|
|
Over the last few days I was able to find two new 1999 Technic sets. I found 8252 (Beach Buster) at my local Target and I picked up 8246 (Hydro Racer) at the LIC here in Orlando (WDW). The 8252 set is the blue and white police buggy that can be (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

What is the most common brick people have in their collections? My collection probably has at least a hundred 1x2 bricks, over 10% of my total collection. Anyway is this also the most common brick produced by TLG or do I buy an abnormal number of (...) (26 years ago, 24-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Is that refering to the 8448? I think it looks like the chassis under the seats are made up of three layers of traditional beams, so I you'll probably find a lot of studs on it. Fredrik (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

September for the red car!! Hydraulics! Translations, please! Some of the new Technics were disappointing, until seeing the bigger models. But observations of the '98 sets seem true for '99. Very few studded bricks. Looks like some of the only (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Do you mean *just* by color? One bucket/tub for each color? That only works up to a certain point. My current sort is somewhat complex, primaraly by shape for the common elements. I do have a bucket for each color for "special" pieces that don't go (...) (26 years ago, 26-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
