Sorry you missed out. Just tried it myself and updated the original post to indicate that the deals are no longer active. Note - I got in on some of these items in the morning.

Once I add the NXT to my shopping cart, the price goes to $349. Dave, I must disagree. Once I add the NXT to my shopping cart, the price goes to $349.

The prices are Canadian and are valid (at least for today). Switching the currency to US did not show the same sale items. So the prices may *seem* to be in US and at regular price, but for us Maple Leafs, they ARE sale prices in CAD dollars... Sorry that it does not seem to have applied to the US...

Note that the current Canadian price ($350) is out of line with what one would expect based on the US-Canadian exchange rate. Given a US$250 price, we should expect to pay about C$300 in Canada. It appears Lego is making significantly more profit (per NXT unit) on its Canadian customers than those in the US. I haven't compared to other countries though -- perhaps it is the US price that is out of line with the rest of the world. Hopefully this means there is about to be a sale.

Go to shop.lego.com (make sure you are in Canadian section) and do a search on NXT. It does come up as 249.99CAD, but then you click on the link and it is still 349.99 :( Something is weird here.
