  aslo: new Technic product shown!
 
Hi! I wonder why so far nobody has mentioned the new LEGO Technic product that is shown in one of the large pictures of the photo gallery. Looks like we will get more Cyberslam-like stuff later this year. I copied the relevant images into the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) 8425 and 8836? Nah - the best Technic plane is <set:8855> IMO I'll bet you a Technic piece of your choice that you won't be able to order the parts for THAT one. That prop attached to a gear piece has to be one of the most rare pieces going. (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: new Technic product shown!
 
(...) You are completely right about the Prop Plane <set:8855>. Not only is it the the best Technic plane but it may be the best Technic set period. It is only 1 of 2 sets in my opinion that are perfect in both form and function. The prop assembly (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Here are some other very rare technic parts... locking rings from 8880 as used in the suspention white suspention arms from 8865 and there are plenty of rare system parts including the monorail cover from the airport shuttle. And there are (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) As for the model aspect you are completely right, but look on the bright side: it comes in colors that don't hurt the eye, and there seem to be some nice parts in it. Jürgen (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)
 
  Re: aslo: new Technic product shown!
 
(...) If you look at the "Cyber Sriker Part II" on the left, notice the semi-"lower jaw" lookin' thing. That looks an awful lot like the Bionicle Finger that has the .mecha folks in a tizzy. Perhaps the Bioncle Hand isn't a prefab assembly, but a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

(...) The 8858 has a small gear rack with two lobes on one side which is used for steering. I think that this piece is only found once as well. (23 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

  Re: new Technic product shown!
 
(...) As a Technics fan I completely agree with the the above comment - that's why the Starwars 8000, 8001 and (especially) the 8002 sets were such a revelation for me. I'd like to see more of this kind of set and a shift away from 'Technics' (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

  Re: new Technic product shown!
 
(...) Oddly enough, I do actually agree with you here - I really like it when someone comes up with something that is not a vehicle with Technic. Saying that, it could well be argued that the Star Wars droids are in fact also vehicles, but then that (...) (23 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic, lugnet.year.2001)

Lego have already had a fire engine in the Technic range, and people sometimes mistake my red mobile crane for a fire engine, so does that count? :-) I like the idea of an ambulance - what functions would you have in (...)
