Mystery in Yellow

Post by Kanduu »

Sorting through a nice lot of 70s-80s pieces I got at a yard sale, I discovered this piece: http://www.maj.com/gallery/Kanduu/Other ... rm1244.jpg

Generally if I discover a piece I've never seen before, I can look it up on Peeron. However, I don't even know where to start for this one.

Anyone know what this is and what set(s) it was in? I'm assuming it's pretty old, considering what else was in the lot, plus I haven't seen it before. So maybe one of you more, um, wise AFOLs can help. :wink:

Wow... Enigma... that is a good guess... I'd say if it's not that, it must be something like that... an odd piece to larger set... before I saw Enigma's peeron pic, I would have guessed that it's not even LEGO. :P

Enigma is right. I have one of those and in not much better condition than that one. The only difference is that I've had mine since I was a kid, so its condition is my own fault. :) I got mine in this set

Ah ha! I guess that it wasn't with the other part is what threw me. (I have a complete forklift somewhere around here--first piece I ever "Peeroned" too, I discovered I had that neat space set!)

Glad to know what it is now. This is the first time I've had torsos without arms and "legs" without legs. It's neat!

Thanks guys for the input--and good thinking eNiGMa.

I have one of them in grey. It makes a pretty sweet balista spear thrower.
