LEGO Shop-at-Home � 202583<br />

� (800) 453-4652<br />

� http://shop.lego.com/<br />

LEGO Shop-at-Home is dedicated to all things LEGO.<br />

What makes them especially vital is that they sell<br />

replacement parts for those that have become damaged<br />

or lost or consumed by robotics projects. You can<br />

search the online catalog (including by part number),<br />

but also be sure to get on the mailing list for the regular<br />

catalog.<br />

Availability of replacement parts comes and goes and<br />

not all are available in every country. So, if/when you<br />

see what you want, be sure to get it. Wait too long, and<br />

it may not be available. Among the replacement parts<br />

you can get through Shop-at-Home are:<br />

• Pneumatic pump<br />

• Pneumatic cylinder<br />

• Balloon tires<br />

• Technic wheel pack<br />

• Shock absorbers<br />

• Pulleys and rubber belts<br />

• Power pack (battery holder, 9v gear motor)<br />
