I set my expectations low for Door #3. I’m old enough to know that every day cannot be met with robotic snow creatures and sword-wielding youngsters. I’ve lived a life. I’ve learned much. The real world is a harsh, painful place. Going into Day 3, I was prepared to be rewarded with a single Lego brick that the company would call “Christmas Fun Block!” And I would have been satisfied with that, because even if your Lego Calendar gives you crap one day, it only means something grand is waiting for you tomorrow.

Luckily, Day 3 wasn’t a total washout. In fact, I was happily surprised. What lived behind the third door? Take a guess before you read on. (Hint: It’s not a skateboard ramp.)

I lied. It’s a skateboard ramp.

The ramp is pretty basic, but you can see what they were going for in its design. Plus, it comes with a skateboard, so I’m pretty sure it’s a skateboard ramp and not a “railing-equipped bridge.” Along with the skateboard, you get a helmet and an extra set of wheels. I only have Sword Boy and Robot Snowman, and since Robot Snowman is too proud and proper to be seen on such a reckless and childish vehicle, Sword Boy gets to hop on the board and shred this ramp.

You’ll notice that Sword Boy isn’t wearing the helmet, and instead he appears to be mocking it. That’s because a child who has two swords wouldn’t be caught dead in a helmet and if you asked him to wear the protective gear he would laugh and say, “Gotta die someday.” Then he would use one sword to kill his enemy and the other sword to summon lightning.

Am I thinking about these Lego things too much? Shut up.

Day 3 Rating: 2.9 out of 4 (Points deducted because the extra wheels tasted funny)

Check back tomorrow for Day 4!
