Star Bird
Instructions now available on Rebrickable.
Did you have one of these in the 1980s? I didn't, but my cousin did, and I loved playing with it. Now I have my own in Lego form.
I can remember the feel of holding the neck and flying it around, finger on the laser trigger. When you tilted it up, it made an accelerating engine sound and a decelerating sound on the way down. It was definitely one of my favorites.
This LEGO model of the classic Star Bird recreates the main play features:
- A button at the back of the command section lights up the laser blasters in front (via two light bricks).
- The command section can detach and dock with the main engine for a more agile star fighter.
- The two small interceptors can detach from the main section.
- The model is sturdy, built with swooshability in mind."
