I know that some folks already have gotten the NXT and have started playing
with it, but I've yet to see anybody announcing such here, so I was curious.
Also: should I direct new NXT users into the LUGNET forums? I'm already starting
to get more questions than I can answer...
If you've got it, first impressions?

In my two previous tests with the RCX it took about three days with standard shipping to arrive at my door (counting from when shop@home sends me shipment notification). My test (...)

| Got 4 a few days ago and gave a couple of kits to my advanced robot kids at our summer camps. Actually, they were quite underwhelmed. They didn't like the new motor structure and felt instructions weren't correct and prefer the Mindstorms old (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Thursday, when I saw this thread, I hadn't gotten a shipping email, so I looked on shop.lego.com for my orders. I didn't see it their either, so I figured it got lost in the shuffle.

| I ordered mine from Target online. They had a deal for 10% everthing, so with tax and shipping it still worked out to less than $250. The web site says delivery for end of July, but I received mine on June 30. So far have built only the demo Tribot (...) (18 years ago, 3-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

A little late, but I got mine today and here are my first impressions: 1) Paid 2 day shipping on Friday and it got here today (was hoping to have it to play with on July 4th, but...) 2) I decided to try to be patient and read the instructions!
