Ooops! Sorry! Didn't know you had to 'fess up to a teeny weeny bit of modification in a MOC ;) Yeah, I'm one of a few, it seems, who like to do what the Lego designers do - make new parts for new models. So yes, that crown gear has had the boss (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(URL) have never seen that particular crown gear before. I've been in Technic since my go-cart circa 1979 and have a variety of different crown gears (including the black ones from early 80's) but that one is just weird. It has this curvy surface (...)

Well, I went to go over and check out some of those New York Toy Fair 2002 previews, and you know, the new sets they showed are incredibly disappointing. But here's another weird one: I don't care.
