LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT is back and better than ever: new models, more customizable programming and all-new technologies! MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 combines the versatility of the LEGO building system with all-new technologies, an intelligent microcomputer brick and intuitive drag-and-drop programming software. The new 2.0 toolkit features everything you need to create your first robot in 30 minutes and then thousands of other robotics inventions that do what you want!To be able to understand why LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name. LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen by combining the Danish words Leg Got that means play well and later realized that the word LEGO in Latin translates to I put together. The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children around the world, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. Most historians point to the invention of the wheel as a major turning point in world history. The invention of the LEGO wheel had the same monumental effect in the history of LEGO, making it possible to create cars, trucks and eventually the LEGO train building set that is one of the most successful LEGO sets of all time. LEGO innovation continues to this day with product lines like DUPLO that was created in 1969 for smaller hands and still thrives. Movie tie-ins, such as LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Indiana Jones Adventures and LEGO SpongeBob are some of the most popular sets. The Sci-Fi LEGO Bionicle sets have a huge following but the number one selling LEGO set of all time is The LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. Over 1 million of these sets were sold around the world. In 2009 LEGO introduces the next generation LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0! LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each!

The LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a great lego product because the building of it challenges you as well as gives you a lot of fun to play with. Because it is made by Lego, its quality is really good, and it has a good value for money. Altogether, it is a LEGO product with outstanding quality and great value for money.
Why did I attempt to buy this product at this website?????, Again was lead to believe the product was here in Australia, But OOHHHH NO... this product is coming from overseas, fishpond can't ( or won't ) tell me where it is, the NXT 2.0 seemed great price wise at least, but the angst waiting for it we that is another story.
One minute the people at fishpond.com.au informed me that this product was on its way, the next minute they couldn't find it, then when they did find it it was delayed and then to top it all off fishpond don't even insure the product in case it gets lost or stolen (what the???... on such an expensive item).
Oh, and then after many enquiries I was then informed that the Mindtorm was cancelled after waing almost three weeks, and I am still waiting for the $380 odd dollars to be re-credited to my account.
Better still, my son who was to get this present for christmas/birthday, unfortunately will be greatly dissapointed.
Thank you very much Fishpond.com.au , never again.
