(...) Matthias I am curious. Were you able to order products from Spectrum from outside of Canada? Did they ship to you in the US? Thanks (24 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.dacta, lugnet.lego.dacta)

|
|
All: I wrote to Tim Lankford (tlankford@pitsco.com) regarding the ROBO Technology Set noted below. He wrote back today to say: (1) Pitsco has not yet received this product so a parts inventory can't be provided right now, (2) software is NOT (...)

| | New PITSCO LEGO Educational Division catalog
|
|
The former PITSCO LEGO Dacta (the US-market-only educational distributor) catalog just came. It has some interesting things. First is a "minimal" RCX package "ROBO Technology Set" 9785/9786 that includes the RCX, 2 motors, 2 touch sensors, a light (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.lego.dacta, lugnet.robotics)

(...) A myth indeed! I too have ordered from Spectrum and received prompt and courteous service. I got what I wanted within days of ordering it. They were quite helpful (and patient) in locating part numbers, even though I was reading from a Pitsco (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.dacta, lugnet.lego.dacta)

(...) I agree. I have had no trouble ordering online from these guys. They are just like any other online retailer. Red and blue technic beams, gears, motors etc. A bit pricey, as has been pointed out, but if they are the only source, you gotta do (...)

I'm not sure, but I think this thread has now had more name changes than a dead LEGO product line. ;) (...) Name changes (after 20+ years of being in use) are a silly exercise. For anyone who's ever known it as such, it will always be DUPLO. And why (...) (24 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.dacta, lugnet.lego.dacta)

(...) yeah, I'm aware of the name change, but for some reason I refuse to adopt it. ..chock it up to nostalgia. and too long of a name. I still say SYSTEM, DUPLO and TOOLO too.
