I post this every time I see this deal : the software doesn’t work very well (especially on Mac, people on win seem to have better luck) and the customer support is non-existant.
Oh Inglorious Keepers of the Meh, I’ve gotta tell y’all it’s extremely meh of you to keep listing things from days of Mehrathon’s past. 5 straight days of Mehrathon leftovers… that’s what IRKs are for! I had better see a never-before-meh’d Bluetooth speaker tomorrow!
@JamesEKohl This identical deal was here January 19, same price. They must not have sold enough. 820 that day, not going to hunt down the meh deal to see how many then.
OK went back and hunted down the numbers: 820 that day, 48 singles in the mehrathon Jan 20, 56 in the last mehrathon, 520 of the light games and light show pack back in december. So the deal is they still have pallets of these, and they are going to put up for sale what they have. Might make sense to make some deals stay buyable longer, like the mehrathon, but longer. Next day you can still click back to them and buy. Not everything, just a few things they have a lot of.
I should have read the descriptions more carefully when I bought some of these before.
The car one has no coding involved at all. It is just a Lego set with a battery, motor, and mic sensor that doesn’t work too well.
It worked out OK though as my daughter still enjoyed building it.

@sammydog01 They are exact copies of LEGO pieces… just missing the LEGO markings… most Non LEGO copyright infringement will state LEGO compatible… that helps specify the non LEGO ness of the parts included. If they included a close up photo of the parts I would have been able to differentiate from real LEGO. Garbage.
I just received the kit and I don’t see even an opportunity to program. It has a connector to the motor and another to the 9 volt battery. Can anyone explain the ‘programming’? I got the robot kit.

No steam here, only rain.

@yakkoTDI Inside is a good game.
@Fduch I actually bought Inside and Limbo based on the Inside walk through done by Let’s Game It Out.
On the most recent version of Mac OS the software won’t load at all.

@zachdecker after reading all the comments about issues with the software, the car one was probably the best buy tbh

Aren’t some of these kits discontinued and not supported anymore?
You could have sold something warm today and sold out in minutes. Well, you need power for the internet, so maybe not.
Ordered last time. None worked. No instructions.
not worth it on a Mac at least. doesn’t work at all.
For real, just eat the loss of these and send them out to fukus
Meh appears to be going downhill from meh
These aren’t even real LEGO pieces… total copyright infringement… as a LEGO purist these are insulting. These are destined for the recycling bin.
@skwerlmunkee Did it say these are Lego pieces? Don’t Legos generally use the word “Legos” instead of “building bricks”?
