Yes. Technic figure.
My day is now complete.
Soo... It's a plane on tracks?
Imaginative.
Hey Lego, I would buy this.
We have those Build-a-Guys construction things. Such as the speeder bike with scout Trooper. Be neat if larger Technic had a constraction figure, or part of of one, with some sets. Though it is cool how even a System minifig looks great stuffed into the controls of big digging machines.
I have this. I didn't get what is it, so 99% of time it was built as model 2.
This was called the Warthog in the UK. I had it, I loved it, and looking back at it, I have no idea what the hell was going on. Rule of Cool, I guess. Those treads were the best thing.
I didn't know Technic had minifigures, learned something new today.
When I saw this set, I couldn't figure out why the body wasn't attached to the chassis, but it's supposed to fly I guess?
Formula thread?
Model looks good. It has a technic figure on the plus side. But it's not very technic, is it?
I didn't know this existed but now I want it LOL
