 | | SuperCar in Ottawa?
|
|
Anyone know where I can find 8448 - the red SuperCar in the Ottawa region? I'm looking for the 16-tooth gear that rotates freely around the axle and I heard it comes in that set? Thanks, Kevin (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)

For $40 (marked down from $90) you can get the 3038 CyberSlam set at PlayValue. It comes with quite a few beams, shocks, and a motor - it's cheaper than the motor set by itself. They also have quite a lot of the Droid Developer Kits for $50. Cheers, (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)
