From the Manufacturer
Now you can be the proud owner of one of the Limited Edition Black NXT micro-controllers that we have produced to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of LEGO MINDSTORMS. The first LEGO MINDSTORMS products came out in the year 1998 and have since then continued to bring fun and active building and programming experiences to millions of robotic builders across the world! Why a Black NXT? Because it is cool! And looking around in the MINDSTORMS community we noticed that a Black NXT was high on the wish list among users. Once you have bought and received your new Black NXT you will get access to additional materials like a special-made program for the Black NXT, a personal certificate of ownership, wallpapers, building instructions for special models.

Customer Reviews

Don't buy unless you're a collector!
There is no doubt that the Lego NXT is an amazing product. I can personally attest it since I have two myself! but this particular model is considerably more expensive than the garden variety and should only be considered for purchase if you're in need of a special/different version of an otherwise exact and same product. Apart from the black color, it's in no way different from the less expensive model that you can get on the Lego Education page, not even considering that it only refers to the programable brick itself, without any other parts, cables or whatsoever. I give it three stars because its only difference from the other NXT brick is it's color and price. You can even forget about that 'special' program: the only really special programm is the one you write yourself. Besides, I'm sure you can later get it on the net for free. Amazing product, but buy the cheaper one!

Black NXT. Good price from Amazon.
I have RIS 2.0 already, and I don't want to spend $[...] on the full kit. So this is the best option for me. I have also purchased additional sensors (lego and from 3rd party) and converter cables.

Black NXT or White NXT ...
... it all spells fun! I am one of those boys that never grew up and left toys behind. As a child, LEGOs were never in the picture; but, all of that changed 10 years ago when I stumbled into the world of LEGO Mindstorms RDS. Since then it has been a steady progression from Mindstorms RCX 1.0 thru 2.0, then a backwards regression to the previous Cybermaster set, forward again with the LEGO Dark Side and Droid kits, Spybotics, and now the Mindstorms NXT 1.0, 2.0 sets, and special 10th Anniversary NXT. The best part is putting the RCX and NXT technologies together into single robotics and mechanical devices using delivered sensors and actuators, second source devices, as well as devices that I have built myself.

I cannot think of a single toy that has a bigger bang for the buck than Lego Mindstorms from electrical and mechanical engineering standpoint, learning tool, and a great diversion away from stupid video games. Best of all, it is some thing that all boys from 6 to 100 will enjoy. (Sorry kids, I view video games as fodder for the brain dead!)
