'All yellow': 1989 First appearance and introduction of the 8862 in the Dutch Lego-Catalog (pic 38&39): (URL) 1990: Cap color changed to black. First seen in the German/French/Italien catalogue. Also the 8854 has the newer black-cap cylinders in (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

A year ago I made a page for these differences, explaining it to one of my technic-set buyers. I'll upload the page again, for about a week or two. Everybody CHECK IT OUT =>> end of doubts and discussions about this! For now... :-) In my BB-shop I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yup! although you do also get 2 pairs of them in the rather cheaper 8465. I was forgetting that the shocks are unique (AFAIK) in that they are more stiffly sprung than the normal long-travel shocks found in 8880 etc, in the same way that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Also the new thin decorative panels aren't very common (yet). And the wheels are only found in the power puller (AFAIK). ROSCO (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The main new parts are the compact 4WD/4WS cv joints to replace those used in 8880. So far, the only set to use them. (As 8880 was with its version) Very nice! Pics here: (URL) regards, Chris (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

I am wondering if this set have new parts. I am asking for parts that you can not find in a cheaper set, or in older sets (including star wars, and star wars technic). The color is not important. Maybe the shocks, the spring is different, but could (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm surprised to hear that. At Legoland Windsor the stuff walks off the shelves as soon as it's put out. They've had all sorts of pens, rulers, mugs, t-shirts, badges, keyrings etc. and none of it has been in stock for more than a couple of (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Hello All (...) regular (...) For as far as I know these elements are the same. Just the color at the top-side is black on newer sets. The first sets with these type of pneumatic all had yellow cylinders. After a few years (I do not know how many) (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I have an all yellow cylinder and pump from the 8044. I didn't know they were 'special'. I guess all of the other new pneumatic cylinders have the black caps. The old pneumatics had some wierd colour variations as well. Most of the cylinders (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Oh, no kidding on the other stuff. When I was at LLC a few weeks ago they still had bins of stuff, I was able to pick up the last 2 "Limited Edition" pens. but the other "school supplies" isn't moving. I hear "clearance sale" on those soon. (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
