Well I don't have any "Power Functions" but I use my Spybotics units and my RCX for things like that.

Well, some of my favorite models that I have seen are the LEGO Tecnic Bulldozer, it's B model and an excavator made by theearthisntflat.  I generaly interagate my Power Functions with the NXT IR link and the NXT to make great, big models.  And some for NXT IR Link and Power Function users:   You can make a Power Function operated turret on top of a NXT robot by putting the IR Link right underneath the turntable for the turret and putting the IR receiver upside-down on top, so the turret can rotate 360 degress around without tangling any wires!

My fav is the Mar Mission Crystal Reaper!
Tip 1) Remember to have nine batteries or else your repaer will not funtion.
Tip 2) Run over all you Mars Mission aliens! It's really fun!

The only way I know is search them on LEGO and order them online (from LEGO). If you add up all the funtions and the shiping free for the funtions it = about $50 and the reaper is $50 so if you add those up to get every thing it costs about $100. Although it might seem pricy this set is well worth the price.
