     (...) I heard a news report about a software glitch that Amazon had that reduced prices up to 50%. They stated that they will honor all prices that were listed. So if anyone ordered anything call them back and get them to honor their prices. Rose (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   (...) There's been at least one report of the *regular* price on this set being lowered to $80: see a thread entitled "MindStorms Price Drop" on r.t.l, starting about 22-Jul-00. Ran (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   A regular price drop to $80 would be nice, then Amazon would have no excuse for sending me this lame excuse for cancelling my order: "We are sorry to report that we have contacted the supplier, and the price of the following item has increased: (...)

     That's the excuse they gave you? The one they gave me was there was some kind of software glitch on their system that mistagged a lot of toys. Here is the "official" story: (URL) know a lot of places will honor mistagged merch sales, but they've got (...) (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

     (...) I hate to sound greedy, but does anyone know of additional discounts/coupons through Amazon.com? I want to buy - but I'm also curious about the regular price drop that was mentioned... should I wait? (24 years ago, 6-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: Amazon is showing 9735 for $74.99 (again) —Ran Talbott
   (...) I just double-checked, and I goofed: it was actually $90, not $80. Which is good news for me, because I have one to trade/sell, and I won't have to take as big a hit on it ;-) Ran (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   I know this sounds silly but... We got ours on Wednesday and I think I like it better than RIS (which we've had for about a year now.) Yes, the RIS (RCX) is better, but we love to just throw together something and try it out. No programming etc. I (...) (24 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

   (...) It's not silly at all: it's just another example of "horses for courses". What *would* be silly is to argue that the RDS or the RIS is *inherently* better or worse than the other: each one has its strengths and weaknesses, and the individual (...)
