Jun 24, 2020 at 4:28 comment added jamesdlin Why is 8858-2 used for the older set? Is it just that 8858-1 was added to some database first? Personally I think it would be more sensible to omit the -1 until there's a numbering collision, or distinguish them by release release (e.g. "8858 (1980)" and "8858 (1994)").

Jun 23, 2020 at 3:39 comment added Will That Engines Expert Builder Set looks really nice for such a limited number of pieces. I wish more modern sets would replicate mechanical engineering solutions like that with simple building blocks, instead of applying excessive attention to visual detail with weirdly shaped custom parts that are almost un-reusable in any other configuration.
