I played with LEGO when I was younger. Up til form3 I was having fun with self built robots, planes etc. Strangely the models that LEGO provided never help much of an interest for me. I actually built a huge model of a Madcat (from Mechwarrior) that took me nearly two sets of LEGO. Man those were the days.

Makes me wonder why I ever stopped. Oh yeah, girls. Bah, now that I think about it I made a bad choice.

Saw one at Mutiara Damansara. Price tag : RM 500++

i still have this.... sealed in the box.. kakakaka....

havent play lego for ages xD it is so expensive now >_>

my largest set is the submarine theme. got 1 technic and a freestlye bucket. (and some other minor sets, but cant remember already xD)

Our Year 1 sem 2 project was to build a LEGO robot. That count?

ah ~ another mechwarrior freak I assume. I also did built a mech unit from the lego brick sometime ago. Will post the pic later as I need to clean it up first (worth 13 years of dust)

Live From CES: Lego Mindstorms NXT



The latest and greatest iteration of Lego's robotic toolkits debuted today at CES. The new NXT "brick" is a 32-bit microprocessor that can be programmed using a PC or, for the first time, a Mac. It's Bluetooth enabled, which makes the instructions you plug into the LabView software easy to transfer to your bot, and even control it from a PDA or mobile phone. It's got three servo motors with inbuilt rotation sensors for precise speed control (one of the demo units on display walked quite fluidly). An ultrasonic sensor lets the robot see, it will recognize sound patterns and tones, the light detector is sensitive to both color and intensity variations, and there is a touch sensor to let the bot feel its way around as well. legomind2.jpg

The NXT comes with 18 step-by-step building challenges, not including the working slot machine pictured above. And Lego has issued a call for a NXT great developers user panel. 100 enthusiasts who apply via the website will be chosen to receive a kit in February. They will have four months to tinker and create something amazing for when the NXT becomes available to the public in August 2006. It will retail for $249.99.

ZOMG it is LabView-friendly

where can get Lego cheaper than market price?buy it from wholeseller?

I love lego too but last time no money to buy.

But i finally got my first lego from my parents for my birthday present last year.

lego is getting more expensive and rarer each year... i used to play it when i was young... now only save up for techincs and bionicles...

wow, feeling nostalgic now

Hey guys,

I'm a big LEGO enthusiast too, I'd collected lotsa lego sets during my primary school days such as those space station, pirate ships, pirate harbour, fire station and so on. After seeing this thread yesterday,it really brought back my sweet lego memories and i decided to go to Toys R Us and Jaya Jusco in Mid Valley to hunt for some lego to add into my collections but sadly both places only sell those Knight Kingdom, Technic and Bionicle models (which im totally not interested).

So I want to ask you guys, are there still any other places that still are still selling those old skool lego models like those pirate ships, space stations and so on?

it's getting harder to get Lego sets now, its too expensive so toys shops do not want to stock up just for the collectors.

when i was young, the prices were reasonable and my parents bought lots of LEGO sets for me.

nowadays i think the best form of entertainment for kids are gaming consoles and PC... pirated game cds freaking cheap...

off topic edi?

yeah i as well think that Lego is so expensive nowadays compared to the good old days where my house used to have Lego spilling all over the floor and i'll get so annoyed whenever i step on 1! oh god it hurts! its so sad that kids nowadays doesnt know how to relish toys like Lego which i think its a kind of brain stimulating activity when u build things and the joy of accomplishment when u actually get something built! and all kids nowadays do is sitting infront of the tv/pc all day playing games!! (thats what i think la no offence)

ps: scotty u wont mind right if we are slightly off topic!

since we are getting off topic, might as well off topic for one more post...

adults as well. like what we are doing right now

last time.. i like the forklift stuff... LEGO forklift damn nice , but too expensive T.T


i saw this at Brunei... cost B$ <300 .. around RM600++


this one .. not bad


nowadays LEGO no more wire-controller

Yah, their prices are getting terribly high now and to make things worst you can only find them in places like JJ, Parkson or Toys R Us where they will add more damage to the pricing. And nowadays LEGO itself is coming out with more models to blend into the adult group. Still remember when I was small, some shopping complexes will open a table in the toy section and layout a bucket full of lego blocks for the public to play with them.
