Well, I'll write them regardless, I haven't bought a set in a while to keep
as a model, so I guess I just don't write them anymore. That and the good
sets seem to disappear very quickly.

I didn't mind them that much. The 8250 Search Sub stickers weren't really
that cool, so I left them off, but most of the time with a Technic model
I'll put the stickers on as long as they don't cover more than one brick.

I just went and looked at it again, and using the handy dandy Piece of Paper
Measuring Tool (aka, 8.5x11") it was the length of the page and another half
or so, so it would put it a little under 18". According to the website,
the overall length is 450mm.

I could see how it could be used for easily building crown gearboxes. They
seem underused in the 8466.

DOH. That's what you get for writing Lego reviews at 3AM. That was my
biggest beef about the 8448-only one differential (rearwheel drive).
