Not much to talk about yet regarding the technic seen in the BrickShelf scans, but I notice one of the RoboRiders introduces yet another colour: light/lime green. Huw (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah, I saw that myself. I mentioned it in the thread on lugnet.general about the all the colors of bricks. I wonder about those new RoboRiders. How, exactly, do they 'shoot'? "Huw Millington" <hmillington@cix.co.uk> wrote in message (...) (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That's a fairly safe bet -- the US/NA in-box System catalogs typically *don't* include much of the Technic Line. There's an entirely separate Technic catalog, which doesn't usually show up as soon as the System catalog. Steve (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic)

Any guesses as to what's in store for the 84xx line this year? Any predictions? Any wishes? I'm thinking that with all the models we saw last year, there will probably be at most 3 new 84xx sets this year. For some reason, I keep hoping that the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I would say we might get 3-4 new 84xx sets. But this probably depends on how many "Tech Play" models that appear. I wouldn't say that the large number of Technic sets in other lines necessarily indicate that we'll get fewer 84xx sets. Keep in (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.technic)
