I don't know if anyone has ever seen this before, I don't know if this is real but it sure as hell looks very awesome. So what do you think?

It´s real. Here´s some info about it .

Definitely real: this has been around for quite a long time. I saw this and played around with it last May in the Lego Store in Downtown Disney in Orlando, but I've heard people saw this before then in Germany as well.

It works with a couple of selected Lego sets, as far as I could tell back then: they hadn't programmed every available Lego set in the system, I guess. But it worked pretty well!

EDIT: the link provided by CopMike shows it's a German innovation, dating from late 2008, so I guess what I heard rings true.

I was shocked when I randomly saw one of these in a LEGO store, I had never heard of it before I saw it.

Aw. When I saw the thread title, I though "actual Lego cyborgs."

But that's still cool. Means I still get to be first...

... eventually.

That's what we tried last summer, visiting the Lego Store in Munich:

That WAS fun!
