostensibly meant to represent 2018’s Snoke’s Throne Room, thereby moving into the Sequel Trilogy era, this is technically a different Praetorian Guard (from the #Mandalorian).

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 18: Green Goblin

Love the little Lego pumpkin bomb.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 19: Yoda’s Starfighter

A bit of a deep cut, a vehicle that exists in that one Clone Wars arc and a Lego set. Cute build, but it doesn’t quite capture the TIE-esque split wings.

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 17: Milk, cookies and pizza.

Channeling a little TMNT vibe with the fireplace-adjacent “milk and cookies for Santa” setup.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 18: U-wing

Inspired by 2016’s #RogueOne themed U-wing set. Like the T-6 shuttle, the lack of the ship’s signature “sweeping wing” movement is both understandable and lamentable.

Marvel Lego Advent Calendar Day 16: Fireplace

Adorable little build, complete with Spidey and Miles (or Venom)-themed stockings.

Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar Day 17: Holiday Luke

Another adorable holiday sweater, complete w/Tatooine touchstones. This is a nod to those weird “use Legos to build a person” sets from 2015.

Afternoon, Twters!

Normal service has been resumed. It's still a shitty pain day, but I'm much more upbeat after a good rest.

Now, today's advent tea is a Darjeeling, which is very nice! Enjoying the flavour as a contrast to my usual ginger tea.
