ok, no flames on this one!!! I am new to the Lego robot series. I have
never heard of CyberMaster, and am very intrigued... I am gathering
from this post that it is not sold in the states? Why is that? I am
completely hooked on Mindstorms, and the thought of a more advanced set
for "grown ups" is very exciting... Can someone enlighten me on this
subject...
