This pic may not mean much to most of you, infact to many of us it represents one of the low points in the toy range, but, to me, this is the best part of the last hour's work!
I've just struggled with make it from misb. [many thanks Lady Jaye!]
Man, it was not easy! I'm a 33 year old man with reasonable intelligence and I found it bloody hard work.
Removing the parts off the sprules was painstaking as I was worried I'd break the parts and then trying to follow the instructions to assemble it! And the stickers were incredibly fiddly!
I had this one and the other 2 as a kid and I have no recollection of any moments' trouble putting any of them together. As I seem to remember it, they were a piece of cake.
Also, to make things worse, this my second attempt! A few months back I bought all 3 pacrats, misb.
I carefully put them all together and managed to knacker EVERY one.
I broke the connectors on some of the red and black missiles on the Dart. Snapped the connectors where the legs attach to the body on the first shaft and managed to loose the aerial for the lance within minutes of opening it up. I searched everywhere in that room and it still remains unfound .
Anyway, my moan is about how bloody difficult they are to put together without breaking anything.
And they were supposed to be for kids of 4 and up!
