Black NXT!!!!: What’s NXT?
Today LEGO is launching the long awaited Black NXT brick! The limited edition black brick is being launched as part of the MINDSTORMS 10 year anniversary.
LEGO has said that they have seen a popular demand for the Black NXT, so they made an exclusive run of them.
If you want to purchase a Black NXT before they run out, you will be able to order them from amazon.com for $169. I think there is a free shipping option for US customers.
It will also be sold through the LEGO shop@Home for customer living in Canada and USA.
It is a shame they did not make matching black motors and sensors to go with it – but still – you can make some really cool robots using the black NXT and some black TECHIC pieces.
In the coming weeks we will be sharing some really cool black models that incorporates the black NXT.

Otherwise, either it as to be ordered from US (paying heavy custom taxes), or the profit will again be left for some speculators at BrickLink...

This looks cool, but I'll have to pass on just a color change.

I know you can still order from Amazon.com (USA) from offshore - but Amazon.com have restrictions on certain types of items for shipping to certain non US countries.
Robotica - Given you are in the Netherlands - it is a bit funny that if you order a Black NXT - it will go from Billund to USA, and then get shipped back to Europe again !!
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, as well as building instructions for special models.
In the coming weeks we will show what other users have already made with their Black NXT – here’s a first peak.

actually, it even doesn't get shipped - amazon.com does not deliver this item outside the United States.

After digging around the web, and almost giving up on "How do I get the supposed exclusive downloads?", I found a photo of the easily-overlooked black sticker (on the box) that has the URL for the downloads.
Not that the downloads are a big treasure-trove or anything, but after what we paid...
