So, my Santa definitely did some research in choosing what to send to me. (Or, as Santa is aware... send to "us".) The note in the box said it all.

So, a previous gift was a Lego set that my son had been really excited about, and we had a fantastic time putting together. So, my previous review was all about the great memories that my son and I made while building it.

Needless to say, my son was also excited when this box was opened. (As was I.)

For starters, this set is a great compliment to the previous set we received. (Just as our Santa indicated on the enclosed note.)

While the previous LEGO set we received via a redditgifts exchange was one my son had been wishing for every time we went to the store, this set was one with a different meaning to us.

Neither my son or I had ever seen this set. So, when we got it... not only was some of the excitement over "wow, another awesome set for us to put together and play with" but some of the excitement was "what? This exists? This is SO awesome!" If you can't tell from my picture (which my son kept holding it up so he could look at the front of the box... because he was too excited to not look at the front...) it is a set based on the carbonite freezing scene from Empire Strikes Back. So, yes. Just the concept of this is way cool.

And, it is the little things. Like, LEGO Han can be put in the block of carbonite.

Seriously, we did not know that this existed. So, just seeing it for the first time was like "WOW!"

We are saving this one for a rainy weekend day, which I am sure will come soon. I know that we will be putting this together, and then playing with the pieces for hours.

Not only is this another fantastic win from a Santa via redditgifts... but it amazes me the thought that was put into this. Thank you so much Santa! Your generosity and thoughtfulness are appreciated!
