Well, I went to go over and check out some of those New York Toy Fair 2002 previews, and you know, the new sets they showed are incredibly disappointing. But here's another weird one: I don't care. I used to get all worked up about it. I can think (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Want me to post my anti-X time? ;) I just found out last night that when I swapped the half drain batteries with a set of new batteries, I saved 5 seconds run time! (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, it might not be the best place, but it does anger me too. I suppose part of my right wing capitalist leanings would say, "Hey, why not, a buck is a buck". But there's a part of me which values Lego and sharing and it cheeses me off just (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) See, I had this entirely 'new' concept whilst watching my friends robot welder at work the other week. The robot welder has like a 19 segment arm, and I wouldn't go that far, but I was thinking 4 sections, like Iain had started to develop that (...)

(...) That's a great idea! Think I'll try that (tho I have 2 old diffs and 6 new ones...) But for this 'bot competition, no modified bricks at all :( (rules and all that) Tho if it's this situation, I don't know why we can't bend the rules but that (...)

(...) Nuts, I was going to ask you to get me two too. (...) Actually collectors are cool, its the speculators that should be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

(...) I saw somewhere someone chopped the annoying centre protrusion off a crown wheel to get this to work - can't remember where off-hand. I prefer the old diffs anyway 8?) ROSCO (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have to say, since this subject has been mentioned, although this may be a wholly unsuitable forum to vent about it, that the people who "invade" these discount opportunities for profit make me really mad!

Grrr!! All rotation sensors are sold. Last week they had lots so if I jump to conclusions (which many people know I'm prone to do--yeah, whatever!!), some so-and-so probably bought a whole bunch and pretty soon we'll see them on eBay for at least (...)
