What I found interesting in the new S@H catalog is the price difference
between the (now older) Droid Developer Kit ( US$ 59.99 @ 652 pieces) and
the newer Darkside Developer Kit ( US$ 99.99 @ 578 pieces). Same micro
scout, different color, fewer pieces, more money. Go figure.

I was wondering about this...
Now that I see the parts pack, I can't help but think that this is NOT a
pneumatics parts kit. This is a collection of parts that happens to have
some pneumatics in it. This is a far cry from bulk pneumatic parts, Brad.
The old parts packs were much better for our uses! What we have offered
before us is nothing less than a blatant rip off! 27.99 US for this crap!
I am not buying it! I would like to buy some distinct pneumatic parts, for
the model I am building/planning. I don't need any of the newer Technic
parts that are offered as part of this pack. I need only pneumatic parts!
How hard is that to understand?
Build On! (or not since we can't get the parts at a reasonable price)

P.S. I am angry about this

| (...) What about the new Silver Champion (#8458) with 1,412 pieces at $169.99 compared to the Super Street Sensation (#8448) with 1,408 parts at $129.99? It cost them $40 for four extra elements..? I'm a twenty-five year old LEGO fan. I've spent (...) (24 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
