Lego Black NXT brick review

I bought this item really as just to have it as a souvenir to celebrate my time as a Lego Robotics coach at the Arthur S. Somers School in Brooklyn. From December to of 2008 to March of 2009 I mentored a team of Junior High School students to prepare for a competition in the First Lego League Climate Connections Challenge. We won a medal for best Robot design in the event held at Brooklyn Polytechnic University on January 10th 2009; this got us a spot in the New York City finals at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on March 7th 2009. There we came in 20th place out of 72 teams. The only thing different about this NXT brick is the color. Other than that it has the same functionality as the white NXT brick. The black brick however looks really cool when you build it into a project. I had so much fun learning about Lego Mindstorms, it is very cool toy that can inspire and stimulate the intellect in the areas of structural engineering as well as computer programming.
phil's NXT review

If you have $169 dollars that you need to waste buy this black mindstorms nxt. You could save half of that ammount and buy a white one on bricklink. I realy screwed up and have 5 others but just ad to have a 6th black one.
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!
