You're right, the disks are not random. The picture on the box shows exactly which disks you get. Boxes of five discs are $2.50 from Lego Shop at Home. (Incedentally, so are boxes of four RoboRider wheels.) The website (URL) has a technic magazine (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Here's the link for those disks: (URL) I've only seen them once, at Zainy Brainy in Canoga Park, Ca. That was close to 6 months ago. I wished I'd picked them up at the time just on the basis that I'd never seen them before. Oh, well... -Dave (25 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

Does anyone know why the gears in the gearbox on this model are rounded like that? Why didn't TLG use standard gears? Mike (25 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

You're right. There are no instructions for some of the segments in the combined Throwbots. One can only guess it's left as an exercise for the student. It's not terribly difficult to figure out once you get into it, but the only tricky part is that (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) As can almost anything "plastic": the primary active ingredient in nail polish remover is acetone. Nasty stuff, to be used with caution. I'm not sure what it'll do to ABS, but I wouldn't do the test on any piece I cared about... Ran (25 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

A small addendum to this. Most cyanoacrylates can be dissolved off with nail polish remover. It seems to be the same stuff that emergency wards use to remove the superglue. Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde Thomas D Fulk Jr <tfulkjr@mail.idt.net> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

I have used with success (This is a US Brand, but read on) Loctite 495. This is a "professional" type of Cyanoacrylate glue, AKA Superglue in America. Go to your hobbyshop and get a high quality Cyanoacrylate, as the Discount store variety is not (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
