Hi all, I just sent Kevin some scans of my dutch version of 872. I checked 872 in the gallery, and I'm almost sure it's actually an 870 booklet that's in there. Am I mad or were the american sets numbered differently? As far as I know 870 was the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi all, I've seen pics of those new service pack 5218-22, the pneumatc, wheels, styling, motor, chassis packs. Anyone know where I can find the inventories? By the looks of them I'd be most interested in 5218 (Pneumatic) and 5219 (Wheels), unless (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
