I am expecting one more model from The Three Broomsticks today, although hopefully one that improves upon the rather underwhelming table provided yesterday.
There is ample material to draw upon, after all...

Our Friends menagerie is now up to six, with the addition of Zac's pug from yesterday with his festive glasses. As we hit the homestretch of the calendar, what festive builds will we find for the last few days?

LEGO replicas of real-life objects seem to do rather well on the Ideas platform, and 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera is the latest one to make it through to production.
Unlike most of the others, though, this one is virtually life-sized and such an accurate reproduction that from a distance it looks just like the real thing.

LEGO has announced that the first 2023 LEGO Ideas review results will be published tomorrow, 19th December, at 2pm GMT / 9am EST.
A whopping 71 projects were considered. Some are 'more of the same', some cover subjects that have recently been made into sets, but there are some truly spectacular and original ones among them that stand a chance of being selected, including the Humpback whale and ET poster.
View them after the break, then make your predictions in the comments.

Many LEGO set designers use our BrickLists feature to maintain a list of the sets they've worked on and often provide interesting insights about their involvement.
Once a week we publish an entry from one of their lists on the home page to increase awareness of this information and to encourage more designers to create them.
Rok Zgalin Kobe wrote this about their work on 10276 Colosseum:
I knew I would be designing the Colosseum eventually! I set the scale of the model to the original façade. I felt that the LEGO model should convey a special architectural feature of the original – the rows of columns in different styles, flanking the arches. I went on building just the outer wall of the Colosseum, and that is how it was presented at our internal selection event; two freestanding curved walls on a board. Its scale has remained completely unchanged since. But it managed to capture the imagination, and the model was greenlighted to the second stage selection process. At this point, the model changed hands for a while; our master designer Mike Psiaki built the 2nd concept model and played a crucial part in devising the connection principle using ball cups. His model on a hexagonal baseplate made it through another selection funnel, `after it was again entrusted to me for finalization.
Together with Charlotte Neidhardt we started on a challenge of making such a model buildable from the instructions, where our Building Instruction experience specialist Martin Højen Holm Buk always fund an elegant solution to even the trickiest assemblies and co-created the journey of the building experience. But the work isn’t over when we have the completed model; we began elevating the overall experience together with Petur Ellefsen, Art Director with a passion for beauty and style. There is a lot of complexity involved in various processes across the organization, you can imagine that a lot of my colleagues had to work extra hard – from creating a monster bill of material to solving the record number of bags in packaging.

76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull focuses on display value and makes an interesting change from the action-oriented Jurassic World sets we have seen before. The model certainly appears impressive in official images, capturing superb detail and therefore realism.
Moreover, the price of £34.99, $39.99 or €39.99 should go some distance to satisfying the clear demand for smaller and more affordable sets which appeal to teenage and adult LEGO fans.
