(...) I think the parts that are softer today are gears, locking connectors and steering plates (I mean 1xN plates with two holes and teeth with N-2 studs) and yes I had very big problems with those steering plates and locking connectors. I have (...) (25 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.technic)

Awwww, come on! You can do it! Well, ok, so I got my 12-year-old nephew to do mine. I felt the same way you do, but I kept playing with it and finally I was able to complete all three. This may not be true, but I got the distinct impression that if (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

I'm trying to access the instructions for the 3 alternate models on the CD-ROM for this set. As far as I can tell, one needs to complete each "mission" to do this. Unfortunately, my video game skills aren't what they were 15 years ago and I'm having (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | Throwbot Scuba Error
|
|
I bought the throwbot Scuba and it has an odd error on the printing on the back. Just goto (URL) take a look at it. I have these questions- 1. Is it printed on all Scuba's? 2. Has anyone else seen this error before? Thanks, Abe (25 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.technic)

My, but those cheap digital cameras do have an odd habit of making red into pink, don't they? :o) Makes me wonder if more people would've bought an 8448 if it HAD been made in pink! ;-) -- Cheers ...

Confirmed, K-Mart has the RoboRiders on the shelves before everyone else. I just picked of 4 of the 6 at my local K. There's something I want to check now. Remember how Lego said Throwbot disk distribution was random but in reality each Throwbot (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

Don't know about where you live, but here in Australia, it's not really hard to pick up Flare. In fact, he is currently my first Slizer. Don't know yet if I'll pick up any more, I've currently got him disassembled in box while I try to figure out (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
