Yoda

Today is Santa Yoda.

And a quick shot of all of the items.

Christmas Tree

today I have no link, Its a Christmas Tree.

A-Wing

A-wing

The Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy

The Millennium Falcon !!!

On a side note, I got a new iPhone 4s and have to say the pictures look a lot better. Also, loving the trailer for The Hobbit, to bad we have to wait a full year. At least we'll have more hype in that LEGO got the license for LotR, so we'll get some sets from the older movies and these new ones right around release, I'll be happy as long as we get a game like the other licenses.  Also in LEGO news it looks like I get to do this again as they are going to have another SW Advent Calender.

Twin Ion Engines

Today we have a TIE Fighter to go with the pilot yesterday.

Another Two-fer

so I have another two-fer. Yesterday I wasn't able to load Wookiepedia to get the links, but no problems today. On with the show....

Yesterday was a Y-wing.

And today is a TIE Pilot Minifig

Weapons rack

Weapons rack
 

Clone Pilot

Today we have a Clone Trooper Pilot in Phase I armor

Jumping all over now

Today we have a LAAT Gunship though the gunship part is not readily apparent in this mini form.

My personal favorite

Today we have the really just a sight gag, Mouse Droid. I don't know why, but this has always been my favorite, and I think that Robot Chicken hit it on the head, when they had a mouse driving it. I also remember being fascinated when I saw a replica one the R2 builders made at Celebration 4.

Good day

Today is a good day, the plumbing issue from Sunday is fixed, thereby meaning that I won't have to put off a purchase I was waiting for, that was under threat of having to hold off even longer if there was a plumber bill. although that could have ended up not as bad as I feared as well.

As for today's entry in the SW LEGO advent calender is a droid with the designation of R2-Q5. Had to look quite a bit to find what he was, searching both the wookiepedia, that I link to, and brickapedia as well. Sure enough I did find that he was part of the calender.

2 for 1

Due to a backed up sink didn't really have time to post yesterday, so you get a 2 for 1 post today.

Entry 11 from yesterday is a B1 Battle Droid first seen in Ep. 1. Another set and the LEGO Star Wars Video Games have the ones with the blue coloring as Pilot Battle Droid.

And today's entry is a T-47 Airspeeder, seen as a snowspeeder in Episode 5. Again showing that we are no longer grouping by movie.

No Pattern Anymore

So the LEGOs no longer have a pattern, it was looking like they were grouped by movie, but with today's entry I am no longer thing so. Today is a Lambda class Shuttle seen most often in Return of the Jedi.

Iconic Ship

Today is the X-wing Starfighter. Goes well with the Pilot from yesterday. I like the blue round block for R2.

Could be Luke, but I think Generic Pilot

As the title says today's minifig could be Luke Skywalker, but with the blank Helmet I am thinking it's a generic Rebel Pilot.

Though this shot almost has a Porkins look to it, without the beard.

Huh?

So I have no idea what today's LEGO Advent entry is. It looks like a weapons/tool rack of some kind, but I can't place it. Post a comment if you have any ideas.

Everyone's Favorite Wookiee

Today is a minifig of the mighty Chewbacca.


The pics are not the greatest, not that they have been, or that I expected perfection, but for some reason I couldn't get this one right. So, Sorry about all that. Anyway, here is the pic.

Entry 5

Today's Advent entry is Slave I. It looks like its more the Original Trilogy deco, but it was first introduced timeline wise in Episode II, so it does work so far in keeping with that grouping by movie that we have been getting so far.

Todays Entry

Today is easier to figure out, and looks like we are getting into Episode II. Again we get some extra pieces, but we have a Spider Droid

Quick Post

Busy day today, so a quick post from my iPod. Will try to format and add links later.

Today's advent entry keeps up the Episode I theme with what looks to be a Droideka. My oldest son Lucas put this together, though I did have to adjust the claw like feet to point the right way.



















Edit:  still not sure if that's what its supposed to be, since it doesn't have the guns or the fold out type head. But if it's not that, then what is it?

After further input, and research I have to admit it looks more like the Mechno-chair but still from Ep. I

Happy Birthday Kyle!!!

Today is our youngest son, Kyle's 2nd Birthday. As it is the 2nd it means it also his Golden Birthday. So, Happy Birthday to Kyle!!!!


Today's entry from the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calender is a mini-fig of the Clone Wars version of Nute Gunray.

Also found (read cleaned up a spot that was outrageously cluttered) a place to use the display.

Star Wars Advent Calender

So I bought the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar a while back.

In an attempt to post every day I decided to do a post on each days item.

It has a nice display, but to keep out of reach of little hands I will just each set on the bookshelf in the background there. I am opening all the doors, I don't need to have the package intact. I will try to find instructions through LEGO's site or if someone has scanned them on another site that I can't think of the name at this time. We got a City calender a few years back and that is how I have the instructions for that one.

And here is where I get geeky. It is a Consular Class Cruiser first seen in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. As you can see it has a few extra pieces, but that happens with those single post items in almost every other LEGO set I have ever gotten.
