FYI people, the SV TRU had SOME of the 3552s with the motor and 9V battery box
as of a few hours ago.  I grabbed 10, left about that many.  So if you want
motors CHEAP at $9.97 per set, better get down there - who knows if they have
more in back or not.

That was the only motorized set I saw, they didn't have much ZNAP.

Lego made ZNAP sets about years 1998-1999.  Some pieces snap together while
others fit with Technic pegs and axles.  They make sturdy frames that do not
pull apart during movement, especially useful for robotics.

Looks like Lego will use TRU to unload the remaining Znap inventory.  Good
opportunity to get deals on Technic motors and useful Technic-compatible
pieces.  Get a $29.75 motor & battery box for $14.95 plus other pieces.  Get
a $23.00 motor & battery box for $9.97 plus other pieces.  Great prices.
Probably last chance.

Today the Toys R Us store in Bradenton, Florida, USA marked down prices on
all Lego Znap sets.  For example, the store put the following "clearance"
prices on Lego Znap sets:

#3591 $14.95 reg $29.95
includes:
- #5225 motor (reg $17.50 LSAH)
- #5115 battery box (reg $12.25 LSAH) (AA x 6, directional switches)
- flexible drive shaft
- other Technic compatible Znap pieces
see http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=3591-1

#3552 $9.97 reg $19.95
includes:
- #5225 motor (reg $17.50 LSAH)
- #5391 battery box (reg $5.50 LSAH) (9V x 1, on/off switch)
- flexible drive shaft
- other Technic compatible Znap pieces
see http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=3552-1

#3571 $9.97 reg $19.95
includes:
- #5225 motor (reg $17.50 LSAH)
- #5391 battery box (reg $5.50 LSAH) (9V x 1, on/off switch)
- flexible drive shaft
- other Technic compatible Znap pieces
see http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=3571-1

#3520 $1.97 reg $2.97
includes:
- large wheel x 4 with off-center Technic peg hole in each of 3 axles and
center cross-axle hole.
- other Technic compatible Znap pieces
see http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=3520-1

Znap wheels, axles, pegs and beams fit Technic wheels, axles, pegs and
beams.  Znap beams same cross-section size as new Technic beams.  Great
non-slip connectors to prevent a model from pulling apart, typical
affliction of many robotics models.  Flexible drive shaft has Technic cross
axle.

Look for more LUGNET info on Znap at:

then do Search for "znap".

  Re: Technic & robotics-compatible LEGO ZNAP clearance at TRU
 
Here in San Jose, I have found more than a few TRU that still had many of the 3552, 3571 and 3520. If any one wanted a set they cant find locally, tell me and I will get them for you. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
