I have a bonus comic today. The idea for this one came up while I was working on the “What’s in the bag?” page. The page needed more images. What figure do I have that would search bags? a cop of course. I thought about using Chief Wiggum but he’s not intimidating. I’ve made a few minor changes to the What’s in the bag page, just rearranging a few things. See the link at the top of the blog.

It’s just days away from Christmas. Today’s advent calendar mini-fig is young Boba Fett. Soon his dad will arrive.

It is Sunday which means new content for the online game. The advent calendar code for December 22 is Y12C34 and unlocks a surprise character for the game. Click here for the game.
In blog news this December is now my third highest trafficked month ever. It might become second before Christmas. If it does I’ll post a special holiday image.

I have a new page that lists some of the apps, tricks, and websites that help you determine what is hiding in that blind bag. The link is at the top of this blog. I made a page rather than a post so it could be easier to find. If you have more tips or sites please post them on the page.
Excerpt
What’s in the Bag.
The blind bags are cool but they can be frustrating finding the figure you want. You may want just one figure from a set. You might want to collect all the figures. or you may want multiples of the same figure for army building. But how can you know what is in the bag? These Blind bags guides can help.
The best I’ve found for LEGO is the Touch Guide in the My Mini’s app. The app coats $1.99 so less than a mini-fig and its well worth it. no only does it tell you what to feel for it shows you what mini’s you might confuse with it.

Today’s Advent build is Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator.

There’s online content as well this year. With each door has a code to enter on LEGO’s SW calendar page. There’s a small animation of the model. It’s like the item building scenes from the LEGO Star Wars Games.
one a personal note my blog traffic has already passed last year December totals. and this month is now the second highest visited month in the history of the blog.
so thanks for following!

Today’s Advent mini-fig is a Rebel solider. Really neat figure from Star Wars: A New Hope. He’s one of the first characters we see in the entire saga. He has a cool large hat which, like the rebel trooper in Hoth gear, has three visors.
