Star Wars Lego Mindstorms

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-got-chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter dept.

An anonymous reader proved what happens when you combine to of mankind's greatest achievements (Legs Mindstorm and Star Wars) into one excellent geek toy. I want that lego R2-D2. They've also got a digital camera lego mindstorm. Hope your German is better then mine though. Update: 02/17 06:04 by CT : Web site go boom. Anyone have a copy in their cache?

    Hmmm, at $200 for the basic set, not only are these toys for dorks, they're toys for rich dorks! The Star Wars crap on top of that and you're all set for an afternoon of playing with yourself. ;>

    Lego would be much better off dropping the price on this cool stuff so that the people that should have it - THE KIDS - can have it.

    Hey, Rob, how about you queso a server
    before linking to it, so we can see
    which servers handle the /. effect better?

    This one's pages were done with MS software,
    so anyone care to queso it?

  12. Lego made this not programmable by vik · · Score: 1

    Only if you're in the US. Trying to get hold of Mindstorms outside the US gets you a wall of stony silence from Lego distributors.

    In New Zealand we have a law permitting parallel importing, but outside suppliers daren't ship for fear of offending Lego. It's like Microsoft in Toyland.
