Hello List!
It seems that Lego refuses to sell the Mindstorms Roboticcs Invention Kit to
non-English-speaking countries, allegedly because they don't want to annoy
us with an English manual?!
The only robotics set available in Germany is this Lego Technic
Cybersomething amulinium box for kids.
Furthermore, it seems that even none of the various online resellers make
business with foreign customers.
This leads me to three questions:
1. Is it worthwile to buy this Cyberthing when there is not a single add-on
product of the Mindstorms series available?
2. Will Lego change their policy soon?
3. Are there resellers that *do* sell to Krauts?
TIA,
Heiko

| (...) Heiko, it's not just the manual (which is very thin, and easy to translate), but the software. You learn how to use your Mindstorms kit through an extensive multi-media tutorial. All the instructions are by voice. All the challenges are on the (...) (26 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
