    NXT release date. —John Barnes
   It currently says June? (URL) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: NXT release date. —Alexander Sack
     (...) John, I saw that too when someone responded to my thread and was confused as well. The reports I have been reading from CES have all said an August ship date. Perhaps, with all the enthusiasm generated by the Developer's Program, LEGO has (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: NXT release date. —Steve Hassenplug
     (...) Someone said they expected the release to fall back to Christmas. I would expect the release to fall from June to August. However, in this case, John and I don't know any more than anyone else... Steve (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Hi John, Obviously now it doesn't say "June 19th", but yesterday when I added NXT to my shop at home wish list, it did. Someone changed it. Kev (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: NXT release date. —Steve Hassenplug
     (...) This morning it said June 19th. Now, it just says "Coming soon". The release date is slipping... :) Steve (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: NXT release date. —Benton Jackson
     (...) Who says? "June" is not "soon", IMHO. So I think it's slipping forward! Here's one possibility- They were already planning to ship 100 in February. When they saw the enormous response to that program, they're changing their tune- they are (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: NXT release date. —Alexander Sack
     (...) Even though I do wish all of the above conjecture was true, I think it might be just a slip on the LEGO SHOP website. I agree that the August date was probably chosen to be inline with the next school year and that there is a strong (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: NXT release date. —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) I suspect that the logistics is a big issue. I am a debugger for a living, and know how to report the information that is critical to a bug. As a developer (of LPub and LSynth for example). Most of the bugs reported to me are extremely vague (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: NXT release date. —Alexander Sack
     (...) Yeah, I can understand though I still contend 100 is too small darn it! But your point is well understood (especially by me who has dealt with countless examples of this scenario). (...) Its fantastic no doubt! Very rarely do you find such a (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Kevin, I looked just today after reading John's message, and it said June 19th for me. But now I looked again and it just says 'Coming Soon'. Hmmm. Does Lego use Akamai? -Kyle (18 years ago, 19-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
