Just Saying 7

Xmas and Solstice came and went yet again. i got myself some more LEGO sets and Santa got me another one. Pictured below (poorly) are these sets (Not pictured: a LEGO Classic set with functions/gears (posted on intimating post) and a small similar set i got for free when ordering Himeji Castle.)

i could use more space. Too bad Santa Claus yet again forsook me. Could have used that new 2,500+ sq ft house.

The theme this year was smaller sets. There is a Sonic the Hedgehog set (wanted the Tails minifigure and the plane) 

An Indiana Jones set (the airplane and the car) i got for Solstice and another one i got from Santa (Escape from the Lost Tomb, a scene i didn't immediately recognize from Raiders). Wish there were a Temple of Doom set (one of the lunchboxes i had in elementary school, also Pac-Man, Return of the Jedi, maybe an E.T. and some blue plastic one i can't remember).

Strongly suspect the third 2023 (no 2024 sets) LEGO Indiana Jones set (Temple of the Golden Idol) will make an appearance in next year's list (if it takes that long). A bashful Singe (from Dragon's Lair) and my Echo Dot (used mainly for streaming radio) make an unscheduled appearance. Did i mention i hate stickers (though i have done worse with them in the past)?

X-Wing Fighter is one of my earliest Xmas present memories. i partially remember getting up and opening my gift. It was a Kenner X-Wing fighter that had annoying decals (i think it might have been the battled damaged 1982 version). i hate decals/stickers

i remember to get the wings to X, you had to push down on R2D2. This version is different. Push the back behind R2D2 and hope it temporarily works. i partially bought this set with a years old gift card i wanted to finally get rid of.
