     (...) Thanks for the input. I'll stick with the Planos for now. But the Lego suitcase looks pretty cool. Maybe it's because I also have a lot of DeWalt power tools, and they all have the same types of cases, along with that mesmerizing electric (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)

     Hi Sean, all the sets are shown in the latest german consumer catalog so we can be sure that they will appear this year.

        Re: Hidden Technic Kits for 2000 —Zach Martin
   In which catalog do these newer service packs appear? (I've been out of the S@H and lugnet 'loop' since january... and they must have stopped sending me catalogs since I haven't bought anything from S@H for about a year.) Will they be available (...)
