(...) Tony, I've been using two or three (and on my new mech four) together to make hip and shoulder joints that can hold 6-7 pounds. I use the "clip" sockets and not the flat feet type ones. Oh and like John says if you're talking about the throw (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build.mecha)

In the scans for the new sets look at the movie theme sets. They have a new clikc hinge that accepts a technic axle. They could be very useful. Mike (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
