| Just finished building 10181. It is a great piece. However, it is rather flimsy which seems to be a continuing problem with the large new sets. What else I saw was a slight variation in the shade of the bricks. Even within the same kind of brick I (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.general)

They do, however, come in the 9754 DSDK kit, four to a kit. Very rare, IMHO, to find nowadays. ;-) There (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
