Same here; some of the older sets really came with tons of beams as compared
to today sets...two that comes to mind are 8880 and 8485...

Oddly enough, I had the exact same idea. :-) It wold be nice if they
designed a monster truck version of a super car (large size, transmission,
4-wheel drive, suspension, etc). The only monster trucks I can think of that
were released are the 8816 Off-Road rambler and the 8858 Rebel Wrecker...it
would be nice to have another one...

Yeah, I would also like to see more models with those polarity switches. As
far as I know, the only Technic sets that included these were the 8082
universal set and the 8480 Space shuttle. Pneumatics would also be nice...
I think engines is one place where the newer models really shine in. The
8279 4WD X-track has a V4, 8458 Silver champion has
a V10 and the 8457 Power Puller includes 20 (!) engine parts that can be
configured in various ways.
It would be also nice to have a Control Center 3 set. The second Control
Center was released about 5 years after the first, and it's been almost 6
years since then.
