Merry Advent Calendar!

Day 5: Place to Sit While You Lace Up Your Skates

I will admit that at first, I thought this was a skate rental. But when a certain party told me it was a "Place to Sit While You Lace Up Your Skates," I saw what they meant.

Although there's not any rare parts, it's a nice build and color scheme. Seeing as Door 4 has skates, Door 1 must be the owner of these skates. Does that mean that this is one, long continuing theme?

On to the comic:

A cat on a mech. Freaky.

You note Door 1 agrees with me!

And Johnny Thunder (a.k.a. the Red Knight) finally gets a major speaking part!

Day 4: Ice Skater

Lego is still going strong in its Christmas theming with Ice Skater! He has a head only seen in one set before now, a helmet, a scarf, a white turtleneck.. oh, he's great!

Back to the comic:

Note: Lego has put new Atlantis, Power Miners, Space Police, and Racers (including a set called "Bad") on Lego Shop at Home!

Day 3: Sled

Although small, with no rare parts, this was a good bit of building. A little sled for Pepper. How Christmassy!

And the Robot Snowman Lord still menaces the calendar:

The calendar itself retaliates! Is this the end of the Robot Snowman Lord?

Day 2: Robot Snowman Lord

Today we have a cute little snowman. He comes with a few nice parts (top hat, scarf, white head, broom.) His shape does seem a bit.. square. And what's with the black and light grey bits?

Perhaps those are metal parts! And he's the Robot Snowman Lord!

On to the comic:

This is a wild plot turn! Only Day 2, and already Team Lego is menaced by a dastardly Advent Calendar evil: the Robot Snowman Lord! Can they survive till Santa arrives?

Day 1: Pepper Roni (Winter Attire) and Snowball-Bots

Yes, that's old Pepper from Xtreme Sports. I never could get a Pepper Roni head, so I'm glad to have this guy. His little blue sweater and bicycle helmet are nice too (but why would one need a helmet when one is throwing snowballs?) The snowballs are very common bits, though, and the legs aren't anything rare (though I do like dark blue parts.)

Perhaps those are attacking snowball bots meant to destroy him! That's a good reason to have a helmet! Protection!

Extra parts: 1 snowball. He's only meant to have three.

Now to check on the Lego Team:

Cold. Really cold. I put a promotion for another webcomic and I get accused of plagiarism?! If they hadn't said that, I wouldn't have dropped snowballs on them!
