Day 9 of the LEGO 2015 Advent Calendars gives us a festive holiday throne from City, a weapons rack with a gold blaster from Sta…. oh wait, that’s Friends, and it’s a saxophone. And Star Wars is a catapult for the Ewoks.

Day 1 brings us a Friends minidoll in a festive sweater, a micro scale Star Wars ship that I don’t recognize, and a pair of little remote control cars for City.
