Man those are old :D

I can imagine they could be worth more than one would initially think.
Can’t be that old, I got them when I was a kid.  :whistle:

day 6 is a little...meh in my opinion. :-\  At least in it's "out the box" configuration.  Much improved with an improvised stand so as to display it in a better attitude.





I had to check as to what exact type of TIE it is and found it's a "Sith" fighter from the fleet at the end of the most recent film.

To go with the Sith TIE Fighter from yesterday we have a Sith Trooper.  This one is well trained enough to take some cover.  ;)

Ah, this is better.  After loving the A-Wing and then being disappointed with the TIE I think we're on a strong return to form with this excellent X-Wing.

Oops. Spoiler alert :rofl:

I always open mine in the evening after work.

My Millennium Falcon is the first version they ever made.
Compared to the ultimate collector's edition (saw one in a display about a month ago) mine is the size of an escape pod...
Having 2 calendars, it might turn out that social distance can not be maintained in it :ahhh

Day 11 from the 2018 calendar should get me Rowan. And therefore, my first lego light saber :D
Something kiddo-me always wanted back 20 years ago...
And now still :facepalm:

Ooops, sorry mate! My daughter is the main driving force behind the calendar (though I love taking part in it too).  The idea that it remains closed until after school is just never going to fly.  We have trouble enough making her eat breakfast before she dives in.

Cheers Mechy.  :D

I totally forgot to post a pic yesterday so you'll just have to accept a two for one today.  A very nicely printed Rey yesterday and a very festive D-0 today.  I'm sorry to say I'm a little down on D-0.  In the final film it's just shoehorned in there for no reason other than to add another cute Droid to sell.  :shrug:



I'm also fairly certain that over the years the box art has shown more and more spoilers.  Could also be that I'm feeling grumpy this morning.  :D

Wow, this makes up for any simple builds we've had so far!  For a calendar I can't think I've ever seen so many bits in one day.  If you need me to tell you what this is then you're looking in the wrong thread.  :D

A calendar??
Discounted?
More like woefully inflated :/

The 2020 one is being offered on our secondhand website for double the original sale price whereas other years are still around the same.

By the way, Gareth, you're almost missing today... :pok:

Before I forget to post a pic again.  I like a mini-fig well enough but it's the clever interpretations of the vehicles that I always find the most fun and this one is no exception.  It's "the one that Obi Wan and Qui Gonn use in the first prequel that gets blown up" or, a Republic Cruiser, which is a little more snappy.

Another vessel for us today; a Droid Army Control Ship or "the one that child Anakin accentually blow up" .  That scene still really annoys me if I'm honest.  Anyway; another solid build for day 15.  :tu:

So; a blue podracer?  I think? :shrug:  A slightly low-fi build this one IMO.  One that, a few years ago would have been par for the course, now stands out as being a bit too simple.  So simple that I'll admit I could be looking at it completely wrongly and it's actually some kind of Capital Battle Cruiser.
