Technic fun with the Mindstorms programmable bricks that do not require a PC: the Scout and the Micro Scout. They run built-in programs controlled mainly by sensor input. Their sets also include many newer Technic parts. The Micro Scout comes in 2 (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.scout)

I thought the 8448 had been discontinued, that's what Lego S@H told me. My dampened shocks broke, I got replacements and one of the replacements have the same number as the defective ones. Anyone know if the new generation should have different (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

|
|
I made a stop by Target today to make sure they hadn't lowered their clearance prices anymore, and they had the 8007 C3PO. $29.97. I just got through assembling the set. First my rants :) This set would have been much better if there had been more (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I don't know, but the 8448 disappeared from S@H magazines down here in the US. However, it is still available on the website. I just built mine today =), and for myself I am wondering if the shocks will break, considering I purchased it about (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) It might be a couple of things: - A newer, slightly more pliable breed of ABS is being used. It is more readily available, holds it's color better, is available in more colors (rather than having to add a lake [dye] to the ABS beads), and (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) ... Well, since you only mention Technic sets, I can only assume you're referring to the change in friction pins. I don't know exactly when this occurred (since the mid 90's was my LEGO Dark Ages) but I'm sure somebody on here does. Anyway, if (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | Pre-1995 strong pieces/attachments
|
|
This could just be something to do with the sets I have, but I noticed that many sets before 1995 seem to have really stiff and strong pieces. They take a lot more strength to join but once connected, they stay on very tightly. Some models I got in (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I saw that this was on sale at Target for 50%, so I went there but they didn't have ANYTHING on clearance. At that point I (for whatever reason) still wanted the set so I stopped at TRU and got it for full price. About the "big version": junk. I (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

I too like these Bionicles! It'd be cool if we were simply able to get them right now, as I need all of them. Besides the six larger ones (called Toa) and the six smaller ones (called Turaga) I also heard of vehicles and even more village peoples (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
