Many people have asked how to get the Advanced Pneumatics Set (#9633)
and the Technology Resource Set (#9609).
These are Lego DACTA sets and not the regular Technic sets, aimed at the
educational market. They are normally only sold to schools and other
educational establishments. They are not to be found at the usual
retail outlets. But not to fret.
In the U.S., I believe they can be obtained from Pitsco at
http://www.pitsco-legodacta.com/
Elsewhere, you could approach your local Lego distributor and convince
them you're buying for your own educational use. It's not difficult,
they are usually nice people and tolerant of legomaniacs.
In my own case, I was able to impress on my local distributor that I was
aiming for a doctorate in Legorobotology (?MIT), specialising in
pneumatics. Since then, I have been buying Dacta parts through them
regularly or rather, as and when funds permit.
Just one thing, don't try to buy 50 - 100 sets and put them up for
auction, ok ;-)
