Bit of backstory: When I was just a kid (born in 81) - my first major Lego Sets after the little airport and space base - I saw these sets and went wacko. Begged and pleaded for each-and-every set. Somehow - some way I managed to keep them intact and together over the years. Due to various issues I was unable to do much due to living situation - then that changed thanks to a good job and pulling out of debt. I've since become a Star Wars fanatic and started collecting UCS sets - but Mtron always held a very special place in my heart. My first major collection. I intend to keep it that way. I found that I was a little hard on my lego's so I had to recover/replace some parts - and missing 1 manual - 250 USD later and some patient waiting on Ebay - I can finally say I have the entire collection. I also discovered that there was a bonus set that I had missed that required 3 of the models to make this one - hence the 200 bucks or so - I bought the 3 extra duplicates of my collection to make that one special bonus. And here they are all on display. Notes: What you see is the following sets: 1478 - Mobile Satellite Up-Link 6811 - Pulsar Charger 6833 - Beacon Tracer 6877 - Vector Detector 6896 - Celestial Forager 6923 - Particle Ionizer 6956 - Stellar Recon Voyager 6989 - Mega Core Magnetizer 6862 - Secret Space Voyager (bonus "super" set - 6877, 6896 and 6923 required/used) 6704 - Extra figure Somewhere in there I may or may not have modded a couple sets for the extra parts left over from the super set - and took some creative licensing (all extra parts) 6710 - Blacktron Space Landing Plates - 3 sets of them 6971 - 2 Space "Lunar plates" from my old yet horribly broken set (I regret this) I have all manuals - no parts missing - I only lack original boxes - back in the day those where original paper - no cardboard - I regret that - but at least this survived. Now If only I could figure out what this entire collection is worth? I'm also inclined to find a MOC MTron Base for my collection. - In any case - may you enjoy and share the memories of the epic 90's. I decided to make a little themed "mining operation" showing off my collection - bought a whole pile of neon green studs due to shipping restrictions - cause why not. Yes you may or may not spot the Ice Planet models in the background - don't mind them :) Trivia Fact: This was the first time they introduced magnets into Space Legos I hope there are still some die hard MTron fans out there - love to hear from you! Enjoy. :)

VintageLegoEra posted a topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Hello Again with another review of Classic Set and this time is: Legoland (6059 Knight's Stronghold)....... This Set was Released in 1990 a successor to Set 6085. This is Just an AWESOME Set, you can see it is 2 in 1. The Black Falcons and the Black knights in 1 set...Soo Coool. It will have a plenty of play time and Joy! The Sets comes with: 5 Minifigures + 1 White Horse + 1 Catapult + 1 Stronghold Wall Valuable Information: This Set is of 2 Versions, one comes as Legoland and one other comes as Lego System. The Legoland Version is the old/first batch and glad mine is The Legoland version Also, the Set has some Unique Features like: a Jail, Catapult which add more flavour to the Set Now With Photos: This Photo illustrate The whole Set. The Set is just perfect to Minifigure Scale Black Falcons Army: -Knight and a Warrior...An Elegant Knight wear Black Night's Army: - 3 Guard. If you have the set 6085 then they are not new to you. juts the Legs are different :) The Stronghold Wall ( Open ): - The Set is Supported with hinges to allow you to Open it or Close it...A great Feature to Create your own castle Mode and Look! - Back Look: As you can see, a Jail at far left and seems to be a space on far right which i believe you can put a warrior there :) The Stronghold Wall ( Closed ): - mmmmm,,,Well they way how it looks when closed is little Squeezy and looks so Narrow, but the huge door and shields give it nice view ;) I think this is a great set to obtain and will look just a true Castle combo with set 6085 Thanks for Watching!

I used Lego Digital Designer (LDD) to model a 1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It features an opening hood (bonnet) and rear tailgate, a working V4 engine, and folding front seats. It uses 643 parts and has 216 steps in the LDD Building Guide. The LDD .lxf Building Instruction file is available for download via Rebrickable, or via SkyDrive here. I used the LDD to POV-RayTM Converter (LDD2PovRay) software for these sharp renders: The working V4 engine moves when the rear axle turns. You can see the Lego Technic elements used: The real vehicle looks like this (note that the camera created a slight "fisheye" effect and the proportions are distorted a tad): Here are some LDD screenprints of the 12-studs-wide, 35-studs-long, 9-2/3 bricks high model. One can see the slanted, folding seats and other details:
