(URL) was having an unusual wave of nostalgia the other day and put together the first auto chassis--956.

(...) Very nice work! 854 was also my first technic set! When I first saw your "Marie" doll/figure I had to have one myself. That was almost 2 years ago! She is still in my modified 8448. Nice couch. I had sheets like your box liner A long long time (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I love your modified 8448--that's a pretty big engine on the thing--as well with the fibre optics--nice touch! I couldn't keep the engine in the 8448 attached to the drive train after the modifications for RC'ing. So when the car moves around, (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.technic)

I really liked the 854 too, but I definitely think you need the number "9" or "6" sticker on the front of each! Jennifer (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

(...) That much is certain. They look a little nekkid without the number. I have a label maker at work and I'll get the numbers printed off just as soon as I get there. My original sticker disappeared, oh, about 1980. Eh, back then I didn't think (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

(...) Are you bringing these to the show? I'd like to see the bulldozer, having wanted one when i was a kid. I probably have all the parts to build one now, but that's not the same as having the actual set, and I'd like to see one that's together. (...)

(...) Just as an aside - if you have your set list entered on lugnet, or on Peeron, you can find out if you have the parts for the bulldozer: (URL) myself, I seem to have all the parts except the treads :) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
