I thought the 8448 had been discontinued, that's what Lego S@H told me. My dampened shocks broke, I got replacements and one of the replacements have the same number as the defective ones. Anyone know if the new generation should have different (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I made a stop by Target today to make sure they hadn't lowered their clearance prices anymore, and they had the 8007 C3PO. $29.97. I just got through assembling the set. First my rants :) This set would have been much better if there had been more (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

I don't know exactly when this occurred (since the mid 90's was my LEGO Dark Ages) but I'm sure somebody on here does. Anyway, if (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

This could just be something to do with the sets I have, but I noticed that many sets before 1995 seem to have really stiff and strong pieces. They take a lot more strength to join but once connected, they stay on very tightly. Some models I got in (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
