[Paul Curtis] In the 1999 UK catalogue, where Mindstorms is
already available, there is no mention. Only Cybermaster. I've been to
a number of places which sell Mindstorms, and they still have units on
shelves. I think I must be the only person to pick up a Mindstorms kit
from PC World -- they had about 40 units in my local store before
Christmas, and they have about the same now. Hopefully, they'll reduce
the price of it so that they can shift the boxes, at which time I'll
purchase another two.

If they do reduce the price, do please tell the list (a second RIS would make an ideal expansion set!) - although I think it's unlikely in the near future; they've only just received their expansion sets. Also, Maplin have got Mindstorms now (...) (26 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
