“Constructed around a massive particle cannon and also equipped with ion guns and anti-fighter turrets, these destroyers decisively end space fleet battles with overwhelming force.” Victor K‘s description of his Conviction Crusader lets us know how menacing the ship is, but the description stops short of describing how cool the ship looks.

Nine days of calendar doors were gifted to the race of men who above all else crave small plastic toys. Nine days of commentary from our fellowship of Brothers Brick writers. And on this ninth day, what secrets are in store from Friends, Disney, City, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Spider-man? Will one gift emerge to rule them all? As ever, our intrepid TBB team is on hand with witty comments, insightful observations, and bad jokes for each day’s builds. And of course, you can add your own thoughts in the comments section each day! So without further ado, let’s crack open the build for day 9… Our first gift, courtesy of Friends, is an adorable cat tree with a grey kitten and a fishy snack. Disney finally lets it go with the inevitable Elsa. More figures in our next boxes. Harry Potter gets a Hufflepuff friend in the form of...
