Yesterday‘s advent reveals were a mixed bag with HP coming out on top. I too liked the small Christmas tree Eric got. But let’s see where things land.
It just occurred to me we should keep a tally of winners and stinkers and see which calendar is best when we reach Christmas. So here’s the tally based on the comments:

I haven’t purchased Collectible Minifigs in a few years, so maybe this axe appeared with one of those, but it’s new to me, and it’s gorgeous. That being said, you would not use an axe like that to split wood… you want a much thicker head, typically called a splitting axe. This is more of a fire axe, which can double as a pick (thus the back of the head). Still, a good accessory and simple parts.
[…] Literally the exact same build as Day 5, but I can’t help but be into this more, since I now realize that this is part of a whole, as […]
