Just heard that Mindstorms has been discontinued and a new product is due
out for the 2004 holiday.

Does that mean this Christmas ( end of 2003 ) or next ( end of 2004 )? Can't
imagine they would wait over a year to release something new...

Does anyone know?

I have been looking at Mindstorms for a while now and have noticed many
different deals. I noticed about 6 months ago, Lego S@H had some packages
for ~$230 you got 2.0, Ultimate Builders Set. They had other packages that
seemed like good deals also, but now they are gone.

They do offer a package with 2.0, a capacitor, a remote and some extra • gears
and wheels for $230 which seems decent.

Although I noticed they no longer sell Ultimate Builder's, Ultimate
Accessory and can't find any of the other Mindstorms add-ons ( Sports, • Mars,
Vision Command, etc. ).

Does this mean a new version of Mindstorms is close?

Or is Mindstorms going to be discontinued altogether? ( I don'y see how • this
could happen, because Mindstorms is so popular ).

Anyway, is there any good deals or packages out there that anyone knows • of?
I don't mind paying >$200, but just want to get a packages with extras if
possible.

Thanks,
Rand
