(...) I guess I meant: what did you learn from being on the *inside* that informs your attitudes about the company overall and/or how to deal with them? (...)

Ditto. If it has separate components, I'll probably buy several, but if not, I won't even buy one. Separate components could be so useful for past Model Team and Supercar sets. (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Sun ONE Internet Technical Support, Sun (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

If you're right it might be the base unit from 5599 in a technic overcoat... Indeed it would be disappointing. I was hoping for a generic receiver that could drive any motor... Duq "J G Gregory" <jgg@ultranet.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Here are some short answers, for now.. (...) no. (...) I didn't disclose anything while I worked for TLC (1996-1999), but it's not a secret anymore. I worked for R&D. LEGO Futura, Boston office.

I would also like to get more official info on this, but by inspection and from what they have made in the past, it is almost certainly a one-piece receiver, battery pack, drive-and-steer motor combo. It may not even be proportional steering, but it (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Dear Jake, Brad and other TLC representatives, I just noticed that Model Team has now completely disappeared from the s@h site. I just wonder why...
