A few observations about the new sets (now I've had the time to have a better look). First the fire truck. I've seen enough disaster movies to immediately recognize it as an airport firetruck. The color, oh well, maybe I'd prefer yellow or dayglow (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

Yeah!! :) I think, despite the odd looks of some of the models, the message is clear - Technic as a name may have fallen by the wayside, at least in TLC's plans, but the idea behind the parts is still alive and well - "build working models".
