 | | Re: A load of balls
|
| I checked out the Nerf balls that are about the same size as the LEGO ones, but they are much denser and harder. I was surprised. They probably shoot much better than the super light foam ones, though. I got a wicked pile of Ping Pong balls that are (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: Mindstorms in New York Times
|
| I figure LEGO must owe you about a million dollars. Getting this kind of publicity before Christmas in the New York Times is worth a ton of money. But not at all to take away from your acheivement. You earned the recognition. But tell us: how did (...) (23 years ago, 11-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Re: Need Advice on Getting Started
|
| Conrad, hands down, don't hesitate to get a "real" RIS set. Really. You will be disappointed with any other, and you won't be with the RIS. You should be able to find it on sale. I heard of them going for $130 at BestBuy near here, and this was the (...) (23 years ago, 24-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | New hinge/joint element?
|
| Check out (URL) some of its links. The pictures are not quite good enough to see how the thing is made, but it appears the ankles, knees and elbows are made of the same joint. It looks like a trapped ball with through-axle. --Jack Gregory (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: 1.5 Upgrade -how?
|
| Well, I want to check out the 1.5 software (may have to use it for FLL next year), and don't really have another choice. The price isn't a problem, it is the fact that while it says "24 Hours", you get completely different companies depending on (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | 2000 Technic in WalMart

| I was amazed to see a Battle Droid at Walmart today, just lying on a shelf. Looked like a lot of 2000 stuff was there, but there was only one droid. Usually the LEGO aisle at Walmart is fairly picked over this close to Christmas, but it was well (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

| I scored six Dark Side Developer Kits at CompUSA this AM (Braintree, MA, USA) at $19.99 per. Several were beat up and opened, and I haven't checked them yet. Not the $4.88 they were supposedly going for in some parts a couple weeks back, but a far (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| | Great LEGO SAH catalog supplement

I haven't seen any advertising, anywhere, that made me want to have it all as much as this does. (...) (22 years ago, 2-May-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| | Re: awsome gear table

Are there regular auctions that include track? Is there a way to get track and (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
