\"\"<\/a>The more I look at Robot Snowman, the more I love him. And after today, he is even better, so I\u2019m raising his score to a solid 3.5 out of 4. No, Cynthia the Sausage Girl did not live behind door #2. I\u2019m OK with that. In fact, had she been Day 2\u2019s prize, I would have probably thrown out the rest of the calendar, because what\u2019s the point? After you get a Sausage Girl, there\u2019s nothing else to care about.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s item is another home run. I don\u2019t quite know how this fits into the world I\u2019m creating on my desk, but I\u2019m glad it\u2019s there. Are you ready? Are you scared? You should be. Day #2 is\u2026<\/p>\n

Sword Boy! <\/p>\n

Before this month, I was never the world\u2019s biggest Lego Fan. In my entire life, I\u2019ve spent about $7 on Legos. So forgive my naivet\u00e9, but I didn\u2019t know Lego people had children. The Lego Children are smaller than Lego Adults. They have shorter legs, and the legs don\u2019t bend at the waist\u2026just like real children. <\/p>\n

Sword Boy comes with not just one sword, not just two swords, but THREE FREAKING SWORDS! He also comes with a bonus hat, because the makers of Legos knew that if they included four swords, the world would drown in a sea of pure energy. <\/p>\n

The bad news is that Sword Boy only has two hands. What should I do with the other sword? Robot Snowman, prepare to be weaponized! Also, you\u2019re getting a new red hat, Robot Snowman. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robot Snowman and Sword Boy stand proudly on my desk, just waiting to be joined by tomorrow\u2019s Lego prize. It\u2019s only been two days, and already this is my favorite December of the year! <\/p>\n

Day 2 Rating<\/strong>: 3.6 out of 4 (Points deducted for not having eleven swords)<\/p>\n

Check back tomorrow. <\/p>\n
