Teebo542 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply, yeah I don't really have much interest in the robotic sets so I will probably try for the flip if this set is going to be around for a while. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah get rid of it. I don't think they do super well as an investment anyway because the new ones are the same but better. Quote
beartrapper Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Its not going anywhere soon, you're almost better off trading it for a couple of Helm's Deep sets. I actually traded a 41999 to get an EV3 for myself. Quote
Sauromosis Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Anyone have an angle on getting one of these discounted? I see 287 shipped via amazon UK. Anything better out there? Quote

Sauromosis Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 To specify, my 287 quote was USD after conversion. Quote
abri123 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Think very.co.UK had these 3for2 earlier in the week but don't know what situation is now. Quote

pazappa Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 205 @ amazon Uk - pretty good deal Yup! Got myself one and to make the deal sweeter my Ikano credit card is running a campaign giving 30 % off everything bought in a bookstore, including Amazon. Thought you might like to know... Well maybe not since I don't think there are a lot of Swedes here, with that exact card, but still. Quote
pazappa Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 And yes I used your affiliate link to shop for about 1000 GBP. Quote
Gonkalin Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Can anyone tell me if the motors on the ev3 are different from the motors on the nxt? Have the motors also been changed? We're doing the Lego FLL competition. We have an ev3 and we want to build a exact duplicate robot. So we'd have 2 robots. But we're short on ev3 motors but we have extra next motors we could use if they are identical. Thanks for your advise. Chris. Quote
gregpj Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 According to Bricklink... (EV3 inventory) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=31313-1 (NXT 2.0 inventory) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8547-1 They are not the same. EV3 comes with an extra motor and the "large" motor in the EV3 is a different shape than what shows for NXT and NXT 2.0. Now if you're wondering if the NXT motors are compatible with the EV3 system, yes they are: http://education.lego.com/fr-fr/preschool-and-school/secondary/mindstorms-education-ev3/support/nxt-compatibility Quote
znjndmawn Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 With the announcement of 51515, should we sell our stocks of EV3s investment-wise? Quote
