I spotted these last night: - K-Mart at 183/620 has about 10 silver anniversary buckets at normal price ($9.99) - Target at 183/620 has several Gungan Subs and Sith Infiltrators at around 40% off, along with some Cyberslam sets and a few misc small (...)

| | Interesting Castle on Ebay
|
|
I found an interesting castle set from saudi-arabia on ebay: (URL) looks like a variation on the Black Falcon Fortress. Any insights from the more knowledgeable folks here? I noticed that it was numbered 708. (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

| | Connecting Via a USB Hub
|
|
I have a USB Hub with an RS-232 port. When I connect the IR Transmitter to this port, the firmware downloads fine. If I have a program with a single RCX command block, it's fine too. If I have more than one command block, I get a download error. Any (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | USB->Serial Converts and IR Tower
|

Hi, I only have one serial port on my PC and it is currently hooked up to an external modem (PC slots are precious to me). So, I was planning on using an USB->Serial converter. Can anyone recommend a brand that has been proven to work with the IR (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | LEGO Fusion reopening...
|

Hi all! If you did not notice LEGO Fusion closed down just before X-Mas. Well the reopening will happen on 01/01/00 (Eastern Time). All of the pages have been fixed. There is a new model in the models section. The new services section has been (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

My own LEGO christmas was relatively tame. My older sister, her husband, my father, and I went in together to get Mindstorms for my nephew (and we managed to find a 1.0, and I ordered the upgrade for him). I got Dave Baum's book and 8735 Power Pack (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

If we end up going to sub-groups, I think I would rather see them split by function rather than by TLC's somewhat illogical theme grouping. I can see a point of having a separate group for discussing Arctic from the rest of town because not many (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.general)
