So I’d said I was going to build something that used all the pieces in the advent calendar, but that turned out to be not very feasible. The models it gives you are such little things — a toolbox, a traffic light, a legless park bench — that you don’t end up with enough large foundational pieces to make anything of any size; you’d end up with just a big jumbled pile, basically.

On the flipside, though, you get a ton of little detail bits, so you can make a small or medium-sized model really intricate. I expanded and improved upon the Battlewalker I made for Santa I mean Shaggy Harold. I think it turned out pretty sweet.
