Description

Travelling through time

Time Cruisers was a range in which time travellers fly through different eras. The Flying Time Vessel is one of its craft and blends science fiction with a playful, slightly zany look. At 239 pieces it is one of the smaller models in the range and quick to build. For collectors it is of interest because Time Cruisers stayed in the catalogue only briefly and is now regarded as a special niche. The craft itself looks like a fantasy vehicle, with a build and appearance that are not modelled on anything from daily life.

Grey, black, yellow and red

Light grey and black form the base colours of the vessel, while yellow and red add bold accents. The result looks technical without being gloomy. The palette suits many space sets of the nineties and combines easily with other models. In the parts list on this page you can see which elements come in which colour, and where you would need alternatives for conversions of your own. If you want to bring time travellers together with figures from other eras, the pale base colour suits almost any background.

108 element types from 239 pieces

The ratio stands out: 108 different elements among just 239 pieces, so nearly every second piece is a shape of its own. That keeps the build varied and means the box offers plenty of scope for projects of your own, such as wings, engines or control panels. Two minifigures sit aboard and give the vessel scale and character. That helps with your own builds, because individual special shapes are easier to use than dozens of identical bricks when you want to construct something unusual.

For play and for reuse

The vessel is meant as a toy: you can pick it up, swoosh it around the room and pair it with other figures. If you would rather collect, place it with the other Time Cruisers models. And when you later need the parts for something else, the “What can I build?” tool on this page helps you find sensible alternatives with your stock, without searching for long. The arrangement of the parts also stays flexible, so the vessel can easily be altered or extended with accessories from other sets.
