The Brick Miser: Advent Calendar 2018: Mega Construx Despicable Me 3: Day 6

Day 6: Phonograph














And here we are at the fifth day in a row we've received a musical accessory! ...At least it's not an instrument this time. ...I guess if you're a DJ, you could use it as one...














Actually, to be honest, this is my favorite(or at least tied for favorite with the guitar) accessory we've gotten so far. There's a beauty to how simple the design is, yet how I can instantly tell what it is! ...Which, if you're too young to know, this is a phonograph. ...Which was an early record player. ...Which was an early 8-track player. ...Which was an early cassette player. ...Which was an early CD player. ...Which was an early MP3 player. ...Which was an early iPod. ...Which was an early iPhone. ...Which was an early Spotify. ...Which was an early-














I like how antiquated this thing is, yet how well it can fit in a residential setting. It just looks like a piece of furniture someone picked up at a yard sale for $50 to keep it tucked away in a corner just to add some ambiance to the living room. If you're ever building a room in Lego, and it looks too bland, shove one of these in there and watch as the atmosphere instantly gains a rustic charm! As well as rust!














 The cone is obviously a reused megaphone accessory, meaning it's two accessories in one! Now a Minion can give anyone sitting on the toilet the scare of their life! ...Most efficient way to clean out one's bowels!














Overall, I find myself REALLY liking this present, and consider it one of the best things out of this calendar. Now I can get my minifigures together and have a dance party 'til Christmas!

Alright! A fun, creative prop that gave me something to work with and something I can use for other projects! ...But it's ANOTHER music-themed accessory! Why are we getting all the musical paraphernalia all at once?! ...Well, if the front of the box is any indication, we only have one more. Will it appear tomorrow? Place yer bets!
