Car CrazeXVI Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I was without wifi until this morning I watched these back when LEGO uploaded them. It was a moment where I wished I was a News Editor, just to post this. I do want that rover... O.T. How do my headphones still work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Uh, no, I'm on a road trip and there was simply no place around that had wifi. I don't use AT&T anyway. I saw the videos as they were uploaded as well (I get email alerts for these things) but I don't exactly have the time to write news reports on a smartphone.

McJobless Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Of course they don't tell you how much it is in Australian money...probably around $500. We get gipped. STUDZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
