LEGO Set No. 75950 Aragog's Lair (2018) - Part 3 Aragog and Small Spiders

LEGO's Aragog is a clever build and I enjoyed assembling it. It builds into a substantially sized creature and has lots of operating features.

Aragog

4.5"(11,43cm) L x 4.75" (12,06cm) W x 1.25" (3,17cm) H

They also come in white

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 44 Airplanes: Pt 9 Mini-Planes

For the next umpteen days we'll be covering Payton mini-planes (my designation, not Payton's). As you can see by the first photo, the mini-planes are quite a bit smaller than the larger bombers. I have identified five different styles of mini-planes: one bomber (or perhaps cargo aircraft) and four fighter jets. I believe these five may be all there are but you never know, vintage toy collecting can always come up with surprises.

The first aircraft can be a bomber or cargo plane, but I'm gonna call it a bomber because that's more exciting.
The 2nd from left is obviously a Sabre. 
The middle plane is just slightly larger than the two to its right. In addition, the wings meet the fuselage in a curve while on the right two aircraft the wings meet the fuselage at a sharp angle.

LEGO Set No. 75950 Aragog's Lair (2018) - Part 2 The Lair

The 'Lair' portion of this set doesn't disappoint. There's enough small details for a budget-friendly set and while these photos only show two of the smaller spiders, the pics in yesterday's post show all five that were included in the set, as well as Aragog himself.

Flick your finger at it to launch

I got mine to fly quite a distance, but it all depends of course on how hard to hit it

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 43 Airplanes: Pt 8 6-Engine Bomber (#9) - Separate Wheels Yellow SP

This is the last color variation of the Payton 6-engine bomber I have in my collection, this one having the number '9' under the fuselage spine. Again, sans wheels.
