Fourth

It must be getting closer to Christmas because it's another entry in the Lego Star Wars advent calendar and it snowed.  I left work yesterday and it was a blizzard outside.  I went on break about 3:30 pm and it was all fine outside and then I left at 5 pm and it was crazy outside.  It was snowing big fat heavy snowflakes plus the wind was blowing pretty hard, so when you went outside you were getting smacked in the face with huge snowflakes.  It snowed about 5 or six inches overnight, but the weather finally cleared up this afternoon.  Of course the snow does nothing to deter people from shopping.  Don't they have anything better to do?

December 4th wasn't any kinder in terms of weather or Lego calendar toys.  Today revealed yet another vehicle from the newer Star Wars saga.


I have no idea what it's called, but it's some Separatist Army thing from the Clone Wars.  I think you can drive one and blow up stuff in the Star Wars Battlefront game on the Geonosis level.  The front of the box of the advent calendar shows A-Wings and Tie Fighters and I want to know when I get to put those together!


More left over pieces.  Am I even doing this right?!

They give you spares expecting you to swallow at least a few parts..

It used to be super nerdie to know the names of the ships, and why b-wings sucked so bad.. now it just looks like they made a bunch of junk up and said,"oh, this one's from the new movie..."

B-Wings had lots of fire power, but were too slow. They were good against transports and Tie Bombers, but couldn't dogfight against faster ships. Right Cam? SW: X-Wing FTW!!
