The Brick Miser: Advent Calendar 2018: Mega Construx Despicable Me 3: Day 21

Day 21: Sled














 On the 21st day of Christmas, my calendar gave to me, this sled! ...Doesn't quite flow, lyrically. I'll think about rewriting it.

Surprisingly, we're not given the other present today! Instead, we have this blue plank with a handle and a rubber rope for Minions to use to ride down a hill! ...And hopefully right into the side of a barn! ...That's the only way they'll ever hit one...














So, no surprise, we have another VERY basic model made with only 4 pieces that only barely resembles what it's supposed to. ...But it does come with this custom piece of a rubber rope, so that's something! ...I'm reaching.














Still, I guess it's something the Minions can actually use! Just slip the cord around them, find a steep enough hill, and watch them slalom through the trees! For additional hilarity, make sure they're asleep at the time!

Overall, this model is basically what the rest of the calendar has given us. It's a very simple micro model that only barely resembles what it's supposed to be. I can't even work up that much disgust for these gifts anymore... Still, I guess it works the way it's supposed to, and the Minions can use it. ...Which is more than can be said for most of the stuff we've gotten!

Alright, people! We're in the homestretch! Three more days of gifts! Will they turn things around?! ...At this point, what do you think?
