Littlespark’s collection

[littlespark]

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but as you see from my profile, I like a bit of science fiction and Lego.... so I’m starting a thread. One official Lego set from my collection per day... should take about 6 months!


In no particular order.... I’ll start with a recent eBay purchase. Missing a few very small parts, but I’ll get them replaced soon enough.

Set 21306, starring John, Paul, George and Ringo..... and Jeremy!

I've just built the yellow Lego Technic Jeep set. That's really good.

Set 42122, mentioned by @DPG
Proposed improvements include using the spare wheel mounted on the back as steering, or a control for the winch at the front.
Almost bought a second one recently on offer from Amazon.

Day 3.

Who wouldn’t want their own Wall-E tidying up behind them?

and what do you do if you have a couple of spare hours and a remote control motor set.....

Day 4, and a 4 set bonus.
Bought from a local Facebook seller for very little, looking out for the other skyline sets.

New York, London, Paris, Peckham....
I mean, San Francisco

I've got the London one, it's a good set that.

Day 5,
and this was my first technic set as a kid. 40 years ago at least, possibly not the original parts.

Love the old technic sets. I had the car chassis set when I was a kid. In fact I've still got it now - I built it again last year. 4 cylinder boxer engine adjustable seats.

Day 6.
Wish these two were to the same scale….
I showed the Mini Cooper before on another thread, but this is it beside the classic vw camper van.

Day 7.

Set 42077, quite a large model and only just fits in the cabinet.
Many stickered pieces. Takes longer to fix the stickers straight than build the thing.

Day 8

Sets 42010 and 42011, from 2013. Pull back motors to make them move.
The pair are bought separately, but there are official instructions to combine the two of them into one dragster type vehicle.
An idea that has been repeated in subsequent years.

Day 9

Set 7965, bought from Legoland Windsor as a 40th birthday present to myself back in 2014. The classic Millennium Falcon styled from the original film A New Hope.

I have added C3PO and R2D2 to complete the crew.

“Let the Wookie win”

The upper sections open up to allow access to the deck inside. Playable features include the smugglers cargo hold, used to hide in, and the upper/lower guns….

If you’ve never seen the original film…..
