Littlespark’s collection

[littlespark]

Another from same box. Set 8210, motorbike.
Nothing too technical apart from rear suspension.

Saw these today and thought of you (that sounds worryingly romantic )

Hmmm....why double post? Oh well, couple more.

 

[littlespark]

Funny that…. Cos I saw this and thought of you!

 

[littlespark]

So where was this, @Moley ? ... Were you working in a toy shop, or some toy collectors place??

My most recent purchase was a drive to Falkirk, got something ive wanted... but also 4 others that ive already got.
I must have about £500's worth of doubles to sell off.

That Wallace and Gromit is very creative. Not an official Lego set I don't think though.

No, its not. I got it from the Lego Ideas site, where home designers can submit ideas, and if they get enough backing... Lego turns them into official sets.

That's definitely a candidate for making into one

They are in a shop in Watchet in Somerset. I'm down here doing some work on our chalet before the season starts and they ban power tools. It seems like I've just bought a car too

Wasn't a Lego car. Mini Clubman Cooper S with flappy paddle gear change. Collecting it next weekend.

 

[littlespark]

I had a couple of spare hours and a second Jeep Wrangler.

Robots in disguise!

Months later, and the collection has been slowly increasing in number…. To the point that I’ve had to extend the display shelves again. I’m going to have to throw out the big freezer, beer fridge and central heating boiler to make more space.

This one is my latest. Bought direct from Lego, because it’s price was half of anywhere else… even if it was in stock.
Another licensed set. From John Deere

Not a huge set, so no way I was spending 50 quid on it.

Whole body steering, and detachable tipping trailer.

Nice little set that. I think I'm going to get the Mustang soon, the one with the working steering (I've already got the small Mustang).

 

[littlespark]

This one?

It’s on my wish list, but can’t justify £100+

Not again…. Lol.


New set this year, same scale. Coloured inserts can be changed.
