Lego Technic 8292 – Cherry Picker

The Lego Technics 8292 Cherry Picker is very popular and would make the perfect christmas gift! Need to reach high up jobs? Well your problems are solved as the boom reaches over 41cm! This model is very impressive once built and to those in the know, it looks a bit like a Scania! AWESOME!

There is a motorised lifting action which allows you to control the platform. Whenever your children build the gearing up and first get the platform to move make sure you do not miss the look of achievement in their face! Plus it will keep them out from under your feet on xmas day when you’re preparing the turkey!!

Lego Technics sets are very educational as well as being great fun to build! Give your kids a head start by giving them a christmas gift that will actually help build their hand eye coordination as well as their mental capacity to understand the basics of engineering!

Build your own Lego Technics 8292 cherry picker from scratch, then use the motorized power functions to move the bucket and boom up and down, and flip the switch to make it rotate 360 degrees around. Turn the gear on top to steer the front tires. This realistic LEGO Technic bucket truck includes instructions for rebuilding into a dump truck. Measures over 12.5 inches (31cm) long and boom reaches over 16.5 inches (41cm) tall! Set includes motor and battery box. Requires 6 AA (1.5v) batteries, not included.

A Kid’s Review

Durability: Fun: Educational:

It is a super model, When I got it it took me about four hours to build. I have had it for nearly a year and I play with it quite a lot. I have put some lego men in the front of the cab, it stays together very well and doesn’t fall apart like some other models (not Lego) I think the stability is brilliant – in all I love it!!!

Going Retro — The 8-bit Basement

Ah the memories . . .:D

Just looking at this brings me back to my childhood. I can here the pitchy music, feel the controller in my hand, and all those games we thought were so awesome.

Alex Eylar aka Profound Whatever created this:

It began as a graffiti-style project illustrating my first name (there is still a vague A-L-E-X pattern to it), and turned into a smorgasbord of 80s references.

I think my favorite part is how the digital figures seem to be breaking through a wall. Perhaps there’s some deep message . . . or maybe its just cool looking.

LEGO Miniland Wedding Cake Toppers

I mentioned earlier that I have started selling LEGO jewelery on Etsy.com

Well now I am starting (or is it going back too?) making Miniland figures that will also be available. Miniland scale is one of my favorite styles of building. I did it for 4 years at LEGOLAND California and even had the nickname of Miniland Mom (and no, I didn’t give it to myself ). So creating new Miniland figures is “going back to my roots” as it were.

My first Esty Miniland creation is the traditional Bride and Groom wedding cake topper. Although this is the model that is shown, I will actually make the Miniland Bride and Groom look as close to the real people as possible by changing the hair color, style, dress, and skin tone.
