Okay, we're up to date now, here's the seventh and eighth models for each calendar:

So, on the seventh of december, we get what is possibly the coolest model yet: an RC fire truck with a remote. At first I was thinking it was a kind of stupid looking car, but then I realized it was a firetruck and was awed. Kind of. It's a pretty cool little thing, I think. And today we get (brace yourselves) another brick wall. But this time with skis! Now the only thing I don't get is why does a fire hall (I assume that's what the walls are) have skis? We shall never know.

For Star Wars, we get two especially cool little ships; a Naboo starfighter on the seventh and an episode one Vulture droid that can actually switch from flight to walker mode. I'm pretty thrilled with these, they're nice in terms of detail and aesthetics (for being so small). My only problem is, aside from the star destroyer, every one of the kits has been naboo-related. =/

Personally, I'm quite happy the Star Wars advent calendar has so much Episode I content. Episode I doesn't get nearly enough respect IMO. Yes, it was very different than the original trilogy, but I like the way the prequel trilogy transitioned from arguably a more innocent age of the universe into the gritty, chaotic universe of the OT.

My main problem is the acting. It somehow turned a bunch of big-time actors into b-movie stars. :P

 

Other than thr I have no problem with it though; the ships are awesome. I just think this calendar should've done better to cover all the episodes.
