Day 17 of the LEGO City and Star Wars Advent Calendars for 2011.
Today we get the rest of the police car in the City calendar. It’s just a pile of loose parts pretty much, like yesterday, until it’s placed on the car-in-progress. I don’t really like this approach, as it feels like LEGO is trying to cheat us out of having as many builds as we would if each one were standalone. And it’s not even that good of a car. I’d rather pay $5 more for the calendar and have complete builds in each day.
On the Star Wars side, we get a display rack for Star Wars weapons. I am guessing this must be for the Star Wars fans to keep their collectible models from the movies. The wiki page (SPOILER ALERT) just says “Weapons Rack” so that doesn’t really tell us anything.
You sure you’re not putting that back end part on backwards? It seems to me that the brake light should be at the very back and the roll bar right behind the seat.
I agree it makes a lot more sense that way, but I did it the way the box said to. Strange, huh?
