So far the coolest Lego model my son has is the Robie House

but that only has 2276 bricks

Memories....
LEGO was my favourite when I grew up. And my boys were eager with the LUPO and big builds, but converted quickly to Playstation (sad for me).

Btw, did you look at Mindstorms?

I have looked at mindstorms for a long while but they are a bit pricey. We do have an Arduino set that is mucho fun!

Yeah, but will it achieve a low-earth orbit?

Nevermind, the thought of the Chinese blowing it up and having 120,000 lego blocks floating around at 17,000 MPH is a bit scary...
