Hi Jake, The K10022 set is on sale in the Danish part of (URL) for 1764 Danish kroner. The problem is that it is in fact not on sale, it is the same price as before the so-called sale. That is illegal according to Danish law. I sent a comment to (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-05, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) One reason that the boxes are too big is that technic parts overall have gotten smaller, which means that more pieces fit in a smaller area. The actual amount of pieces in each set has increased since almost all technic sets are studless. I (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

Keith, I know. I buy 90% of my parts from all over the world. My whole point of the my post was just to show how we must pay high international costs to get what we want because items are not readily availible to us. I meant my post as more of a (...)

While Lego may be torturing Lego enthusiasts, they are helping out the internet hurting postal workers by making all of us pay high international postal rates to get the sets that are not availible to us.

Dear Lego, Why do you torture Technic enthusiasts? First, we get a preview of three very cool looking Technic sets (8421, 8420, and 8416), but for some reason the release dates of these sets are clustered together in the 4th quarter of 2005. Then, (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic)
