Oh, COME ON.
We go through this EVERY year. The new catalog comes out, people whine
about no Technic in it.
Technic is almost never listed in the first catalog of the year.
There WILL be some nice Technic sets this year, they're just going to
show in later catalogs, AS USUAL.
Trust me, there are some nice Technic sets coming this year (though, as
usual, it seems some of their set designers are TOTALLY colorblind, or
they're trying to get rid of excess ugly colors - the "fire truck" I've
seen is ghastly, it isn't red). I can't talk about the sets, though,
since Lugnet frowns on leaks of info ahead of time, sorry.

| Surely they are not remaking the 8280 Fire Engine and the 8235 Front End loader? I'd rather see the 951 Bulldozer, the 8853 Excavator, and the 8862 Backhoe brought back to life.
