Is that price right? $6499? Or should that be, maybe, $64.99...? Just wondering, not criticizing, yah? I don't have a super-car, so I don't count anyhow ;-) -Shiri (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

I just ordered some pneumatics from S@H and Michael is correct that the 5110 set is discontinued and they do still have 5108 pistons. I also got several 5117 compressor pump kits. No mention was made that 5117 would be discontinued. Dave (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Cool!
