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) – 4 Hit / 12 Misses
Eric (Harry Potter) – 10 Hits / 5 Misses / 1 Harry Potter
Nick (City) – 13 Hits / 3 Misses
Nick (Star Wars) – 3 Hits / 13 Misses
Ace (Star Wars)
Do we always get one of these Battle Droids ever year? I think we do. Though, I think we might get a slight variation like a different colored arm or a backpack of some kind. It’s not bad, but not thrilling either. I’m trying to like it and it is something better than the brick built mystery items we’ve been getting, but I can’t get there. Thumbs down.
Eric (Harry Potter)
“What’s this?” You may be asking. “Didn’t we get this exact same build earlier in the calendar?’
Not quite! Note the different colors, and the grille brick. Totally different. This is supposed to be a Thestral, which is a skeleton horse, but nothing about this really screams “skeleton”.
Nick (City and Stuff)
We had a little preview in my cropped picture that had been corrupted the other day. I love it, and that he came with a little gift too. Big hit.
At the very least, they could have given us a tan arm in the leftover junk build. But we don’t even get that. And no one needs more battle droids, since they’re just filler every year. Star Wars is back off track, and balance is restored.
How would you know what’s a noodle and what’s hair? Or has this dog been bred to produce noodle hair?
