(...) NO KIDDING! "8459 follows the footsteps of 8460, rises to godly stature" We can now proclaim the 843x block taken by 2004 Technic sets and reissues! W00t! (Yes I know about 8432=8428 and 8437, just conveniently ignoring them) Keith (20 years ago, 16-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Capacitors
 
(...) They can demonstrate energy storage. Wire together a capacitor and a motor (put a nice wheel on the motor so you have a way to turn the axle).

  Re-Re-Release: Pneumatic Front-End Loader
 
I visited LEGOLAND Deutschland last Saturday, and while browsing through the City Shop...I discovered an 8459/8464 in the new 2004 Technic-style packaging.
