[Question] Where do I get a new LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit for a cheap price?

[CDK]

Every where I go I see LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 for $279.99 and the ones that are great deals are used and missing parts. Can somebody tell me a cheap place to get it?

Lego has its own outlet stores. I don't know if it's cheaper to buy directly from them, but it might be worth a try.

yea they sill sell the 2.0 kit as of the last catalog i got from lego. its not gonna be cheap. if you want a used one try bricklink, its like the ebay of lego.

I already tried BrickLink and every one they had was cheap but I didn't see the 2.0 version.

The difference between the two versions isn't huge. The main difference is that they each have a slightly different sensor set.

i decided i didnt need the smart brick anymore when i was coding in nxc and wiring in custom sensors on the i2c bus. i still use the lego motors and sensors, i just have them connected to an arduino or some other board i made in the kitchen.

What are the differences?

my 2.0 came with 3 motors (built in rotory encoders for feedback), 2 touch sensors (they are just buttons really), ultrasonic sensor, and color sensor iirc. i think the original had a more basic light sensor, and it also has a sound sensor that is not in the 2.0 set. the software is a different version too, but i think its upgradable. if you look the set up on brick link, there is a parts inventory.

1.0: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8527-1

2.0: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8547-1

and they do have used 2.0 sets for sale in various conditions. but the price isnt much lower. lego sets are expensive.

I bought one long time ago, paid something like 300€ for it. Got bored of it after a week or so and put it aside for a long time. Last time i throwed a look onto it i find out that the batteries leaked, ouch

Always remove batteries from devices you won't use for a longer period.

Is it differences?

Are you saying that NXT 1.0 and​ 2.0 are the same? (That's not what you just posted in the quote, I just made it a more simple version of what you might have said)

[CDK]

I guess I'll just get NXT 1.0. - I guess this thread can be closed (might re-open it).

[CDK]

Re-opened. I researched NXT 1.0 and NXT 2.0 and NXT 2.0 is better. Plus, you can just buy that other sensor that NXT 1.0 comes with online. So, any good (if not, really good) deals out there for NXT 2.0 kit?

I'm getting one anyways for Christmas. Just wondering if there was any other really good deal. I'm getting from Walmart (it costs at Walmart $279.99. Hopefully the price will go down by Christmas).
