This is the best ad that Lego could ask for Mindstorms NXT. I had absolutely no idea that it came with touch, light (color), sound, and ultrasonic sensors. I really want to buy a kit now and see what I can do with it.

You should note that the colour sensor that it comes with can't tell the yellow and white blocks apart very well. To do what this robot did you will need to get either different stickers for the rubicks cube or buy a third party color sensor.
Just as a data point for you to consider, I know the NXT 2.0 are supposed to be out in August.

I am waiting for 2.0 but maybe you could find some deals on the 1.0 versions.

Just FYI
