This is great news! So far it was looking like it was going to a sad year for Technic (OK, so call me a Bionicle Burner -just hate those sets) but this has helped me revive my spirits for 2K2.

No, the regular Bahrak do not have these new friction pegs, but they do have a new non-friction 3L peg (in light gray as expected). "Huw Millington" <hmillington@cix.co.uk> wrote in message news:Gqrsux.EM4@lugnet.com... (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
