The case isn't that cool:) There has been a few in aluminum suitcases,
but generally it's delivered in cardbox suitcases. But it is a very
good set, it can be programmed with many of the same tools as the
Mindstorms, as it has many of the same functions as the RCX. The big
difference is that it has two onboard motors, and outlet for one
external motor, and it will only accept passive sensors. The RC link
is IMO a mayor advantage, as I'm more to direct control than
programming.
If you want one, you need to decide quickly, as they're rapidly being
sold out (at least around here, where they're going for app. 500DKK).
I can help you get one if you like, but you need to be quick about it.
Kind regards
