75184 Star Wars<\/a>: TIE Striker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Star Wars<\/a> Advent Calendars love to use new ships and vehicles from movies recently released. Rogue One: A Star Wars<\/a> Story technically came out last year, but\u00a0as it was\u00a0released in December any models based on the movie were bumped to this year’s calendar. Like many of the mini-models, this is another example of fine execution using standard parts.<\/p>\n

60155 City<\/a>: Christmas tree<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas trees are\u00a0consistently included in\u00a0 LEGO<\/a> advent calendars on both the City<\/a> and Friends<\/a> sides of the aisle. In spite of that it still amazes me how regularly the LEGO<\/a> Group messes up the top of these evergreens\u00a0\u2013 they have literally done it better themselves and\u00a0(spoiler alert)\u00a0tomorrow Friends<\/a> will do it better. There are a variety of pieces that can top these trees in a realistic fashion but this is not one of them.\u00a0This is a poorly executed\u00a0build.

41326 Friends<\/a>: The Sleigh Train Continues\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thankfully the trend of these sleigh train cars getting smaller has reversed and this is the most useful wagon built thus far. Brown bars are great to have in abundance, and not just for practice lightsaber blades or magic wands.
