Great Work Eric ! 1992 was the first year of my dark ages and i've been trying to acquire these kits for some time now. Your work gives me insight into the mechanics of this fantastic period of Technic. Steve (16 years ago, 12-Jan-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I have now added the sets from 1992 to Technicopedia including 8826, 8828, 8836, 8837, 8839, and the great 8868. 8868 was a tremendous amount of work, but I hope you'll agree that it was worth it.
