Description

Two minifigures, one machine

With 183 pieces and two minifigures, Dragon Fly sits among the small Town sets that can be built in an afternoon. The pair of figures gives the model a crew and a sense of movement, which makes it better for play than for simple display. The name points to something slender and agile. The pictures above show the exact idea best, but even the parts list tells you a lot about how the model is put together.

Black, white, red and light grey

Black leads the colour mix, followed by white, red and light grey. It is a high-contrast palette that gives the model a sporty feel. Seventy-four distinct part types among 183 pieces is a high figure for a set this size, so there is plenty of variety and little plain repetition. For builders who enjoy working with special elements that is a good starting point, since many of the pieces can be reused in your own designs.

Who it is for

Dragon Fly suits collectors completing their late-nineties Classic Town range, and builders who want a compact set with short instructions. It works for play because it is sturdy enough and brings two figures along. As a source of spare parts it is interesting, since the mix of basic bricks and specialist pieces is versatile. It is less of a classic display piece and more of a model that finds a home both on the shelf and on the table.

Parts list and rebuilds

You will find the complete parts list with every colour and quantity on this page. It helps when checking a used set and when buying individual pieces to replace missing ones. The What can I build? tool shows which further models you can assemble from your collection together with this set. With so many different part types the check is especially worthwhile, because specialist pieces allow rebuilds that plain bricks alone would rarely manage.
