With all of the euphoria surrounding the Lego movie practically everywhere I digitally go , I thought I'd see if I could find any of the old sets I used to have (Or wanted) as a kid - then if I could afford any of it!

Low and behold I did and thus far I've placed 3 orders with a particular seller, the 1st of which arrived on Wednesday!





I've only built 3 out of the 5 sets in this 1st order, but here are some pics anyway :

• Blacktron II: Super Nova II

• Blacktron II: Tri-Wheeled Tyrax

• Blacktron II: Sub-Orbital Guardian

I can't believe what I've managed to find, nor can I wait for it all to arrive!

I quite liked Lego back in the day but never to the same degree as Transformers or Ninja Turtles, so the few Lego sets I used to have were quite cherished until the parts were all lost to the 4 corners of the abode that also housed 2 younger siblings.

So coupled with my recent dablings with "Alien Conquest" & "Monster Fighters" lines, along with quite a lull in my TF collecting of late - I decided to throw some money at some older sets and re-live a small part of my childhood.

Very nice pick up. Those Blacktron sets can be very popular.

I don't doubt, I loved the theme & colour-scheme as a kid - there was a lot to love with it ...



...but there was also a lot to love with the following series too :

• U.F.O: Radon Rover

The Radon Rover was probably my favourite set as a kid, I remember pulling it apart and rebuilding things with it countless times - Just pure awesome!
I do remember always looking at the catalogue & toy shelves at the time, yearning for something more - That feeling wasn't ever satiated, until last week when the yearning was finally quenched...

So I finally got around to constructing & photographing the final kit to Order #1

This is one of the "Drooled over as a kid" sets that I'm really pleased with and excited to finally own , behold!:

• U.F.O: Warp Wing Fighter

...and thus crowns the completion of Order #1; 3 out of the 5 of these sets were revisits to kits I once owned as a kid, but all 5 have been extremely fun, relaxing & cathartic experiences.




Now, to begin Order #2...
