I fully agreed with you. Ofcourse Lego may make such sets but not as a replacement for the "old-style" sets. Maybe they should make every year a model for the "old childs"? (A nice Technic set with a lot of gears and nice mechanism) A few month ago (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

It went all wrong when they replaced the technic connector toggle joint by those 6 angle connectors. Where with 2 standard pieces you could make every angle you want, where now you could have a hundred #3 angle connectors spare and just need one #2 (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Just ring your nearest Lego service centre (see your catalogue), and tell them that you require replacements and they will ship them to you. Lego know that these parts are faulty in some sets, they just can't tell you which ones. Martin ----- (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

I wholeheartedly agree with you here...the newer Technic lines aren't moving the right direction. I think that the last relatively complex set was the 8446 Crane Truck, which packet a good amount of functions into a medium-sized package. But aside (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi. I just looked in one of the spare parts catalogs in a set I have, and it has a small(er) battery box that looks like it takes one of those square 9v batteries. Is there such a thing? What set(s) does it come in? Thanks ROSCO (25 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.technic)
