 | | 5580 extra pieces
|
| Hi all, recently found a 5580 and built it straight away. There seem to be quite a few extra pieces. I've looked at the pictures for the second model (too ugly to waste any time building it) and it doesn't seem to need them. I'm used to getting a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.modelteam)

| | Lego lights?
|
| When I was a little kid I got a kit for adding electric lights to my creations. It consisted of two little yellow 2x2 bricks with a 4.5VDC light bulb shining out the front, and the old 4.5V type of electrical connector on the back. I got tired of (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

The big difference was that K'nex colour-coded the function of each element. There were no duplications of the same piece (...) (24 years ago, 11-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
