Here’s a compilation of all available NXT-G blocks NOT included in the NXT-G software installation. I divided these into groups corresponding (more or less) to the ‘Pallete’ for which these should be imported.
Note that in order to use these new blocks, you need to have the Dynamic Block Update installed. You can download it from http://mindstorms.lego.com/support/updates/
