| (...) This is what I think of when I think of LEGO Technic models. This has a very realistic look to it. Very well done! Someone once asked me why I felt so strongly that the Jack Stone series was a bad move for the company. I told them that, "it (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| (...) Releasing sets like that is NOT the way to get me to reach for my wallet. The 3 small mini sets look acceptable though. As for the backhoe, its got some good points (the large quantity of Pneumatics for one) but the worst point is that it (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| (...) Wow! 9 cylinders, that's unprecedented, It's also the same number as on my AK912 crane. The thought of adding pnumatics to the shovel on the original JCB had crossed my mind before.

| Yeah!! :) I think, despite the odd looks of some of the models, the message is clear - Technic as a name may have fallen by the wayside, at least in TLC's plans, but the idea behind the parts is still alive and well - "build working models".

Count me in to preorder these and get them as soon as Lego has (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| Its worth taking a close look at some of the other items on marz. 4481 (a Star Wars set) seems to have some interesting looking ring gears. (What might once have been referred to as Technic parts ;) I wonder what options will exist to attach things (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| A few observations about the new sets (now I've had the time to have a better look). First the fire truck. I've seen enough disaster movies to immediately recognize it as an airport firetruck. The color, oh well, maybe I'd prefer yellow or dayglow (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

I hope it's a Technic turntable in the back of that thing for the backhoe. The front bucket looks like a new (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

| Hello all, After reading all the threads of the original message, I would like to contribute my 2 cents, (before I’ll gladly give them, along with few hundred dollars more to Lego). 8454 – Funny how the more ugly set got more responds than the other (...)
