This will be quick because I need to print, cut, and make 70 instruction booklets for Power Pencils.
Every Power Pencil comes with an instruction book that explains the rules, history, etc. of that particular pencil. I love writing/drawing them. I hate putting them together. I’m a one-man operation right now, because my intern vanished in a mystical portal he created via Power Pencils. Let this be a lesson: If you give your intern magic pencils, they will use them to vanish via portals.
Isn’t “via” a weird word? Seems like an unfinished word, as if there’s more to it but we all got lazy. Maybe it’s short for viavavooom! I hope it is.
The point beings: I do all the Power Pencil work myself. For the next 8 hours, I’ll be printing, cutting, stapling, packing, shipping, and listening to awful Christmas music on iTunes Radio, because I’m the only person beside Taylor Swift who doesn’t use Spotify.
And if you still haven’t ordered your set of Power Pencils, or your forgot what Power Pencils are, here’s a rundown of our holiday deals and sets.
Now let’s focus on Star Wars and Christmas!
Today’s item is great. It is…
A Snowtrooper!
Snowtroopers are my favorite type of Stormtrooper. I love their hoods and winter garb. Some folks like Biker Scouts, some like Sandtroopers, some like regular Stormtroopers, no one likes Clone Troopers. But me? I’m a Snowtrooper guy. Always have been. They look like robotic ghosts. That’s why.
AND NOW I OWN ONE! His name is Vance Tyson. His nickname is “Snowy.” His favorite food is grilled cheese with extra crust.
Huck and Warren were happy to meet their new friend.
Then it was revealed that Vance doesn’t have a face!
Warren passed out from the shock. Huck tried to be polite by not mentioning it. He said, “So…um. Nice boots?” This only made things more obvious.
Luckily, Vance laughed, and turned his head around to reveal he does, in fact, have a face. A happy face! (And Huck and Vance became Hat Brothers, a thing that happens often in these Lego Calendars.)
True story: I didn’t think Vance had a face either until I was finished taking photos. When I was putting him on my shelf, he fell over and then I saw it. It was a Christmas miracle.
And then everyone celebrated by having a push-up tournament. (Warren invented his own type of push-up called the “Bird Grabber.” He was quickly eliminated.)
Day 8 Rating: 3.8 out of 5 (Points added for being a Snowtrooper and even more points added for having a secret face.)
Avengers Calendar Day 8
Hulk hand! And on Christmas day, I can use the plastic from this calendar to make interesting ice cubes that have the subtle taste of budget chocolate.
You can buy Power Pencils.
