Woo Hoo! I just received an e-mail from my parents that they picked up two 4561s at
Target for $32.44 each (to add to the two I paid $78 for when I was out there at
Christmas). They will check one more Target today for more. My local Target hasn't had
any of the 4561s in stock since October. Unfortunately, none of the Targets near me or
my parents seem to have the Mindstorms RIS set on clearance :(.
Anyone want to trade an extra Mindstorm RCX and sensors/motors for a 4561? Anyone want
to buy an extra speed regulator :)
Weeee!
