 | | New crane for 2005?
|
|
This guy on brickshelf gathered together these pics of new kits for this year. This model team crane has a hollow boom that would make building a telescopic crane easier. I wonder if a bimba piston would fit in there? Happy new year all! (URL) (20 years ago, 1-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Now these look good! Too bad they don't have lenses. Lego needs to make bendable window pieces that can be buckled to fit any shape. This would solve many problems with technic sets since they never have windshields. What about the solar panels for (...) (20 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.technic)
