Considering Monopoly is a property of rival toy company (Hasbro) ,  nope.

however, LEGO have its range of boardgames-like products in the market:

News of X-men Cyclops and the jet Blackbird!!!

"Legoevilelmo on Eurobricks is reporting that he has seen another new X-Men in this year’s LEGO Marvel X-Men set and that is Cyclops. They are also reporting that not only will Cyclops be in the set, he will also be piloting the Blackbird. This is in addition to what we’ve reported last week for this particular set. Currently, we now have Cyclops in addition to Magneto, Storm, Wolverine in his brown costume, a Sentinel, as well as the Blackbird.

Will not be that expensive in my opinion, same as the Mercedes Benz Unimog 

Anyone have use Eneloop XX with Technic or Mindstorms before? Is the battery good?

The white is 2000mAh but the XX is 2500mAh hope it will be more power. Thanks for the info 

Yup, you are right, it is more to voltage not the capacity. I checked that the eneloop have 1.2v only. Maybe will search for another brand. Thanks 

All NiMH rechargeable batteries are rated as 1.2V. A freshly charged NiMH is 1.4V though but will drop to 1.2V quickly.
Eneloop is famous because it is a low discharge rechargeable battery, which means if you store the battery after some time it still has some juice in it.

You are right, I think that is why the eneloop are not recommend for Lego, they are good at long endurance but not for high power demand device.

Do you have any recommendation for rechargeable battery that is good for Mindstorms?

Very busy recently, did not browse/read much. Skip some pages and saw this.

But you are right.

Both white and XX (even the Lite) version, all output at 1.2V
The different mAh (milli-amp hour) means how long it can slowly release at 1.2V for a longer time.
Bigger means the battery can last longer.

Nope ... I'm the guy busy taking these pictures.  Little prawn but don't know your back pack full of cash for haul??

I took the pics in high resolution.  No need to remember.  Just purposely lower resolution so you need to go BBT or BVII go see for yourself 

That's why need to budget and plan properly.  Prioritize purchases when to buy and when to hold off.

My nostalgic haul over the weekend towards my castle / kingdom collection ...



Welcome to the family.



Want to build a Kingdom/Castle army.  This is the best bang for your buck, avg Rm8/minifig with full armory and accessories.

Those are sets where the more you resist, the more rare it gets the higher the price gets.

A glimpse of a few from the 2014 list.  And the Technic Volvo is a big construction truck ... not a car. 

Yes, you should if you are into the castle / kingdom, medieval themes stuff.

Somehow the off road and on road technic vehicles are more appealing to me.  Construction sets, hmmm ... is debatable.  Unless its heavilly discounted,  probably I'll get it otherwise nehh.  If I had Rm750 to get the XXL Mobile Crane, I would get something else maybe a Racer Enzo or GTB.  Or the older technic trucks.

Haha, i go no horse figs
