9509 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar: The Dilemma

Unless you fell into the Dark Age during the night, it's impossible to miss it today: it is December 1st and the entire AFOL community shivers (or rather shuddered) at the idea of ​​discovering the content of the first case of the inevitable set 9509 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar.

My morning visit to the various sites or blogs devoted to the LEGO universe reassured me on one point: Most of them left as planned for 24 days of increasingly serious posts that will dissect in length, width and depth. through the starving contents of the plastic boxes.

I love this period during which abound the various reviews of the micro-content of this Advent Calendar where there is nothing to eat. Each blog goes there with its analysis of the five pieces of the day, and on flickr the LEGO galleries become alignments of photos taken with Instagram of the micro-thing from the box opened that same morning.

I don't know if this set should really be given so much importance. I think that I will not recede like last year to the urge to discuss the contents of this box daily. I don't marvel at these micro-vessels every morning and I prefer to say nothing than to criticize for 24 days.

Despite everything, I think I would do regular stitches, just to send a few spades to the manufacturer. In the meantime, I'm going back to my Kinder calendar. The gifts are just as shabby as in the LEGO calendar boxes, but there is chocolate.
