Yeah, that was Jin Sato's. It's featured in his book on Mindstorms, and on
his site:

Oh, wow!!  If that set is even half as good as it looks in the picture, • that
will be one set everyone will be scrambling to pick up!!

Mind you, I do hope they don't expect to put a $390 price tag on it and
expect people to pay that much for it!!  Mind you, I'm in Australia, I
suppose that could be half as expensive if you're in the USA or wherever.

Cheers ...

Take a look at • <http://collectibles.echostation.com/fbtb/2/techmind07.jpg>.

See the dog? Is it MIBO?

If we can really build that dog out of the box, then RIS 2.0 might as • well
be the best Technic Universal set Lego has ever released. Look at the
rotation sensor, the shock absorbers, and all those turn tables!

(By the way, I heard that the new yellow shock absorbers included in • 8458
are stiffer than the old ones. I'd like to have a bunch of these new • shock
absorbers but I am not going to spend over $160 for a pair. :-) Anybody
likes to part a set of 8458 with me?)

Cheers,

(...) I take that back. Apparently Jin Sato didn't make that, he just talked about it in the book. I guess I never really noticed MIBO in that picture before. *feeling dumb* sorry... -jeremiah- (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)
