Even more important:  Why is Lego marking down the RCX 50%?  Are they
discontinuing this?

What is the story?  I can't believe that Spy-botics is replacing this:

Thoughts?

(...) I am certainly no expert on the RCX, but here is some conjecture based upon some pieces of "evidence." First, the RCX pictured on the LEGO Shop@Home web site is the 1.0 version. Second, the LEGO Outlet (at least the one in Georgia) is selling (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This is a good deal for a RIS 1.5 system. You can always buy a USB tower if you need one, but for anyone thinking about using alternative firmware on a non-windows machine, the 1.5 with the serial tower is easier to deal with. I think they are (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
