(...) The difference in parts seems to be minor, look here: (URL) of course the RCX 1.5 doesn't have a power adaptor, so they won't be able to recycle them. Also, as far as I could see, DACTA always sold bricks with the power adaptor. Jürgen "should (...) (24 years ago, 13-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I suspect there is a combination of things going on here: 1. Christmas rush for the kits that are out there. 2. No further production of 1.5 since 2.0 will be out shortly (anyone know when, exactly?) 3. Possible recycling of kits still in TLC's (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
