Unboxing the Smuggler’s Bounty Star Wars 40th Anniversary Box

I am a subscriber to the Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty box from Funko and this month’s box was the 40th Anniversary box. I’ve read a bunch of reviews of this and people are really harsh about it. There were five items in the box. There was the usual patch and pin, a giant Funko piece, wristbands and a set of salt and pepper shakers. The thing that people were most complained about was that there was nothing for Princess Leia in the box. There easily could have been a Princess Leia patch or pin included. I personally missed seeing one of those pages that tells me what is coming next time. I like it because it talks about the items in the box. Having that not included bummed me out. Sure I would have loved to have a shirt instead of wristbands, that is a given. I always want T-Shirts. I would have loved a re-creation of the iconic poster for Star Wars: A New Hope made into a T-Shirt using Funko figures. Well, here is what is in the box, I liked it but it could have been better.

Eva’s Trip to The Little Red Schoolhouse

Little Red Schoolhouse
Photo-A-Day #4405

Today Eva had a field trip to The Little Red Schoolhouse. This has been a trip that kids at her school have been doing for years. I went there when I was a kid, too. All the kids dress up from colonial times and they bring their lunches in baskets and things like that. She even had us make bone in chicken breasts the night before so her lunch could be more authentic. She’s definitely our kid.

Today I attempted a DIY project but it got stopped because I destroyed a portion that was needed. So, I had to put it on hold to go and get a special part. I’ll continue the project tomorrow. It is for a blog post coming next month.

I got a couple more Marvel LEGO sets recently to continue my collection of Marvel sets. I’ve got all the Guardians and am having a good time making these sets. We were going to build one of the sets during Built from Bricks but instead we worked on a fun stop motion, they take a long time to do.

Speaking of time. I did not have time today to make another stop motion or build of a set and instead today’s post is about a new organizational system that Eva is using for her LEGO pieces. Check it out below.
