(...) I dunno, I haven't got one. Moz should be able to answer that. I suspect that the weight of the body of the 8865 is a tad bit too large for this setup. I'm fearing that the front wheel axles will "twist", making the wheels stand out on the (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

For those of you who may get lucky (as I did)... I was in Target here in Tulsa today, and found a few bargains. One that was interesting: The Rocky Ridge playscape promo sets. These were not marked as clearance, and if you scanned them on the floor, (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

Hi to all. I was in WalMart in Pryor, OK, this evening. No markdowns visivble...sigh. But after having hit two Target stores this afternoon, I was not to be dissuaded so easily, so...

(...) I just got the Model Team Ferrari, too, and it is very nice. I can understand that you want to keep in on the shelf. Did you apply the decals, by the way? Oh, and if you have the 5571 on the shelf as well, why not make a flatbed trailer for it (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)

Yes it is very heavy, especially when you properly configure it with 10 wheels. Has anyone tried to make a complete 18 wheeler based on the 5571? I've got enough tires, but that would be one big box for the trailer. KL (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)
