Littlespark’s collection

Day 27.
Set 42079, Forklift.

When this came out in 2018, it was a bit of a “meh” set and I wasn’t keen. A couple of years later I saw it on Facebook locally for fairly cheap. Seller didn’t know if it was complete, but everything was there in the box.
Fills a shelf.

Day 28
2017 pullback models. Sets 42058 and 42059. Called stunt car and stunt bike. Originally came with a small ramp that caused them to jump… which I don’t have as I bought them second hand ?

As with all technic models of 2017, they came with a printed piece to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Technic.

I want 42070, but I can't really justify the price!

Day 29.
Set 40370, released 2020 to mark 40th anniversary of the first Lego train set. (There had been trains before, but 1980 saw tracks, electric motors, buildings etc. A full train set)

Day 30. (Have I been doing this for a month already?!)

The last of my OG technic models… after this they went less traditional bricks, and more buil from angled connectors and axles to make shapes

Set 855 (or 955)
Limited functions just for the crane lift, extend and string pulley. Manual turn.
This could have been better with steering.

Day 31

Set 42109, Top Gear app controlled car.
A new technology, with one motor for drive, and another for steering… Bluetooth link to a smartphone app.

Day 33,
Sets 42072 and 42073. Named Whack and Bash for no apparent reason.
Pullback, with extra feature of the engine block popping off when the front of the car hit a wall or each other.
Had to add an extra plate under the block so it properly pinged off…
