Robot fun! Out in August 2006, and in true Lego style will cost $249." Wired has a preview of the cover story about the new kit on their site.

The Neatest Lego Creation by putko · 2006-01-05 02:42 · Score: 1, Offtopic

I think the neatest Lego thing I've ever seen are this guy's bible stories. He's sold 3 books of them.

The storytelling is great, and his sets are first class. It reminds me of a movie:

It isn't at all high-tech or technical. However, I'm guessing that digital cameras and the internet have allowed him to become very well known.

I guess with the robot version, you could make an animation involving robots, which would be cool.
