(...) Man...I just checked out the UK S@H area and you're right; they seem to have all the old service packs (the 1988-1991 ones) available. I can't believe they still manufacture the 2x2 square pistons, the old pre-1994 differentials and those (...) (24 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
