Ah. I got this set on mark-down, so I was pretty happy.
It's funny -- I can never have enough mini-figs, but more than a few
technic-guys are overkill. Maybe because they're more alike than

You mean the piece that used to be the hands for maxi-fig, bendy-arm

Nope. Stickers. I don't think this set has any decorated parts, other
than the technic guy.
