LEGO® Bungee Blaster

Description

A Technic set built for play

Alongside the big Technic models, the nineties brought many small sets that were finished quickly and could be tried out straight away. The Bungee Blaster belongs to that group. The name promises a toy to play with, and with 64 pieces and no minifigures the set is small enough to be built and rebuilt in a single afternoon, in case you want to try a variant of your own. The model itself is the focus here, rather than a scene with figures.

Black and light grey, with yellow and blue

Black and light grey form the base, as was usual for Technic sets of those years. Yellow and blue provide the accents and make the model catch the eye. The contrast between dark mechanics and bright surfaces was a trademark of the range. The parts match other nineties Technic sets well in colour, whereas newer greys look different as soon as you lay them side by side. If you plan to mix several sets, compare the light greys in daylight first so that the result looks uniform.

28 different parts at a glance

The 64 pieces are spread across 28 different shapes. That is a similar ratio to other small Technic sets: beams, pegs and axles show up in several copies, joined by a few special parts that give the model its character. On this page you can see the complete parts list with colours and quantities, so you can check used copies or order missing parts precisely. Because axles and pegs are small and easily lost, an exact comparison is especially worthwhile with Technic.

Parts for constructions of your own

Technic parts can be used in many ways, and even a small set like this yields more than the original model with a little imagination. The “What can I build?” tool checks which models your own bricks allow, which helps you make sensible use of leftovers. Collectors can also put the set next to the dragster from the same year, since the two have almost exactly the same piece count. Side by side they show how differently two models can be built from a similar number of parts.
