Try www.pldstore.com... I'd be very surprised if you can't place an
order.  As far as calling that company again, what is the worst they can
do?  Say "No"?  Worth a try... Worst comes to worst... form an FLL team,
teach some kids how to program robots and buy through PitscoLEGODacta
(or their rep) totally legitimately any way they look at it.  Maybe that
should be best case scenario, start up an FLL team...

I cannot purchase from Pitsco.  That is a certainty.  Pitsco does not
sell to areas which have regional educational suppliers, and I am
located in Western Canada, where the supplier for the educational
division of LEGO is Spectrum Education.

The last time I spoke to them about purchasing from them (about 2 • years
ago now), they said that they were an educational supplier, not a toy
store.  Call it "once bitten twice shy" if you will, but suffice to • say
I'm not particularly keen on calling them again to see if they've
changed their tune.
