The 8448 Supercar, 8466 4x4, and the 8457 Power Puller. I think they all
have two of each, the Power Puller may have more. They are are fairly
expensive (depending on what you consider expensive), like $100 US or so
each. But they all have a lot of real Technic parts (beams and such) that
you may want. I don't know much about 8448 availability now, its a few years
old. I think TLC needs to make more real Technic vehicles and parts. Some
Technic parts packs with gears, beams, axles would be nice. Also some more
powerful motors even, pulley, pneumatics, etc., also. Has anyone ever gotten
positive response from Lego about a recommendation you've sent them? Maybe
they'll listen (hehehe). This new Lego stuff makes me say "What were they
thinking?", sometimes. You really can't make anything that looks like
something with these newer parts. But hey, I've called US S@h and asked to
buy individual parts, and they were fairly acceptive to my request. I only
had to pay shipping and handling.

Sorry for the semi-off topic rant.

| Since I'm getting more and more into the Technic stuff I'm trying to build models which can operate like the real ones. I have many, many Technic sets but 95% of them are from the period 1977 to approx. 1999. Since then I haven't bought Technic sets (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)
