Last week I faxed all the firms mentioned on
http://www.lego.com/dacta/addresses/wheretobuylist.asp#de
asking for mindstorms and technic parts. They all pointed me to
Technik-LPE GmbH

I've got already an answer from most of them with prices and
availability. They're very expensive. I do not know if they sell to
individuals, as I requestet the parts for our communications
association ...
So I faxed to my toy-dealer (It's a VEDES-Shop www.vedes.de ) and they
answered me, that they can't deliver before january 15th. But they are
cheaper.
I look forward to the opening of the next legoland near gunzburg
(between ulm and augsburg - I live in augsburg) in 2002 - then it
would be no problem to buy lego-parts as cheap as possible ...
