I was cleaning my collection recently, and I found this guy and gave him a good dust. I liked these little sets, they're cute.
It's a Mini Digger!
Can ya dig it?
^No, no I can't.
Though I do have this one (and it's big brother 7248).
Shame we haven’t seen a construction subtheme in city since 2009 (2015 was demolition, although they are similar). It’s fine that we do get some every now and again in the great vehicles line I guess.
Seems like we're due for one in 2021.
Next issue of the City magazine has a vehicle like this, it's smaller and doesn't have a bucket but still similar.
Brickset set :
952003-1: Eddy Erker with Bulldozer
And there's still the 2019 set :
60219-1: Construction Loader.
The 2018 small vehicle with the Mining Team was pretty nice as well, I love those small builds.
Hah was working with a machine like this only the other day!
I have collected 3 of them over the years through random flea markets. Alongside the 7236 Police Car, this is probably the set you would encounter most times a few years ago.
My first ever set.
I have this and it's the only set I lost the box for. Was it ever a polybag? That would explain why.
YES
