Description

Outdoor snow photography with the vintage ‪LEGO‬ Ice Planet 2002 model “Ice Tunnelator.” This was the very first Ice Planet set I ever received as a child. I recall precisely: in early 1993 at age 8, I went on a routine mission to Toys “Я” Us with my stepdad. I headed towards the LEGO aisle to see the new models, and said to myself, “HOLY FOKKER SHRAPNEL!! Ice Planet!!? What!!? They’ve got like, like, neon orange chainsaws!!? WHAT!!?”

I first encountered the line with that set too, as a stocking-stuffer Christmas present.


It was clunky and basic, and I wondered how the vehicle would make any good use of that saw when it only cut in a side-to-side arc too high to help overcome obstacles. But it still wowed me. Those 'marshmallow' tires, the bright orange transparents, stunning white hair on the heads, the chainsaw blades, skis, the neat new visors, and that pivot mount the saw got plugged into were all new... at least, as far as I know. And they were all pretty cool.
