The dark side of the brick

Last week was something of a write-off with work and the weekend was spent seeing my uncle for his 75th birthday, so relatively little Lego-ing was done.  My grand deconstruction did, however, encompass the two Flash Speeders.   First up was 7124 from way back in 2000.  With only 103 bricks, this is a surprisingly good set.  Lots of parts that are now pretty rare and expensive, I got mine for a pretty good price, I seem to remember.   Lego waited 15 years to release the follow-up: 75091 . With 3x the number of bricks, the detail is obviously ramped up and this is, indeed, also a nice enough set.  Neither will go down in history as my favourites but both pretty good.
