Now this is way cool but without trying to sound negative why the "Radio
Control Racer?". Seems like a very bizarre choice to me, I mean I can still
find it one the shelves at several local Toy stores in Massachusetts where
nothing seems to last very long after it is discontinued. My impression is
that it was a bad seller, so what makes LD think it can do better as an
exclusive?
Anyway, kudos on a great idea. I will probably get at least one of the other 6
sets for myself and I am not even that big into Technic. Just glad to see some
good old studded Technic Beams can still be found, I think TLC under utilizes
this great part that is not just a great Technic part but a great System part
as well.
Finally something a little exciting, I hope it can be extend to older "classic"
sets as well if this is a success.
