After some stellar and unexpected mini-builds arrived in the first five days of the "Star Wars" Lego advent calendar, the designers upped the ante in the next five days of reveals.
Day 6: "Havoc Marauder"
Day 7: Luke's Landspeeder
Day 8: T-16 Skyhopper
Day 9: C-3PO
Day 10: Moisture Farm Evaporator
The "Bad Batch" shuttle led the way on Day 6, a nod to the Clone Force 99 crew that has captured the hearts of so many. The "Havoc Marauder" was beautifully designed and a welcome continued homage to the Clone Wars.
The theme shifted to Tattooine in subsequent days, with a niftily done landspeeder (complete with tan and white bricks to represent Luke and C-3PO) followed by a completely unexpected T-16 Skyhopper for the nostalgia lovers.
The next day featured a holiday C-3PO, complete with a blue Christmas sweater with R2-D2 on the front. The second five days concluded with a forgettable moisture farm evaporator -- well rendered and certainly in line with a Tattooine emphasis, but a bit of a throwaway in the spirit of a weapons rack (which has yet to make its annual appearance).
For me, the "Havoc Marauder" and the T-16 Skyhopper were the highlights for the second week. Thanks as always to Jay's Brick Blog for the insights and guidance where needed, and here's to hoping the next five days bring even more surprises.
