I think the subject line says it all. Only confirmed at my local store in Hatfield but they usually do the same nationwide I think. Because of this deal I picked two up even though I had sworn not to get sucked in! Psi (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.loc.uk)

Try this address: (URL) that you don't need to login with a Club ID to play, only to have it save your position automatically -- that's the reason behind the "machination," it's so you can save. It's not clear enough at the moment that you don't (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

I built a simple solar-powered hexapod last weekend with some new parts I ordered from Pitsco. The walker is quite slow, using the LEGO solar cell to power a 5225 9V motor, which drives a worm gear coupled directly to a 24T gear. I've found the LEGO (...)

Hi Simon, In the first instance, call LEGO Consumer Services on 08457 080070. If you explain the problem, they will almost certainly send you a replacement. The micromotors seem to have a habit of jamming: I've destroyed one myself, trying to find (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
