Description

Travelling through time

Time Cruisers tells of travellers who drive their vehicles through different eras. The Navigator is one of these craft, and the two minifigures take the roles of its crew. The theme thrives on every vehicle looking different from an ordinary car or spaceship. That gives the set a playful, slightly quirky character and leaves children plenty of space for stories of their own, whether the next stop is the past or the future. Which way the journey goes is decided entirely by whoever is playing.

Light grey, black and yellow accents

The main colours are light grey and black, with yellow and white added. Yellow provides the eye-catchers, while grey and black give the craft a technical look. With 77 different part types among 158 pieces, the set is unusually varied: nearly every second element has its own shape. That makes the build interesting, and the parts list on this page shows every shape with its colour and quantity. That is handy when you hunt for one particular element and do not know which set it hides in.

Build, play, rethink

The Navigator is quick to build and can be altered freely afterwards, because the unusual parts invite experimenting. If you like, combine it with other vehicles from the range to assemble a small fleet for time travel. Collectors value the theme because it was in the catalogue only briefly and stands clearly apart from the classic ranges such as Town or Space. If you want to display the theme, this craft makes a good starting point of manageable size.

Buying second-hand and checking parts

Sets from 1996 are mostly available second-hand, and with so many different parts a missing piece is quickly noticed. The parts list lets you see exactly what is absent and fill the gaps precisely. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria also tells you which other models your collection can produce if you already own the bricks of the Navigator. That way the unusual parts do not end up in a box but find a use in new vehicles.
