Good old Lego builder Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) My wife found a set at the second hand store 'kringloopwinkel'.. She bought it for €10 for me and my son to build. It is a set from my dark age. I own sets from pre-1990 and after 2010. I liked the set from the pics on the box. image by Good old Lego Builder, on Flickr However when i opened the box it became apparent that the contents was a different set: 8858. Furtherr inspection showed that it is not complete. I have washed the parts as they were really dirty. image by Good old Lego Builder, on Flickr image by Good old Lego Builder, on Flickr The most crucial parts seem to be there. That what is missing I'm sure I have spares for from my or my sons collection. However, that was not all. The box also contained sone folders and booklets, which I added to my small collection of old catalogues. But also there were a few instruction books from quite a few sets. The books seem hardly used. The corresponding sets however were not at the store. image by Good old Lego Builder, on Flickr All in alll, we will try to build the set. And also it had some parts i didn't have, so we will have fun with it anyway. Edited July 5, 2017 by Good old Lego builder Quote

RohanBeckett Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 I picked up 8425 Black Hawk + instructions in a bulk lot last year.. But I was too busy to build it - the parts just went into my main collection last week my 7yr old son found the instructions, and decided he wanted to build it... so he did! Took him 3 mornings, before school... but he did it! only had to help him, in a couple of steps, where he'd misplaced a part, and things didn't line up.. but overall he did very well, with the older, harder instructions! I'd never built this set before, so it was great to see it for the first time.. not a bad little Aeroplane Quote
AOW Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 When I look on the pictures with parts, it looks like you are missing the a seat and one small shock absorver ... also there some parts that did not come with this set ;) Quote
