Maneesh,

I think that it depends mostly on who you speak with at Lego.  Per Rick's
instructions, I called Lego customer service last night to order the upgrade.
The person that I spoke with had to seek out a manager to figure out how to
handle it and she then referred me to S@H.  She did not transfer me or "mark"
me as an upgrade customer - she just gave me the number and said to call S@H.
The person at S@H was familiar with the $25 upgrade but she also had to find a
manager to get the $3.95 deal.  My RIS was purchased on September 25 but did
not have the 1.5 sticker.  There was never any mention of sending in the box
or requiring more proof than my word.  I also ordered some additional parts
and if all goes well I should have them in a few days (yeah, I payed for 2 - 4
day delivery).

Good luck with yours,
Zac Pollock

Hi! I got a RIS 1.0 in October. I called up Lego Consumer affairs to ask for an update kit for $3.95. They said it is only possible if I had bought from S@H. They also say that it is available to only those lego RIS which have a sticker on the box. (...) (27 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
