A sad sad sacrifice for a great convention. I seem to remember seeing a complete set like that for $50 at a thrift store. I SO wish I had known what I know about lego now, as I would have bought it ...... :

I hope I can get an NXT at Brickcon! I could put it in this RC I am making of a Bobcat skid steer loader.

I really hope you can make it to the convention! I have a feeling its gonna be a really good one.

I know that feeling. Just remember that you probably wouldn't have used it and it would probably have just gathered dust in a dark corner somewhere.

It's only when I sell something that I start to appreciate it. It's like that Yellow Taxi song.
