I'm another one of those people who got a Mindstorms set at Christmas and
I'm wondering now what Lego set to get next.  I'm looking for a set that has
a lot of gears (I never seem to have enough of them) and gives me a bit more
experience with using them.
I'm currently looking at three sets:
8479 - Barcode Multi Set
8462 - Tow Truck
8480 - Space Shuttle
Ideally, I'd love to get them all, but sadly this isn't an ideal world.
So what do you think is the best addition to my growing Lego collection?

Karl, I don't know about the barcode set, but I have both of the other ones. If you need gears, go for the shuttle, if you can still get it. It's got loads of them. And some motors, a gearbox, lots of axles (black and white). Build it at least once, (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
