hey,
I'm curious if EV3 sets can already be preordered, either in the U.S. or in Europe.
Has anybody got some related links ?

You can pre-order the Education version from the Education site.

The education BoM is really nice and probably a lot more suitable for your needs :)

Make sure to be extra super nice to John over the next while, while he works on the Not Quite EV3 programming environment, or he'll go on a long (well deserved) vacation and force you to use the graphical programming environment, Muahaha! To be fair, it's actually quite a nice IDE but it may not be quite your taste.

education BoM - is that the base set that I meant?

but - no: graphical environment - never, never, never !
maybe I'll even better wait until the daisy chain thing is running definitely and indisputable smoothly 8-)
