Wow. Didn't it used to say 8- something? I guess not. Hmm... I retract
anything I may have said about my sister- I know a lot of kids who will
be beyond their software at the age of 12. Well, it is up to them now...

For those of you who are interested, there are new pictures up at
legomindstorms.com of the droid development kit and the new scout kit.
Unfortunately, both of them look pretty limited, though the idea of an
R2-D2 running around the house does sound pretty cool. They will be much
better suited for kids than the current product, though, so perhaps there
is hope for the "high end" to move up to more sophisticated stuff which
will be cooler for those of us who are old enough to see PG-13 rated
movies.

Until now I've never seen LEGO target a product to grownups. They don't seem acknowledge our existence at all!
They probably think we are too less to even pay the development costs of a product targeted at us, a product that it will never be profitable.

I only wish someone at LEGO read this list...
