Very sad that, according to Facebook, people have ordered bulk quantities thinking it is actual Lego. I despair for humanity.

Re the Lego post that was listed 4 hours ago. I rang the Education Officer at Lego to let her know what was happening re the charges to our accounts of £7.96. She's very nice and was grateful for the heads up that there is a problem (she said that they had tested it and tested it and is now horrified that there is a problem). The actual cost is zero and so there will be no charge. They use SAP accounting package and it forces you to enter a minimum value of £0.01 - you cannot enter £0.00 when you are selling something. She advised that all of the orders are going into a bucket and if it had worked correctly the £0.01p would never have been taken. Subsequently £7.96 will not be taken (or if it has, it will be refunded). She said they definitely want people ordering. I said I would let everyone know on the group what she said - I spoke to Faye the Manager, she was very nice IN THEORY IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED YOU SHOULD BE GETTING A REFUND NEXT WEEK WHEN STAFF RETURN FROM WEEKEND IF NOT CONTACT LEGO YOURSELF.

Does it come with a 7 year old kid to show us what to do with it?

Software to build lego projects ...but you need to buy the projects for it to be of any use.

So it's free as it's basically useless without the hardware.

Also if you have Window 7 ...IT WON'T WORK ....as you need a hardware dongle to plug-in !

had emails from them now saying that money will be refunded - very apologetic and happy with their customer service. Well done Lego!

my invoice said 1p but they have taken £7.96 surely thats not legal

Would love to get this product for my granddaughter who is in a gaelic school in greenock and they don't have any funding to get educational products

£7.96 taken from my bank

Product unavailable. Mark expired plz.

I ordered 150 FFS! Lol

Are the extra charges due to multiple orders? I.e greedy lol

Hi how come my bill came to 6p but when i checked my bank, £8.01 has came out of it. Can you help?

Thanks OP. Heat added.

If that is the case then Lego will be held responsible for lying :smiley:

I have ordered this and my bank says that my available balance is 1p less than my actual balance.
so it looks like it does cost 1p.
don't think that will break the bank though. ;-)

Technically if charges even £0.01 it is not free so in wrong forum

Is this deff just a digital download? I dnt see it said that it is or maybe I am blind

Once purchased how do I download? Got emailed an invoice but not sure how to get the software.

Charged me 0.01 pence

Charged me £7.99

Just use Arduino with Lego? Much cheaper and cross-platform.


Choose something else then? Why are people so honest with companies?

My bank says i have X amount in account and available is 1p less. So assuming thats from Lego. No mystery £7 charge

nothing taken from my bank ...yet

Is this to use with mindstorm?

Can't choose my county? Live in Ayrshire in Scotland. Strange, is it only available to certain areas?

My invoice says 1p

Ive emailed lego education regarding them taking £7.96 so waiting reply. If they dont refund the £7.96 or at least £7.95 i woll be cancelling my order and contacting my bank.

This website's full of lies - I'm not sure I can trust it
I'd be saving £199.98, not £199.99 :man:

Just checked my bank and they have not taken any payment yet when I posted it! Has anyone had an email? Sure they will refund any overcharge as looks like website is crashing and will be sorted asap. Keep an screen shot of £0.01 just for proof.

Checked mine, also £7.96

Ive checked my bank after ordering this and its showing as them taking £7.96 not just 1p

I'm guessing 3.0 is on its way :P

It's all part of their plan to shift this product :smile:

Not sure if the same, but just downloaded it for free from iTunes?

Lego education we do 2.0 full

yeah LEGO server error page now.

meh can't submit. 503 constantly. getting hammered.

service unavailable it says :disappointed:

service unavailable it says :disappointed:

Ordered, thanks

got mine

I've got it successfully. May not be any good for me but I can give it to my local primary school

looks like site has crashed , oops

I've got it now, so this is the whole curriculum with all of the experiments, but you need the motors, sensors, PSU etc to enable the software to do something.
That's a shame, I had hoped to bodge something together to enable it to work.

Does it come with a 7 year old kid to show us what to do with it?

On the Lego community users say it's basically software with activation code.

Ahh, thanks. So not so good then.

Thanks, saved me a wasted penny :stuck_out_tongue:

What exactly is it and is it worth downloading?

Sounds good.

what is it ?

Ordered it anyway, can load it up for the kids and see what it's like.
