So another year, and mostly the same format: Ace handling Star Wars, Eric looking at Harry Potter, and in a shocking turn of events, Nick not having to deal with a Marvel calendar dedicated to causing physical pain – he’ll be handling City this year because while his kids may be into Minecraft he decidedly is not (and also that thing was impossible to find in his area). As always, there will be some extra special bonuses, a lot of cheeky writing, tons of typos and things we miss that someone will demand we go and hire an editor to fix.
We will not do that.
Ace (Star Wars) – 5 Hit / 15 Misses
Eric (Harry Potter) – 12 Hits / 6 Misses / 1 Harry Potter
Nick (City) – 16 Hits / 4 Misses
Nick (Star Wars) – 4 Hits / 16 Misses
Ace (Star Wars)
I think this is supposed to be a Imperial Probe Droid. More like Imperial Toddler Droid amirite? But allow me to try my best Comic Book Guy impression. Ahem:
Even if I’m wrong, I had more fun making this meme than I did building that mechanical Big Mac.
Eric (Harry Potter)
I truly have no opinion on this build. I looked at it for a long while, hopping I’d have some kind of opinion on it…but I really don’t. It’s fine. It’s like the perfect true neutral of this calendar.
Nick (City and Stuff)
Solid Mrs. Claus addition, I have no complaints.
Apparently AI has come to LEGO, because that’s the only way that I can explain this wet turd of a probe droid. This is a prompt that said “make me a probe droid that looks like it was made with some knock off blocks” and then some poor builder had to go and make it work with actual parts. That or someone confused the top of a probe droid with an interrogation droid, or maybe they haven’t ever seen Star Wars and only saw *Batteries Not Included as a kid, but their parents told them it was Star Wars.
Anyone one else ever ponder why artificial banana flavor doesn’t actually taste anything like banana, but we all just sort of accept that as banana? Is it because it’s yellow? Seriously, this is something we should probably address at some point.
