Advent Calendar: The X-Wing of the unknown pilot ...

LEGO has decidedly tried to achieve consistency in the different stages of this Advent Calendar. After Nute Gunray and his Mechno Chair, Chewbacca and his tools, here is the X-Wing of the pilot of yesterday.

We have already had mini or X-Wing microphones in the past with the sets 4484 X-Wing Fighter & TIE Advanced (2003) 6963 X-wing Fighter (2004) et 30051 X-wing Fighter (2010)

The one in this Advent Calendar obviously does not compare with the model in set 30051 (see below), but it is still very fair for a micro model. For lack of anything better, you can always recover the lightsaber handles to replace those you lost during your last move ... In short, you will have understood it, nothing to get carried away today with this vessel that has just the merit of raising the level of this Calendar a little.

In addition, I told myself that this type of set would make sense if in the end, LEGO offered a model to build with all the parts of the different models. In this case, I would be more inclined to agree to compromise on the design of the mini craft or ships and I would have a little more understanding for their very basic design. We are in 2011 and the world of toys is full of products, each more original than the next. You won't be mad at me for not marveling at this type of mini-stuff ....

On the other hand, this Advent Calendar undoubtedly appeals to the youngest, curious to discover every day what is hidden in the numbered boxes. But my 8 year old son moves on a few seconds after discovering these gifts some of which are barely on par with those found in Kinder eggs ... Only minifigs find favor in his eyes and I do not. don't blame ...
