I don't consider you to be anti-Lego, Tony. You still have all your older sets,
don't you? You're still participating in Lego discussions and such. I'd like
to know what you think of Mindstorms, too. This set is made to promote
building. There really isn't much in the way of prebuilt instructions with this
set. I think that this set is probably the best set that Lego has ever come out
with. Not only does it promote creativity in building, but it also educates in
programming and mechanics.
