Good point. But if you have many motors, gears, parts, etc. Why pay for
mindstorms? My first RCX was from the Mindstorms set, but the other ones
have not been...they are from Pitsco.

Why wait...Pitsco has the RCX brick (without all of the other RIS stuff) • for
$120US. I just ordered another one and it is in stock. Don't have the • number
handy, but you can get there from http://www.pitsco.com

You don't think its worth the additional $80 to get two motors, two
touch sensors, a light sensor, and another 700+ bricks by just buying
the Mindstorms set?  Just the motors and sensors alone would cost you
the $80 from Pitsco.  Its like getting 700 pieces for free.
