Well, I don't know if an official day exists (I do know there is a day for minifigs), but I hauled the R996 to work with me today. (URL) been a lot of fun showing it to everyone. I guess it's good practice for the trip to Brickfest. TJ (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Adr. Lego Company seems to have forgotten about the best sets they have ever offered. The larger more difficult Technic sets seem to have vanished. Maybe I will have to go toEuropean sources to find Eitech or Merkur sets that are challenging. (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)

8475 RC Race Buggy – A quick initial review This is a 27 MHz remote control vehicle set. It isn’t called Technic, but it is primarily composed of Technic parts, some new, at least to me. The transmitter has two thumb control joy sticks, one up/down (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.technic)
