(...) I'm wondering how you arrived at your conclusion Gregory? Do you own any of the 2003 Technic sets? The new small yellow sets introduced in 2004, ie. the 8451 dump truck, and 8453 front-end loader are great and affordable sets, with good (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)

Worse is the fact they are basically the same exact set! Some small detail changes and different colors, but otherwise the same. What are the chances that the re-re-released set this year will be $40 cheaper than the 8461? :) It is more likely that (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)

Another supercar would be great but not at $150.00+ Why is the silver champ 8458 $170.00 and Williams F1 8461 was only $129.99? The tries and wheels from the new 8436 look like the 62.4mmx20mm Bar code trucks. Any body know if they are the same or (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm sure the 2004 sets will bring back some fond memories from the past. (8425, 5590, 8872, 8462 anyone?) Now some thoughts on 8436: I don't see any new parts on it except maybe the pneumatics from our beloved backhoe. But look at how the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.technic)
