The new power packs are nice but I don't see shocks anyplace in the new sets. Is the last set to have shocks the Super Street Sensation. It's good to see the Pneumatic parts make a return with a blue air tank to boot and at a reasonable price. (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Let me guess: You are planning to build the Slizers in all-black? BTW: The double length friction pin with bushing originally appeared in black. The other colours have appeared later. Fredrik (25 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
