(...) This piece seems to defy standard description. For a long time, I thought of it as a camera piece (and it does get used that way, sometimes). Some classic-space-heads call it a thruster. As much as I like qualitative part-names(1), it's (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)

I would assume it would be a collection of FEQ. but I have noticed, LegoG has only a single car racing on the box. This could be a bad sign.

This is my first post to lugnet. I've been lurking since it came online. I have to say I like lugnet so far. It's relatively organized and has better people/control than RTL does :) (Not that I hate RTL, it's just a tad bit disorganized) I've been (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
