I wonder how many Mindstorms have been sold? Assuming serial numbers (S/N) are assigned sequentially might give a good indication. I have a RCX 1.0 S/N 022751 purchased when Mindstorms first came out. And I have a a RCX 2.0 (S/N 591822) obtained (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics)

Adding extra digits depends on the machine making the parts. Due to the uniformity and spacing of the numbers on all three of my RCX's, I'd say that's unlikely--but possible. On my RCX's, the numbers are all formed into the plastic, which suggests (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics)
