[FTC]: Purchasing spare NXT brick

[smcmahon]

Can we buy a spare NXT brick, without buying the whole educational kit from LEGO? If so, can anyone provide a link (and hopefully a price)?

We are looking to acquire a second NXT brick for testing and software development. I'm just not too sure how to go about purchasing just an NXT brick.

You can buy one from several places, including direct from LEGO, (http://shop.lego.com/en-US/NXT-Intelligent-Brick-9841?CMP=KAC-SAHCSNA&HQS=9841) for about $150

Bricklink and Ebay are your other options. They run $50-$100 used and $100-$225 New.

They typically don't come with the rechargable battery, so you'll need to buy those as well.

Thank you very much! The $150 ballpark is fine for the NXT brick. Looks like the battery runs about $55 new. Good stuff to know, thanks for the resources!
