(...) Babelfish does a half-reasonable job at translation on this one - babelfish.altavista.com use the website translation, it dynamically translates the whole site. ROSCO (23 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) (URL)Of course, it looks cheap, the colors stink, there isn't the level of detail (...) IMHO all clone brands are S&*^! for the reasons you have just stated and many more! I wouldn't taint my Lego with them. Steve Lane (23 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) Well, The <set:8422> wheels are aprox. 83mm in diameter (with the tires), so what I would want is more like 120+mm. - David (24 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) [...] (...) It looks more like <set:8422> than 8417. On the other hand, it has "real-working rear suspension", but no gears, chains, engines, etc. -- mechanisms that make the Technic 8417 and 8422 so enjoyable. In terms of functionality, this (...)

(...) That set doesn't look too different from the old Mag Wheel Master (URL) a model team motorcycle would be something Lego hasn't done before. (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
 
  Re: Ideas for new sets? (re: motorcycles)
 
(...) I just found a new mega blok set that is along the lines of what I wish LEGO would make.

  Re: Ideas for new sets?
 
(...) A Model Team race bike! Now that's a great idea! I think an UCS bike set with a considerable number of pieces would be even better. LEGO would probably need to create a new wheel for it - the wheels on the <set:8422> are not big enough for (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
 
  Re: Model Team Decline

(...) No they shouldn't, perhaps they should ask the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.modelteam)
