I find this very dissapointing. I have a four year old son who is 
absolutely fascinated with robots (and other automated machines) and not
just because that's what his old man does for a living. He is getting to 
the age where we can start doing creative projects rather than just buying 
off-the-shelf type toys.

I was very glad to find out about the existance of this LEGO product
since it fits the bill for what I (unknowingly) had been looking for.

I'm sorry you got flamed, Ron. If you run into this sort of product
anywhere else, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. Direct e-mail
might be safer :-)
