(...) I thought that the cyber slam sets weren't that bad but the throwbots/roboriders/bionicles are quite pathetic in my opinion. I thought that the Technic line was certainly moving in the right direction until some of the 1999 sets and the 2000 (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

Any guesses on how much money The Lego Group would make, overnight! if they re-released the JCB set, the old red tractor or the original test car or indeed any of the many other fantastic technic sets there used to be? I used to have these sets as a (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

While I agree that the Technic sets of late are slightly dumbed down from previous advanced sets I don't think we can condemn TLG as a whole. It seems that the ingenuity that went into sets like 8880 is now being spent on Mindstorms. And you have to (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

What a top set that would be Duq. But how about 8850 truck and 8862 JCB. Perhaps each limited edition issue could be a collection of types of model. Set no 1 could include the parts for all of the super size cars, Set 2 for all of the planes, set (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
