Hmm. Saw that Lego just makes 2 robotics sets now. The RIS and the Ultimate
Builders Set. That's tough news for us adults playing with Lego. :P And when
you looks at the technic front, it's dead. The only thing available is the
Lego Racers sets, which have too many custom parts that just look "good" (I
don't think so but let's say they look "designed") and can't be used for
anything else. To me, re-usable, enlessly combinable parts are what Lego's
about.
You used to be able to buy some useful Star Wars sets with good parts for
technic/robots but that's all over now. Maybe the people rather buys a
jaggedy Yoda sculpture or a tiny tie fighter.

But then I looked at the first part of the catalog (ages 6+):P and found the
Designer Sets!
To me, these sets are pretty optimal: low price, an acceptable part count,
great value for kids, and the parts can be used again and again! They also
come in nice color combinations with an idea book each.
The 4099 is the closest thing to anything I'd want to buy from the new catalog.
What do you other builders/collectors think?

| Have scans of the actual 2003 catalog been posted anywhere? I know the sets themselves were posted from the Marz distribution site, but has the actual 2003 Catalog been found yet? Bryan "Henrik Erlandsson" <e.henrik@telia.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.general)
