I agree. True, I haven't built any TB yet (they're not in Norway), but
from what I have seen, the parts look really useful. I can hardly wait
'til I have them in my Technic collecting.
Also, notice that many of the 1999 Technic sets already use TB elemets.
The feet are used as mirrors on 8448, seat headrests and front light
clusters on 8446. The 8446 also uses the "ski" element in the side, but
I can't really see what it's used for.
LEGO also seems to encourage creative building by showing two large
figures that can be made using elements from multiple TB sets. If you
have some TB's you'll understand what I mean.
If someone has some or all of the TB range, can I ask that you compile a
list of the contents in each set? I'm trying to decide which set has
the most useful element by just looking at the images, but it is
somewhat difficult. Perhaps I'll end up with buying all!
