Hi Lawrence,
Yes I got Lego for Christmas....all of it....all of the Technic sets available
in Toys R us in Zurich. I had just bought Mindstorms 3 months ago and got
hooked on Technic so she walked into the shop and said she wanted everything.
So here goes.....8462,8459,8446,8444,8414,8417,8445,8437,8479,8448 and another
Mindstorms (that she forgot I had)
Which one should I start with.
And what can she buy me for my Birthday ?
Regards
Tim
