What I would like Lego to do is make more pictures and descriptions
available. How much would it cost them to post a few more pictures of 8466
(and others, too) on the Net or simply put more text descriptions? We could
get a better look at the beast and tell for sure what new and old parts are
available.

I'll tell you, if I knew for sure exactly what parts came with 8466, it
would help my decision to buy it or not. As it is, I'm waiting for a fellow
Lugnetter to get theirs and then tell us all about it.

Oh well, I don't mean to complain. I'm excited about the new sets (8465,
8466)and I'm glad that they're not too specialized/juniorized.
