If it's aimed at the Lego community they're likely to have some bricks
already. I don't think it's ever been pitched as being "in lieu" of
and RIS. It's a programmable brick which is compatible with Lego
components, not an RIS replacement. People who want to build something
from the instructions can buy an RIS. They're the same kind of people
who build the model that's on the box and leave it on a shelf. People
who've outgrown RIS and want more processing power and expanability
can buy a JCX.
I use Lego because it's an easy way to build the mechanicals of the
robots I want to build, not out of any great love of Lego or the
models they provide. It's all just pieces to me.

Handiboards also have far less processing power and expansion
potential.
