 | | A major concern: Where to find basic bricks?
|
|
Something struck me as a big problem with Lego lately while building part of my train station today-we don't have a good source of basic 1x and 2x bricks anymore. I've got like six unopened 3033's left, but after that...does this concern anyone (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hmmmm....yes. Exactly. Performance wise, all are similar....and capable of handling the RIS 2.0 firmware, and using the USB technology (through the USB tower)..... but 1.0 saves on batteries...yes...through its AC connector. this is really (...)

(...) The 2.0 brick is no different than the 1.0 or 1.5 brick apart from the AC connector. 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 all can run the 2.0 Firmware, and all can talk to the USB IR tower. There is no advantage to buying a 2.0 RCX brick at all, and the only (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) So Do I....I think the 1.0's are very versatile. Congrats on your cool purchase and receipt. Personally, I wouldn't mind a 2.0 also so I can use the upgraded firmware and the USB connectivity. (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Cool, I like your preliminary design ideas. If you're going to go ahead with a train station, then I'm going to dismantle mine. I don't really like it in its current state, I never got to add any detail to it, and it's just taking up to much space (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
