    Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Steve Bliss
   (...) Actually, there are four different sizes. Small and medium are fairly common in the last few years (but I'm guessing we won't see them again soon). Large wheels appeared in a few sets, but I don't remember any after the post-Classic Space (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Jon Palmer
    (...) Actually it looks like the new Watto's junkyard set has 4 red ones. I can't tell from the picture if they're are large or medium. Also, didn't the insectoid set planetary prowler have 2 large blue ones? -Jon (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)

         Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Kyle Keppler
     The wheels in wattos junkyard are of the medium size (the middle ones in this set: (URL) So if the ones at eh back are large, and the ones on the mcm are super-large, then these are medium...

   (...) Set (URL) had 4 blue medium wheels and 2 large blue wheels. I realize a lot of people didn't like the Insectoids, but I thought this one was a neat giant space cricket. :) Steve (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Wayne McCaul
     Okay, I've been sort of following this threat for a while and I'm utterly lost. Are there three or four sizes of the plastic tires? If there are four - and the MCM has these super giant wheels - doesn't it seem odd that Lego didn't use the MCM (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Tim Courtney
     (...) There are four sizes of wheels - small (smallest space vehicles), medium (mid-size space vehicles, like the M:Tron Celestial Forager), large (BTII Spectral Starguider, SPI Spy Trak, 2 on Unitron Crater Cruiser), and giant (M:Tron Multi Core (...)

   (...) Hey, how many studs across were the MCM wheels? I think I have six in a collection that I got from a dark-ager over the holidays. They do make spiffy engine cowls!

   (...) 5 or 6 studs, I think. I've got a bunch, but they're all at home. :\ -Tim (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Jon Palmer
   (...) This'll probably further complicate matters but they have got to be bigger than that. A quick measurement of the large wheels makes them around 7 studs in diameter. I've always been curious how big those wheels were, I never owned the MCM, my (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Missing Multicore wheel —Tim Courtney
     (...) I interpreted 'studs across' as the width of the wheel, not the diameter. The diameter of a giant wheel should hover around 10 studs, I think. I wish I had one on hand to measure. -Tim (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.space)
