As one who has spent alot of time in recent days complaining about the lack
of new sets, I am thrilled with these new sets. I love the backhoe and I
think the fire truck looks great too. Count me in to preorder these and get
them as soon as Lego has them ready.
Thanks for the detective work in finding out this information.
Check out this backhoe with 9(!!) pneumatic cylinders: (URL) this 8-wheeled fire truck with 6 steering wheels: (URL) there are more technic sets: (URL) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic) !
