Thrift Store Score

Mostly complete Mindstorms that retailed for over $200 ca. 2002 but now obsolete.

Fully functional electrics and electronics but missing the serial cable to the IR interface. I imagine it was still attached to whatever Dell desktop on the way to the recycler. I have one spare.

White 2x4 brick was unexpected. It's very likely from a 1969 set.

A little sunburnt.

A few bite marks.

Clear bottom with black inserts is unique to the original set.

Sized for a wire axle. Old school.

Called it.

The only vehicle of note is a beaut:

Yes, that is Elsa Lanchester and yes, she is a hack that cracks wise ... and in one of eleven thousand lines of pointless exposition we discover that she was a school teacher in Wisconsin.

The only reason to watch this mess. Jesse White is a loathsome drunk and would-be rapist. He's also incompetent at his job which is to be a goon, which is why Ahn threatens to kill him with a coffee pot.

But is reminded that he will have to clean it up himself.
