Great news Chris!! I am very excited to get my hands on the full collection. I just hope the Canadian resellers order and stock the new upcoming modules quickly. I get extremely jealous when Chuck has already posted his review and successes before I can even place an order.
If you have trouble finding stock for any GoBus modules, just let us know. We will work with resellers and ecosystem partners and try to find a way to make them available...

It seems to me that Europe is a hard place to get a hold of the new modules...
i bought my Netduino Go Starter Kit at www.skpang.co.uk, and i would love to be able to purchase some modules there too, but anywhere in Europe would do.
I have no project, just playing with it to learn something about electronics, but i will need a LCD module, SD card module and network module soon i think.

UAM stocks many of the GoModules.but anywhere in Europe would do.
Watterott has also just received all of the modules we make (although you may need to ping them...they don't have them listed quite yet).
Also, many of the US-based resellers (like [nwazet and Proto-Advantage) ship internationally, at a reasonable price.

As you can see from Gen1.jpg, my family started out with humble beginnings on some home made PC boards, although this was kind of fun, creating 0.25mm pads for the gyro's was a bit of challenge.
Next came Gen2.jpg, these where some boards I ordered from OSH Park. They have an awesome service where you can upload your .BRD files from eagle and it shows you a preview of what they will look like. They are very inexpensive as well. Pictured in Gen2.jpg is my sensor module w/ Gyro/Accelerometer/Magnometer and Pressure sensors, it also has a 32K EEPROM. Also a WiFi board, a GPIO board that takes PWM as input and provides PWM output to control ESCs for the motors and finally a WiFi and GPS board.
Finally in Gen3.jpg, you can see my combinded board with all the above modules with the shape as the GO! main board. This one sits on top and uses a ribon cable to attach the modules to the GO! board. Next one will use female modular connectors on the bottom of the board to "snap" the modules onto the main board. Sort like the shields for the original Netduino.
I'm actually getting faily close to wrapping up V1 of this, once I do so I'll publish all the HW/SW. Until then if anyone is interested in getting involved and looking at some of my code, PM me and we'll work something out. I might even have a few spare blank PCB's laying around I can send out for you to populate.

That's just awesome! Are you considering making a kit of it? I would love to get my hands on such a thing!I guess I can add my little family's pictures to this thread. I'm building a Netduino powered Quad Copter called NiVek GO! QC1. More details on this to come.

Anything is possible
Once I get it 100% I'll figured out I'll evaluate some options and gauge interest. Unfortunately the parts alone are pretty expensive so it’s not going to be all that cheap.
Of course if you want to build your own from scratch, I'll make sure there's a nice write-up, and will make the firmware available. Hand soldering the NiVek control board might be a bit of a challenge though
To wet your appetite, here's a post I did on my progress to-date:
