(...) Yeah, we've seen that. Guess what sucks more? "Not available in this country." And that's the official line you get for anywhere else, including Sweden (where I live) and Denmark (our neighbours, where Lego are). (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Did you guys see the MSRP on the NXT? "suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD)" But as of today 249.99 USD = 291.20 CAD That extra $90 sucks! -Rob A> (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I didn't see Steve say anything...All I saw is a couple of general questions about whether you thought prototypes would be identical to production hardware. Bryan (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I just can’t believe how slow and noisy, not to mention cumbersome, are the new motors. Sure the built-in rotation sensors is a nice touch, but surly they won’t be able to match the versatility of a pair of smaller technic motors and the (...)
