Hey guys it's really good know there's so many lego enthusiasts in Malaysia. I've been saving up for a Lego Mindstorms NXT and it's selling at RM 1399 and i saw it in Isetan KLCC and Toy's R Us in Subang Parade

Now the NXT is widely available throughout Klang Valley and u just need to be willing to fork up the $$ to own a set.

You might wanna take a stroll at Brickboys Toys in Berjaya Timesquare cos they r the most complete lego store i've come across so far.

Nice collection you have there johnny

Still in the process of working towards owning a NXT set in next few months. I have an old Mindstorms RIS 1.5 which i bought a few years back and together with a few technic sets which i've collected over the years. Ever since i bought the Mindstorms, i started to collect mostly technic sets to complement the Mindstorms.

One of the reason i like the Mindstorms so much is because the things you can create and do with them is limitless.......it's only limited by your imagination......

And the youtube link u sent me says it all
I wonder what project will they do next time... maybe LEGO robots that build LEGO factory to build LEGO car ??

Johnny r u planning to buy the F1 Ferrari 1:8 as well ?

is the shipping cost costly to buy from ebay ?

Hmmm.....that wasnt the kind of response i was hoping for......Anyway im bored with the avatar, will change to a less "offensive" one later.

Try LeoCAD.

You may want to import the latest NXT parts into LeoCAD as well.

Btw, when and where is the contest taking place ? If possible i would like to go there and take a look cos i've never been to an official Lego contest b4.

I not a really Bionicle fan but i did buy 2 matorans couple of months ago to put it on top of my monitor They are small and cute and they are perfect as decorations.

I'm more of a mindstorms/technic fan now

RM1700 ? even more expensive than the NXT

Hey designer69, mind showing us some pics of your collection ?

Meanwhile, here's a very inspiring and touching video involving Lego:-

Hey good to know there's technic fan out there. My latest model is the 8272 Snowmobile. I bought it because of the new treads

I just read from Brickjournal 8 that LEGO is coming out with a new R/C motor system for high power applications and it looks very promising. They even have charts comparing the new and the old motors and new ones are really powerful...

Before the new motors come out, the one u just bought was the only choice we have back in the early 90's. The downside about the old motor is the high speed/low torque, meaning most of the time you need to gear it down for practical applications.

It's already out on Lugnet, and here's the link :

I got it from Toys'R Us for RM170 plus a RM25 voucher. So to me it is quite reasonable. Although LEGO is a bit overpriced here but if the amount is not very big then it's still ok. However if you're planning to buy in bulk then of course you should get it somewhere else.

It's from Toys'R Us. If i remember correctly, it's only until the end of this month as the voucher will expire on beginning of July.

If you buy more than RM150 worth of toys, you get RM25 voucher; more than RM250, you get RM50.

Nice little outpost you have there BTW.

Hey u got the glow-in-the-dark ghost minifig ! Nice !
The voucher is valid for goods redemption only, not for discount.

Today i went to the National Robotics Competition 2007 in Stadium Titiwangsa and it was an amazing experience

There are at least over 140 Mindstorms robots laying on the tables. Over 160 teams took part in that competition.

Hey kar hoe i was there too

You have a picture of you holding your robot ?

Hmmm..... i just noticed you did not use any sensors at all for your robot Why oh why didn't you use the sensors ?
