Not too worried. Well, I already have more Mindstorms gear than I’ll ever need,
and I’m sure that’s the case with the vast majority of the group. Not to mention
that I never used to buy anything from retail or lego.com anyway – that’s what
BrickLink is for - much better selection usually at lower prices.
Besides, if the RCX system is still supported thought the LEGO Education line, I
would imagine that Spectrum’s inventory will remain unchanged for “a couple of
years” ... at which point we will all have BlueTooth chips implanted into our
brains, making a complete switch to the NXT system a reasonable choice.
