Finally got a new US Technic catalog, and I had to wait entirely too long to see a 99 set in the stores, maybe if people actually bought the CyberSlam stuff the Lego rep would have had to put new technic stuff out earlier. oh well. ThrowBots 8500 (...) (26 years ago, 20-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

(...) If I only had those pieces. Or if I had a 8858...... I would love to have some good suspension parts. I was thinking of attempting to use two 8417's to make a nice hotrod. But lack of good (specialized) pieces holds me back. I saw on your site (...) (26 years ago, 18-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

I've been looking into the problem of making a model which is narrower than the 8880 Supercar, while still retaining all the cool features, like independent suspension and steering wheel drive. Working with this, I have made a web page with some (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

That's an extremely beautiful building. The 'chandelier' caught my eye long before I got to the close-up picture at the bottom of the page. You've captured the Art Deco feel in a way I did not think would be possible. The level of detail is amazing. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)
