Lego Construction 3

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 8:37 pm

Nearly done… nearly done. I’ve been saying that over the past few weeks, but somehow I keep finding another kit to extract from the rubble of Lego blocks, plates, tiles, and other parts. Here is what happens. One or two parts in the rubble catch my attention so I look up what kits they are in and I realize that I’ve got yet other parts that are from that same kit. So TADA I sort that kit, and register the missing parts to be ordered. So another ten kits have been done this way.

Yesterday I received the remaining parts for the 6971 Intergalactic Command Base that I had purchased. That night Katie and I built it while watching some of our favorite TV programs. This morning I took it all apart and re-bagged it. Another one hits the dust.


Here are all the kits that I’ve sorted (ordered by release date and part count) from the mass of parts I had. For each one I printed the assembly instructions and inventory list and put both of them in a binder. I still have about ten kits that are missing some parts and they are waiting for me to order the parts when I get the money (probably after the holidays).

7720 Battery Train Set 1980 406 ?
6871 Star-Patrol Launcher 1984 66 ?
6971 Intergalactic Command 1984 312 ?

6085 Black Monarch Castle 1988 665 68.00
6675 Road & Trail 4 X 4 1988 79 ?
8865 Test Car 1988 892 ?
6895 Spy-Trak I 1989 143 15.00
6060 Knight’s Challenge 1989 160 22.00
8054 Universal Building Set 1989 194 ?
8854 Power Crane 1989 508 ?

6057 Sea Serpent 1992 117 16.50
6852 Sonar Security 1993 60 6.00

So for now I’m done. I’ve boxed up the remaining parts, and stored them all in the garage.
