I used to over this as a kid after finding it in the lego leaflet that came with a small set I got for Christmas once.

I must have been about 8 or 9 because I can remember to this day finding this exact set at school in a cupboard, as I lifted the lid my hope of actually seeing the bits in the flesh were destroyed in a second. What was in the box was just a motley collection of odd LEGO bits

Funny how things stay with you. Might be off to eBay to fulfil that desire

I have been doing the same over the years with G1 Transformers
