Day 10.
Set 8860… my brother had this one as a kid, and I acquired this a couple years ago. Missing a couple of very small parts, and a rubber band for the engine fan.

Excellent. That's the one I was referring to earlier. My favourite lego set ever. Got it as a Christmas present in the 1980s and still have it. No box sadly.

A few pieces had gone missing, but I managed to get replacements from ebay.

Only recently did I realise that the 3 gears that can be chosen are only 2... low and middle for pushing it along and watching the pistons, or by moving a few parts, allows you to use only middle and high.... for when you add an electric motor. Instructions to do so are in the book.

Are you starting to wonder how big my display cabinet is, yet?

Yes I remember 'discovering' the hidden gear.

4 functions powered through motor which comes with the model. Complex gearbox allows all control with only 2 levers.

Looks a good set that.

Have you seen the new typewriter set that's been released? Looks good.

Day 13.

2014 pullback pairs. 42026 and 42027. The only function of these are the pullback motors, same as the 2013 pair.
Although …27 does include a string and hook so possible to imagine your own crane builds.
Again, Lego included instructions on their website to build a combination model if you had both of these.

Day 14

9493 Star Wars x-wing. Bought from eBay so didn’t come with original figures.
Wings operate with turning cogwheel on rear, so kind of technic ???

Day 15

Another oldie. Number 952 or 851 depending on which continent you’re in.
Proper PTO drive that turns the tools on the back as the tractor rolls forward.

Nice classic technic set that one.

Day 16

Set 21108
Who you gonna call?

Nothing much to say about this…. Just a display model.

Day 17

42108. 8 wheel steering crane.
Bought this one new a couple years ago. Will add a motor at some point, and different mechanics for the outriggers, as you need small child-like fingers to pull them out.

Day 18
42033 and 42034

pair from 2015

Day 19

21019. Eiffel Tower.

Good use of hinged parts to make up all the angles.

ps, #29 should have read “pullback pair from 2015”
