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)

(...) If you mean an element with printing on it, there have been several. White 2x2 round with a black grid on it is used for headlights in several sets, although a specific reference is escaping me, I KNOW I've parted at least two different sets (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yep, you're right. The headlights for 8422 are printed. That reminds me...I think the headlights for 8816 are also screened (this may be the element that you're thinking of). (...) Nope, those are stickers. Andy (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I assume that the headlight parts on the 8880 are screened because they are 2x4 "top" slopes, and hence has a rugged surface, unsuitable for putting decals on. The same goes for the 8422, or rather, they are screened because the headlights (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm with that. All the slope bricks with a logo or other painting on are screened rather than having stckers applied. Selçuk (26 years ago, 29-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Just because I just finished putting together my new 8880, which arrived in the mail today, I feel I need to say: Amen! to that. :) Jasper (26 years ago, 31-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah.... I didn't figure it would be _that_ large. 48 cm hadn't really sunk in yet, I guess :) Now for the 5571 and a flatbed trailer for it to sit on :) Jasper (26 years ago, 3-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well.... Lots. Somehow I can't get all that excited over, say, 2140, because that's the only one of small modern sets that springs to mind, for reasons off-topic to this group ( :-0) ), While things like 8880 and 5571 make me go: Wow! :) (...) (26 years ago, 3-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)
