Wandered in to Playscene today (upstairs mid City Centre), they've only got a handful of sets left. <set:8422>, Technic motorbike from 1995, $50: good set for a petrolhead, IMHO 2x <set:4548>, Train speed regulators, $60: reasonable price I think (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) The 4565 is available from LA, ~$291 including postage. The stock of these arrived last week according to Barbara Bell (although Corinne, the one we spoke to when we finally got through in early Feb said at the time that all the train stock (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Thanks for all the info Deidre. I'm looking to start up in Mindstorms over the next few months, then maybe 9V trains after that. Any expert advice on the following menus would be great: Mindstorms: *RIS 1.5 at Dick Smith/Ozbricks for ~$290, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) For all these, I'd definitely watch ebay & trading post. I paid full price for my first RIS, but all since then I got for a lot less. Though ebay is a lot less inviting with the dollar so low... Also, try & find a RIS 1.0 - the power in socket (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I'm pretty keen to go MISB, but I wouldn't mind a few extra RCXs to test their group behaviour modelling. What condition were sets in the secondhand market? Are the "Ultimate Accessories" worth $100? (...) Is 4565 as nifty as it looks? --Dave (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) for (...) I got my RIS 1.0 for (AU)$200 in the trading post. It was near mint condition, but with S/H it's always the luck of the draw. My UAS was US$38 on ebay. If you just want the rotation sensor, it's probably not worth it, but it also has (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Obviously the RIS is where you start and I think the Ultimate Accessories is worth the money too. Most of the expansion packs (Extreme Creatures, Robosports, Life on Mars) aren't particularly good value; better to just use your existing (...) (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Mine arrived yesterday, and I think it's pretty nifty indeed! I must caution that this is my first System train set, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, actually I'm not even sure what counts as features to start describing it :) (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
