Hey Y'all: Okay, so once I finally saw one of these Bionickle cannisters cracked open and strewn about the shelf of a local store I got curious to own one.

What I would like Lego to do is make more pictures and descriptions available. How much would it cost them to post a few more pictures of 8466 (and others, too) on the Net or simply put more text descriptions? We could get a better look at the beast (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic)

You're right, it does look like the 32186 of the 8448! When I look closely at the main photo, I can see some bevel gears, but it's not clear enough if they are within a diff housing above a 16 tooth gear and did something like what was done to the (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic)
