SNIPE, the issue with the old Axle and Pin Connector 3651 and Axle and Pin Connector Toggle Joint Toothed 4273a (with/without slots) are the fact that they crack quite often :( Well basically it is the main issue with old technic parts that within the years the plastic loose it "softness" and crack.... it happend with most of my 3651/4273a/9244 (Un.Joint.4L) .... :( I think that the wheel with split axle hole 3482 you shown has been discontined in 2006 I took a look at the inventories and I think that the oldest part for sure are all BLACK AXEL 4,6,8,10 they go back to 1977 and are still in the sets of today. Regards

Norton74 nice, amizing ... I noticed a lot of beer :) realism is the best ....

After my son was born, one day I was looking at my only set that remained from time before dark age, which was the 8862. I look at it, and as it was in poor condition I wanted to rebuild it for my son in future and I got addicted , again :)

Thanks PhyBuilder - actually I was thinking on this part as the one that I refer to as "other" but I was under impression ( I do not kno why) there are some difference between black and gray worm gears :)Thanks again Regards

Paweł, sorry to be naive but what is the difference between regular worm gear and "other" ?

Emil, I am greate fan of the "classic" Lego Technic, the new parts as practical and usefull they are they simply do not make the building challenging as the OLD do :) I noticed that even new part are giving possibilities that old could not, people are trying still to create their custom parts as well. Currently I am collecting old sets that either I had before DarkAge or were always my dream - such as 8865 - and I will start to do my own MOC and MODs I wonder, does any one know which Lego Technic part is the oldest in use? Please do not consider those that have been updated - such as old z24 gear vs new z24 or famous black pins - without and with slot example - Regards

This set looks very nice and it is well shaped - but what I cannot understand why there is no diferential ? No space for it? Too expensive?

New super car would be nice, especially if it wóuld be a sedan :) or any other familiar car like the first one ever made by Lego : 853/956 Auto Chassis : 1. either FWD or AWD (remember 8880) 2. could be a Volvo S80 for example .... 3. new suspension system = McPherson 4. cold be a Citroen C5 = "pneumatic"suspension regards

AWD drive system from 8880 Grearbox from 8880 Pneumatic+Compresor+9V from 8868 Chassis durability from 8865 - my 1,4 year son drop it from 1meter high, has sit on it, and the set still works and is intact !!! Playability from 8862 - I got it when I was 12 years old and still have it.

Hello all, I have recently returned from Dark Age.
