I am finally starting to feel like myself again after a week sick - so it's back to the M:Tron Lego.

This little set arrived in the mail today. It's the smallest of the M:Tron line, and the least interesting in and of itself.

It's also one of the rarest. Normally the small sets sell really well (because they are cheap) so become quite common - such was the case with the other small M:Tron sets.

But set 1478: Satellite Up-Link wasn't a normal set. It was only sold as part of a group of small sets - and only in the US. It's rare enough that NO ONE is selling one on Bricklink. Not on it's own anyway.

So in order to complete my collection, I sourced the individual pieces (none of which are rare) and recreated the set using the instructions from peeron.com.

The set only comes with one minifig - but his mate came along to help assemble it.

There is one M:Tron set that's even rarer though - it's a set that never even existed.... but that's a tale for another day.

We've had plenty of other days, I think it's about time for the story!

Actually - when you posted that, you'd only had ONE day. Lol.

I do plan to explain - but the explaination is winging it's way here from the US - so I was going to wait until it arrived.

Really? I thought you'd said the same thing somewhere else (i.e. Facebook) and there'd been more days. Awkward.
