TLG Selling Two TECHNIC FIGURES Now (Set 8300)

[DLuders]

For several years, folks have been bemoaning the fact that large TECHNIC Figures have not appeared in recent Technic sets. There was a older Eurobricks post that lamented this fact: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...&hl=figures . I was glad to see a bright blue Technic Figure in mahjqa's recent "Karbargenbok" MOC: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40095 .

According to pictures on the Bricklink Catolog list http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=technic+figure , there were several different Technic Figures made.

Please note that The Lego Group is now selling two TECHNIC FIGURES on their website http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=8300 . Alas, they are not available in the US, but use the dropdown list on the top of that webpage to see the many countries that they ARE sold in. Lego fans living in the US can get them from Bricklink and eBay international sellers. Here's what they look like with their helmets off:

Bricklink lists them as Part Numbers "tech016" and "tech017", respectively: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=tech016 and http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=tech017 . They were originally issued as "Action Figures" Set 8300 in 2000-2002, and sold for US$11 in 2000. Peeron has an inventory of the various parts: http://peeron.com/inv/sets/8300-1 .

I would like to get this set, but it came out 10 years ago. I would be very surprised if TLG actually has them in stock anywhere today. Even the seats for these figures disappeared from Technic sets many years ago. This is probably just a leftover page on the S@H website.

Yes, leftover pics on the server:

No country has them so move along, nothing to see !

I remember those Technic figures, I still have one, they are very nice

How much are the figures?

Ooh, sorry about my getting faked out by the old TLG Shop images! My apologies. One can always find these Technic Figures for sale on Bricklink, though: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=8300 . The prices don't seem unreasonable....
