I hate to ask this question, but I just can't work it out from the DB or the
the technic website... What is the best set to buy to get some micromotors? I
know now that the space shuttle set has one (wish I'd known that when I saw one
on clearance!). Are there any technic sets which have micromotors? Should I
just buy from Pitsco or S&H?
And as long as I'm asking a what-set-to-buy question, how about pneumatics?
I'm thinking about the 8479 Barcode Truck, the 8462 Tow Truck (also has 6 of
those fabulous wheels), the 8446 Crane Truck (green is my favorite color, must
get green lego!), and the 8445 Indy Storm. The pneumatics are a bit pricey
from Pitsco so I figured I might as well get a bunch of other bricks with
them. I'm looking for both big and little cylinders, the new style pumps,
switches and of course tanks (the Tow Truck has 2!).
