But what about the kid who wants to get started in Technic but can't come up with that kind of coin? What ever happened to nice small realistic Technic (Expert Builder) sets like this: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/854 This set has only 200 pieces... all standard bricks, or technic bricks/connectors. And thanks to a solid classic design, there is no reason this set wouldn't sell today as well as it sold in 1977. And it wouldn't have to cost a mint. Think of some young kid being introduced to LEGO through a fun set like this.... it's a nice thought. Regards, Allan B. - Expert Builder website - http://www.apotome.com/builder
