(...) Great info Deidre. Question for the Tech-heads: is this the best way to get supplementary bits and bobs for Mindstorms? Or are the expansion sets better value? The RIS gets more and more tempting... is GBs/Myer (at 20-25% off) still the best (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au)
