I don't think it has a set number as it is not a Lego product per se, rather
a licensed deal with a book publisher called Klutz (they are genuine Lego
pieces). The book is called Lego Crazy Action Contraptions and has about 60
Technic pieces with instructions to build 10 models, 5 with the included
pieces and another 5 with bricks you should already have at home. It was
published in the US in 1998 and has been available in Aus for over a year, I
looked at it several times in a local discovery knick knack type shop but at
~$42 then I thought it was way overpriced for the contents and left it.
Since then I've only seen it at DSE where I think it is $49.95.
www.dse.com.au has a description.
From what I remember of it the Technic pieces aren't all that exciting,
beams, gears, rubberbands. A serious Technic collector might like to have
it for completion or novelty value but if it's just parts you're after I
don't think it's worth the price, but YMMV. But I agree with Ross, it looks
like a good way to get kids creatively started on Technic.
