     I purchased my Lego Mindstorms RIS online from TigerDirect, and
in the process I found two curious items... "Lego Mindstorms Submarine
with CD-ROM", and "Lego Mindstorms Turbo Command."      ???!!!     Has
anyone seen / heard of these before? I have not been able to locate
any other information about these two products anywhere else on the
web, but both are supposedly in stock at TigerDirect.  I'd probably
like to buy them if I had more information.  If you would like to see
where I found these items, go to this site:

TigerDirect | Online ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/profiles/index_4.asp
)

and do a search on "MINDSTORMS" using the 'lightning search' in the
upper left corner of the page. You should get about 11 items back, two
of which are the Submarine kit and the Turbo Command kit.
Unfortunately, there is not even so much as a picture provided.
    I'm pretty sure Lego is providing direct online distribution of
the Mindstorms product line only through Tiger Direct, so maybe this
is some sort of limited pre-release? (I just hope it's not a mistake,
because they sound pretty cool.) I'd appreciate any information anyone
could provide regarding these 2 products. Thanks.
