(...) We should leave them in France :-) (...) I also think a slightly fairer system of where you refrain from buying set if you've already got one, for example I would want a Metroliner and also the Club cars but since I already have two Club Cars (...)

  Re: Duplex Comms with RCX
 
(...) I just haven't found a non-intrusive method for keeping the tower alive. I hate transmitting garbage every few seconds and possibly trampling incoming data. I'm also not sure this is a very good long-term solution. Really a general purpose (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.tele, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: German Halftrack, Armored Car, etc. etc ...
 
(...) While attention to scale certainly is important, the appearance is probably even more important. And your models really look realistic! Given the choice to incorporate minifigs at all, there is probably no other solution than to build at (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: LEGO Pneumatics

  Re: Looking for Roof Pieces
 
Yippee! Thanks so much for the info. It just so happens I got a Robo Raptor for Christmas a couple years ago, and it's been sitting in storage ever since. Not anymore. I never thought I'd find the parts in my own inventory. Well, off to buy some (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

  Re: German Halftrack, Armored Car, etc. etc ...
 
(...) Amazing stuff! I've built a remarkably similar jeep (in black), but mine is a little bigger and uses lots of curves and tiles for a smoother finish. I guess it's still a work in progress, though, since I've got one big problem: I need a 6-wide (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: LEGO Pneumatics
 
(...) Uhhh... they still stock them in Denmark, certainly. I had an order through just this week. I ordered it from the UK service centre, but the pack came from Denmark.

Fair enough...Don't worry if you can't find the 7161..I'll leave it till the next sale.[However, if you can get it at the discounted price you listed previously [$59.90 I think you said], that would be OK. Benjamin Whytcross (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
 
  More Znap info please
 
I have been following this Znap thread. Even went to local TRU in Toronto to inquire - the sales associate gave me a look as if I was Znapped :>) What is Znap or a Znap motor? Are they available in the Toronto area? (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics)
