(...) I don't think that this is meant to be a substitute for the pneumatic system. It's just a fancier shock absorber. [ ft -> .technic ] (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Why Lego, Why
 
Is that like those compressed-air automatic door dampeners and closers? IMHO, that's a really poor substitute for real pneumatics, and is in no way hydraulic. I don't mean to be sounding mad or anything, but can't TLG stick with something that (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Why Lego, Why
 
(...) They have new cylinders which they call hydraulic. They're actually spring-based shock absorbers with a pneumatic cushion -- no real hydraulics involved at all. And unlike the old pneumatic system, they can't be interconnected. (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Why Lego, Why
 
Hydraulics? I can't ever remember seeing any mention of LEGO developing hydraulics. If they are going to be using hydraulics, though, I think they'd better be using better hoses and fittings, fluid isn't that easy to hold under pressure. -- Cheers (...)

  Why Lego, Why

I ordered from it and over half the stuff was discontinued. I was TICKED OFF! I (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: What are LD's "40 basic elements"?
 
(...) Same here. If I get enough in grey, who needs other colours anyhow? ;) I might have a use for a little black and white, but not a lot. I tried to make my contribution to Jason's list as complete as possible, but I keep thinking of things I (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
