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.

8500 Torch
8501 Ski
8502 Turbo
8503 Scuba
8504 Jet
8505 Amazon
8506 Granite
8507 Electro
The Lego site shows additional discs as a service pack. the
US catalog shows a Transport (no number) which looks like
a carrying case.
8246 Hydro Racer 3.99
8247 Road Rebel 5.99
2 small "micro" Technic sets
8251 Sonic Cycle 7.99
8268 Scorpion Attack 14.99
8269 Cyber Stinger 39.99
2 new CyberSlam sets, as if last years wasnt too much already
(but Jim, why dont you tell us what you really think)
8252 Beach Buster 19.99
A modular police car/motorcycle. The box (and instructions) show
2 additional sets (8253, a yellow/black helicopter and 8255, a green
motorcycle/sidecar), all of which combine in various ways similer
to the Convert-ables set a few years ago. Note that 8253 and 8255
are not show in the US Technic catalog
8444 Air Enforcer 29.99 avail Jul 1
A medium sized blue helicopter.
8445 Indy Storm 39.99 avail Jul 1
A yellow indy car.
8446 Crane Truck avail Aug
In the Shop-at-home insert. A large green 6-wheeled
crane. Overall pretty odd
8448 Does'nt have a name Avail Jul 1
The next "Super Car" It actually looks pretty cool in the catalog photo.
Both the 8445 and 8448 have what appears to be a new pneumatic cylinder
which is clear with a black piston and spring.

| (...) I've only seen the image (URL) really makes me wonder how the thing works. If that some new pneumatic elements? Or is it something completely new? The thing that closes the grabber looks like a large suspender, which doesn't make sense, I (...) (26 years ago, 25-Dec-98, to lugnet.build)
