(...) I would have ascribed it to the USB to serial converter, but I also see this on the Sun with a real serial port. This is what makes me think it's a problem with my RCX or IR tower.

(...) I got the 8428 for the wheels too, and then I bought the 8462 as well. The 8428 is an okay set. The back end is very flimsy. It can barely hold together if you apply enough force to actually deflect the springs. If you try to drive this from (...) (26 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)

The Chopper is a too big, but not ridiculous looking with minifigs in it. It only looks silly next to some of the other minifig choppers they have, which are way too small for the role they play. (Police choppers and med choppers are much larger (...) (26 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.modelteam)

A couple of people have already given some good legal advice (like Kevin Loch). But when it comes down to it, they're not going to risk huge court expense and bad pr by actually doing anything about it. I would give them a nice friendly "screw you" (...)
