The title of this strip is from a MST3k song/skit – “Merry Christmas – if that’s OK”
Today’s item follows in the usual Star Wars LEGO Advent tradition of “mini-ships.” Or, to put it another way “tiny collections of parts that almost make something recognizable for less than $0.30 worth of parts in a $40 set.”
But I’m not bitter. It’s way too early in the calendar to be bitter.
So anyway. Dooku’s Solar Sailer. I guess it’s not a bad rendition considering the part count. And LEGO did include a few extras in case you really need another 1×1 clear round brick.
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t those 1×1 round plates in trans-clear? 🙂
Although it’s not really a defence of giving you 24 days of >$1.00 in parts, I do think LEGO has become more generous over the years with the parts it considers normal to give spares for–back in the 90s, anyway, you would have have got a 2×2 radar dish extra or even a 1×1 square plate–not that I remember anyway. And these are not unuseful colours to have them in.
Hey I was wondering if you could post instructions.
I want you to make more
