I am very interested in a Sumo/War type competition. I have some rules that I am in the middle of editing and will post whenever time permits... BTW did you check out the competition happening in San Jose, CA - those are very similar rules to what I (...) (27 years ago, 12-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

(...) I'd be up for it! I'd be more interested, though, in a bit more generalized contest of some sort. Partially because I suspect the canned Robosport stuff is kinda limited, and partially because I only have Robolab and NQC on my Mac. :^P Whatcha (...)

Howdy Austin Lug.heads, I've already mail ordered and received my Mindstorms set, but the Robosports add-in set I ordered with it bas backordered.

(...) Lucky! The service desk at a local Target told me the that they were supposed to be 50% off (they were price checking at $9.99 still) so I grabbed all 18 unopened buckets they had. The cashier didn't know how to ring them up at 50% off so he (...) (27 years ago, 2-Nov-98, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

Did my usual rounds (Target, KMart, TRU) in my end of town(North Austin) and nothing new yet. Target was boasting a few markdowns and KMart was having a 20% off their usual selection of opened/maimed/crushed Lego product. Oh well... All it means is (...)

Never knew that Austin was some sort of RTLer Meccha. And your right, it is no wonder why good sets are hard to come by in this town. We're all in competition. However, I suggest working together, esp. during this upcoming "Lego" season (God Bless (...) (28 years ago, 23-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)

(...) I've found some good deals on discontinued sets at the KMart at Parmer and Mopac, and the KMart on 183 up near 620. Normally I buy from Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, and Shop @ Home (TRU trips are usually look and not buy). (28 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
