Has no one done a revue on the bar code multiset truck? Its a pretty pricey Technic kit, but it does look interesting. My questions: How many motors? Can the controller steer as well as drive? What triggers the "grabber" than can be used? Other (...) (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.reviews)

I'm really enjoying the Adventurer's theme (though the '98 sets are considerably better than the '99 sets in my opinion). Here are the top models (again in my opinion): 5909 - Treasure Raiders Really just a minifig pack but the biplane and car are (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

I had only bought the 6909-Sonic Stinger but just picked up the 6919-Planetary Prowler (at a discount price) and I find myself liking the Insectoids sub-theme more than I thought I would. I'm seriously looking at picking up more of the sets on (...) (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.space, lugnet.reviews, lugnet.underground)

(...) Good review. You were right on in your assessment of the mechanicals and building of the set--it's not at all complicated mechanically, but it shows the builder a *lot* of different building techniques. Steve (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.reviews)

Does anyone have a review of this set? It's int he latest S@H catalog, and while I'm not really a trainhead, this one looks pretty cool. Comments? (I don't mind that it doesn't come with track or a speed regulator. I don't have the space to set it (...) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.reviews)

Ok here is my first post to Lugnet.
