Littlespark’s collection

My latest from FB.

Went to pick up the crane for £30 and he threw in the 4x4 for another 20.
Missing a few parts, including the remote control for the car.

Bargain! The crane is on my wanted list, it looks a good set that.

Popped in to look at a job today….

“Excuse the Lego…. You wouldn’t think my son was 22 years old!”

You wouldn’t think I was 48 either……


Started on the new mini figure bags… got 7 out of 12 so far. Have a seasonal theme about them… turkey costume, snowman, nutcracker… sugar plum fairy…
Photo to follow when I get them all.



I found a Lego store E. Voucher in my email junk from a family member for my birthday back in July.… £30…

So the ISS is on its way in the post.

On its way, and surprisingly delivered today!

Happy afternoon..

Includes itty bitty space shuttle and a couple of micro figure astronauts….

11 out of 12 now for the new collectible mini figures… just missing the snowman, so I think it’ll have to be sourced on eBay now.

This is a fb marketplace purchase. Set 42080. Stripped down, cleaned and rebuilt this past week.
Motor turns a cam that pumps up the pneumatics, which either lift the arms, or open/close the log gripper at the front.

Steering is front wheels and the articulated body.
Cab and arms can also rotate manually.

Got this one from same source as the logger above.
One of the large scale motorbikes… this one from 2017, and has the 40 year printed brick underneath.

Completed series 23.

Snowman came from eBay this morning… so that’s 12/12. Seasonal theme includes nutcracker, thanksgiving turkey man and a dragon… for some reason.

Remote control buggy.

Bluetooth link to phone app, and compared to the top gear car from last year, this thing is fast!

Managed to get this for £40 on ebay because it had a couple of small pieces missing. Very good set.

 

[littlespark]

one of my recent acquisitions, @DPG. Looks like you have the same shelves as me too.

I got the book, and the sticker sheet with one sticker still to put on... Only used on the B model though.

Built this one the other day. Very good set considering it's from the 1970s. And no special parts.

 

[littlespark]

Did you clean it?

Any of my 40 year old parts are faded, cracked, and possibly tooth marked.

No cleaning at all. This is one of 3 sets I bought together and all 3 have bricks that are like new. They even click together like new lego. Must have barely been used.

Some of the blue engine bricks have darkened slightly for some reason - I might get a few replacements for these.

I haven't done any competitions for a while, so the other day... i thought, heck its christmes... entered a few.

Guess what's coming in the next week or so... hopefully before xmas so i can hide it.

There’s plenty I’ve not won. Same site I had 10 tickets for some dewalt kit… and I didn’t win that..

Prize arrived today, but I couldn’t open it… better wait until Xmas.

Although I might need to check the contents.

 

[littlespark]

Merry Xmas to me.

Add to the minifig collection, but don’t take it out the packet!

Didn't they do a Littlespark tartan?

There is a Little tartan, but that’s my home town.
