| | | | | | The US release date is unknown. I'm sure the release date will appear in the US in-box Technic Lego Direct brochure. As soon as someone gets one of the larger 99 Technic sets (which have not yet shown up in stores), we should see this brochure, and (...) (26 years ago, 10-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

You may be right about those funny side plates, (the curved ones with longitudinal holes) but the rest of it seems like standard moderen technic, Those smooth bent beams appear in most of the sets now, and the use of various flexible pipes to (...)

I think the two small panels in the front are the same, just rotated w.r.t. each other. The same goes for the two large panels in the back. Of (...) (26 years ago, 11-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
