Hey, did anyone see the new minifig pack that's coming out in 2000. It has all five minifigs, Yes, even the orange guy that comes only in the largest set. I'm not really into RR, but I think the figs are cool, and they work good as Star Wars (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.underground)

(...) I wouldn't think so, no. Expert Builder and Technic are/were the same product line, just different names -- synonyms for the same products. That is, what was once long ago known as "Expert Builder" was later renamed to "Technic" (I forget (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.underground, lugnet.technic)

Todd - Should there be an 'Expert Builder' category near/around Technic? I've got a few of them (like the first car, and that blue go-cart) and box says 'Expert Builder' and not Technic. Just wondering. Tom (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.underground)

Todd, How do you know Lego is going doing more Underground themes? Was it stated or hinted at in a piece of literature somewhere? Just curious. Any guesses as to what the theme for 2000 will be (if there is a new one?) Let's see, if there were (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.underground)
