(...) Yes, that's the set I was talking about, but I was wrong. It's actually set (URL) "Mobile Rocket Transport" that has the black ones. Eight of 'em, to be precise. (...) That's a mistake, because they definitely have 6 grey ones. --Bill. (25 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.database)
