Hey, how about that! We've got some new gear motors to complement the popular Mini Metal Gear Motors (the GM11a, GM12a, GM13a, GM14a, GM18 and yes, even the mutant GM19).

Are you ready?
18-PIN DIP CARRIERS! WOOOHOO!
*ahem* It's kinda hard to get really excited by those, but they're still pretty useful nonetheless.
Anyways forks, have a great weekend and enjoy what's left of February!
