I have to go with the "This is STILL awfully pricey" line of thought.
Considering I've been picking up whole Robotic Invention System sets
(version 1.0 with the same RCX) for as low as $140, I don't see the point of
spending $130 for just the brick. I think TLC still hasn't gotten pricing
down yet. The price on RIS sets was cut a while back, but not the RCX
price. It seems that I'm STILL tripping over old 1.0 sets in shelfworn -
and usually discounted - condition. I'm not alone given the number of sets
available on eBay at any given time. I'd rather buy a used RIS set with the
extras than pay full price for the brick. Even if only interested in the
brick, you can buy a set and part out the sensors, wheels and such and come
up with a far lower price.
