Behind the door on day 12 was a snowspeeder. I can't help feeling that it's only a shadow of the original LEGO Snowspeeder but I guess that's not surprising seeing as the original costs over £100. TB hasn't cottoned on yet so I guess I've got nothing to worry about!

If day 10 brought an 'oh wow!' from TB day 11 brought a scream! This battle droid was another model he'd been eagerly awaiting. I can't help feeling he looks a bit lonely without his friends.

Day 10 brought a huge 'oh wow!' from TB. Yes, it was the Imperial Shuttle. TB took his time building this one, obsessing over every little detail down to just how the wings sat. He was none too impressed when I moved it all around to get a decent photo!

For our day 5 we actually return to what everyone else will open on day 2, Nute Gunray. Being a bit of a Lego Minifigures addict TB was rather pleased that one had finally made an appearance, although he's still desperate to find that Santa Claus Yoda. I'm not sure ...

I blame Ems for getting me hooked on bacon sarnies. Despite the fact that hideous morning sickness means that she can't eat them at the moment, I always associate bacon sarnies with her. There was always bacon in my fridge when she was staying with me. Now I'm going to ...

Today's homing spider droid was the first model that's caused TB any trouble. Of course that was because he was completely ignoring some of the pieces left on the top of the table. It's a fairly normal occurrence when TB builds Lego. My ears are usually assaulted by cries of ...
