The Ultimate Builders Set has been around since 2001 and is a mere expansion to
the RIS.
You can't say Technic's dead based on the winter catalouge, Technic sets is
almost always announced in the summer. And the 8460 crane re-release from S@H
is one of the most Technic sets around with a lot of good parts.
There will be good times for the Technic folks this year, as previously
discussed here in general. I wont go into details since it's against Lugnet
Terms of Use.

Personally I have enough parts in the Technic genre for the moment and seeks
more and more standard pieces, believe it or not. And I think the StarWars line
has a lot of good pieces in different colors, but the license makes them
impossible to buy at full retail.

Page 24 in the Swedish version, I even remember that, drooled over the pages
a lot!
