“Sorry, item is not available in this country: Australia.”

As mentioned earlier, “… Bah, and indeed, humbug.”

Not available from the Lego Shop or Amazon in the UK.

Bah, and indeed, humbug.

I wonder if the NXT 2.0 has a better one. If not, I’m getting the black one plus the 2.0 kit to create something I’ve been wanting to make for a long time.

I agree the after market might go up very limitedly but after the new system come sout in a year or 3 the price will hit rock bottom.

I’m honestly not sure how much this would sell for on the after market…I mean unlike most LEGO this is technology-based, meaning that once the next system comes along this will be obsolete, and only worthwhile as a collector’s item. While some may pay sure, I doubt it’ll go as crazy-high as if this were a normal brick.

Wait, so the only special thing about it is that there’s only 1998 in the world, and it’s black?

The white one costs like $149.99 right?

Ordered mine about an hour ago. First time I’ve order a Lego product and will never open the box. I fell a bit foolish paying 170 bucks for it but, I bet there are others out there who will pay much much more after they are gone.
