(...) I've got all of both lines, mostly because I'm a sucker for little robots. The RoboRiders are easier to play around with, since they are on wheels you just roll them around instead of worrying about posing them and stuff. But in the end they (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)

I hope lego direct plans to put technic beams and plates on the list of parts to produce. The new catalog is lacking many of the tecnic packs that were in the old catalog. The beams and plates that we could order in the past are totaly void in the (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)

I do not have any of these sets, but I was thinking of buying one. They are not that expensive (unless you look at the piece count- yikes!), and seem very fun to play with. If I get a Throwbot, I will probably get Amazon or Granite, if a Roborider, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)

I have read only the Sorcerer's Stone book, and I really can't imagine nine sets being made from it. I mean, there's a big castle, but there isn't nine castles. And there isn't any big ships or anything to make either. My guesses are - Hogwarts (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.technic)
