Another one of the Lego sets that we discovered in our tub-o-Lego was the Underseas Explorer, part of the Atlantis series of Lego models. This one was missing a couple of the wheels (there should be three on each side rather than two) and one of the leg armour modules has been repurposed from Lightning McQueen of Cars fame.
The Undersea Explorer is somewhat of a transformer and converts from its mech/robot form into a more traditional ocean bottom crawling mini-sub.
Forget that you read the title of this post. You just went and re-read it didn’t you. You do know that re-reading it will make it harder to forget, right?
Anyhow, in some remote country side area (like Lego-Kansas or somewhere), lives a simple Lego farmer with his old fashioned hay pitch fork. He’s going about his business (feeding Lego-hay to Lego-farm-animals who can’t eat it and also don’t make a whole lot of Lego-manure) which given the parenthesised description is somewhat pointless (unlike his pitch fork). Let’s call him “Farmer”.
The next set for building was “Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter”. We discovered that we had it by browsing a website showing all of the Lego sets by series and year. It’s cockpit canopy was rather distinctive and matched. Davison also recognized the blue and white wing patterns.
Yesterday I (Davison) finished the arc fighter and I had supper. Then I started building the Rebel Scout Speeder. Since this small model didn’t have many pieces I thought I could build this one that evening. So I started to gather pieces for it and in no time it was done.
Dad: According to our sources, this is the only set which came with the nifty, not seemingly useful Rebel helmets. So this was an easy one to pinpoint as a target set to build.
Yup, another Lego set post, but I’ll try to liven it up with a bit of a story. When we got the tub-o-Lego, there were a bunch of “assemblies”; that being parts of Lego sets that had not been entirely disassembled. We set these aside both to assist in figuring out what we had and then to cut down on the number of pieces that we would have to find. This is the story of one of those assemblies and how it led to a particular set.
The assembly in question was this one, a little unique in that it had an unorthodox manner of narrowing from four wide down to 2 wide. It also had a bit of a beak-like appearance.
