    LEGO Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT 40806

    The Gingerbread AT-AT was a quick but fun build. It comes with a Gingerbread version of Darth Vader and the legs are also fully posable.

    This is my first AT-AT build and it would seem that it is a typical design before adding all of the Gingerbread decor. There are colorful pieces all over this thing and the side guns in the front are candy canes. It does open up with room for a driver and the sides open up to reveal a seating area with wreaths, stockings, and presents stored in the back end.

    The Gingerbread version of Darth Vader is very cool with the brown color and the icing highlights on the front and on his cape. I am not sure you want to mess with this Sith Gingerbread.

    I was surprised to see a Star Wars and Christmas mashup outside of the Advent Calendar. I am hoping we will see something like this next year to add to my collection.

    Upcoming Builds Christmas 2025

    I did a little LEGO shopping in October and also picked up some new Christmas builds. I may start with the Christmas ones first so that I can display them for the holidays. I am excited to add to my droid collection.

  • Latest Build: Haunted Mansion – 31167

    Latest Build: Haunted Mansion – 31167

    I completed the Haunted Mansion Build not to be confused with the Disney Haunted Mansion. This released in 2025, has 736 pieces including 5 Minifigures. The set is build on 3 platforms that rotate allowing you to open up the backside of the house or leave it closed. There is a ghost in the window that swivels around using a gear on the side of the house. There is also a Grandfather clock with a moving pendulum controlled by an external pin. See pictures below of some of the finer details. I really like the Monster themed mini figures including a Vampire, a Ghost that glows in the dark, a Skeleton, a Wolf man, and Frankenstein.

  • This is a public post with no title and no featured image. When I posted privately, it uses the word PRIVATE: in front of the non-existent title. I am expecting that this will display with no title. The one thing I do not like about using no title is when I view the posts page, I have no way to identify the post because they just say Untitled.

    I have also been categorizing these posts as social, but I think I might change that as I am not inviting comments.

  • The Reds found some offense today and got a much needed win. Hoping this is a sign of them getting going again.

  • Back in the office today

    Looking like good weather today. Now I just need my Reds to find some success and get the win today. Let’s play 8 and a half.

  • First Post

    Today, I am just going to create a bit of content to publish.

    I am not trying to write anything specific. I am only just beginning to design the rest of the blog. I still need a logo and a tagline to get some pieces in place. Really, I just wanted to put something out here that I created besides the generic pre-generated Hello World Post. No graphics or anything special today, just text.

    That is all for now.
