|
| Michael, The first set you described sounds like it could be the 8422. I picked it up recently and it is a nice model with 300+ pieces. It is very similar to the blue 8417 motorbike. Keith Blumenthal (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

| Hi! Do any of you out there who own a 8428 dune buggy know of a way around the arcade game so that I can see the other car designs and don't end up getting carpal tunnel syndrome in the process? Keith Blumenthal (25 years ago, 18-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)

|
| Good question! I would say my top three are: 1. 8001 - Star Wars Battle Droid - Great looks, great functionality. As perfect a set as I seen from Lego. 2. 8480 - Space Shuttle - Most sophisticated in functionality. Challenging to build. 3. 8462 - (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
