My son has just had his birthday and got some Lego kits. This is one of the builds. A pull back technics kit with bike, trailer and lorry. The motorbike has a pull back motor, the trailer goes up and down and the steering on the truck works. It’s Lego kit 42106.

Have a nice ride.
When I was a kid I loved Lego , my favourite thing to build were towers, skyscrapers etc. I got them to the ceiling a few times. I think it's a little sad that it seems to all about the kit nowadays rather than a big tub of bits and your imagination, having said that some of the Technics kits are really impressive.
Maybe we’re just too old fashioned, FF, but I'm with you. I still like playing with the original Legos, when we were left to create from our imagination.

But different toys for different boys (or girls). Hats off to the peeps that have the determination and project mindset to stick with those kits (and the same for people who can build complicated models.)

I’ve started to suffer quite a bit with arthritis in my hands and have decided to have a go at a Lego Technic kit to try and retain the dexterity in my fingers.

I’ve ordered the 42110 Land Rover Defender kit as a first go.

That should keep me busy for a while. 😬
Will you be putting the lighting kit on it?

It's very good that kit, I really enjoyed it. I hope it does your fingers good, it's really detailed and satisfying to put together.

The lighting kit for the Land Rover, I wasn't sure about. I think it's quite a dear one, or maybe I thought the pictures didn't make me convinced it needs one, but I decided against it.
I did do the lighting kits on the T1 and T2 VW buses, those models really lend themselves to being lit at night.

Was in a LEGO store earlier today, and saw the Landrover kit, built up, with the lights fitted.

Love the campers, very tempted on the T1.
