Combining the versatility of the LEGO building system with a microcomputer brick and intuitive programming software, the LEGO MINDSTORM NXT 2.0 building kit enables you to construct robots that see, speak, feel, and move. Designed for ages 10 and up, the 2.0 robotics tool set features everything you need to create and program your first robot in approximately one hour. After that, you can create an endless lineup of robots that do what you want--if you can dream it, you can build it. Take LEGO to the next level.
The sky's the limit! The software will not only help you program these robots, but also offer you challenges to learn more about how to program them. Then you can build the ultimate robot. It can "see" with its ultrasonic sensors, walk with its servos, walk carefully with its touch sensors, and pick up only the color you tell it to with its color sensor. There aren't enough words to write how cool the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 really is, because the proof is in the building. Come on, time to bring your next creation to life!

Out of one of those "I can't believe we didn't think of this before!" moments Lego designed and unveiled 12 unique board games made entirely of LEGO pieces. For LEGO fans, board games fans, and especially both, this REALLY steps up the fun. The games are the world's first collection you build, play and change. With the unique buildable LEGO dice and changeable rules, LEGO games are a great way of having fun with family and friends.
We're not simply talking about 12 different versions of a similar game, either. LEGO has gone all out, creating 12 completely unique experiences. While in one game you’re trying to collect pieces to create your own robot, in others it’s a Snakes and Ladders inspired race, hiding from a minotaur, mixing potions, and much more!
Banana Balance is all about going bananas while trying to collect the most fruit! It’s stifling in the jungle and pselecting the best bananas is hard work as the tree grows new leaves. Get the the monkey’s help to collect the biggest pile of fruit, but don’t let the tree tip! An exciting game of balance for 2 - 4 players.
LEGO Champion: A racing game where you build the track as you race for the finish line. Each time a new track is added you have to initiate a challenge and the winner of the jumps ahead. The basic game includes five challenges, with an extra (optional challenge) in the rules book.
LEGO Creationary: Roll the dice to choose one of four fun building categories: vehicles, buildings, things or nature. Show off your building skills with three difficulty levels while other players try to guess at what you are creating. A great game for friends and family to test creativity, imagination, guessing and building skills to the max. This is an interactive game with 30-60 minute play for 3-8 players.
LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Enroll in the magical Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to search the castle for your studies in LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts. Be the first to race down through secret passageways, moving staircases, and back to your common room with all of your homework to win! This fun and challenging family game is for 2 - 4 players
LEGO Heroica: is a sub-theme in LEGO games. It’s a fantasy-themed, role-play game series in which each title can be played individually, or, multiple titles can be combined into a larger game with bigger maps and more possibilities. Simple rules and depth of strategy make it a great choice for those who enjoy the idea of role-playing but aren’t big fans of the minutiae that often accompanies pen-and-paper role playing games. In Draida Bay the main wizard and barbarian characters are fighting goblin warriors; in Waldurk Forest three main players aim to score the Cahlice of Life from the Dark Druid; and in Castle Fortaan it’s goblins again in an epic battle against the Goblin King. All are very well designed, functional, and fast-paced so younger kids stay entertained.
LEGO Pirate Plank: The Pirate Captain has forced four pirates to walk the plank and plunge into shark-filled waters. In this LEGO game you build on the dice and try to push your comrades into the dangerous water while keeping your own pirate standing on the plank. Last man standing wins the game in what one might call a reversed race for 2-4 players.
LEGO Ramses Pyramid: The mummy King Ramses wants to conquer Egypt using his mummies. To stop him, be the first to collect the most magical crystals, evade the mummies and climb the pyramid.
LEGO Ramses Return: dare to defy the curse and claim the treasure! Do you dare to enter the pyramid to find the golden treasures of Ramses? Uncover the mysterious crystals and grab the treasure but beware of the mummy and the ancient curse of Ramses! This is a thrilling memory-based chase game for 2 - 4 players.
