Dear Lego, Even though I am a huge Lego Technic fanatic, owning about 25-30 sets, I am disappointed that there are currently no female Technic figs at all. Female minifigs have become more and more common and varied but Technic figs are still ALL (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I'm sorry, I disagree. This might work well for the railroad enthusiast who is already familiar with such a system, but the average consumer would expect a "take it out of the box and it works" mentality. This is why we see so many complete working (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
