Hi all,

  I just saw a press release for a new online retailer, Kidstoysplus.com,
Inc.  They say that they specialize in "collectible, hobby, and toy products"
which really seems to cover about everything, but the important news is that
they carry the full North American LEGO line, including Primo and Mindstorms,
but I don't see any Belville or Scala.  Here are some prices for comparison:

set                    Kidstoysplus            US MSRP
Droid Developer Kit    $107.13                 $99.99
Railway Express        $123.56                 $129.99
Blaze Attack           $14.30                  $14.99
Mos Espa Pod Race      $80.76                  $89.99
River Expedition       $39.01                  $49.99
Desert Skiff           $6.59                   $5.99

So as you can see, sometimes they are higher than MSRP, and sometimes they are
lower -- as much as 20% lower.  So buyer beware as you are shopping!

  BTW, I have absolutely no affiliation with this company, nor have I ever
used them.  I just wanted to let you know that the online toy retailing market
isn't dead yet!

Oops, sorry to follow-up on my own posting, but I just noticed that apparently all orders are 10% off now (see the letter from the President at (URL) In addition, there is a flat shipping rate of $6 for standard shipping, which is fairly low.

Try this one: 6616 Rocket Dragster $0.00 It HAS to be a mistake. This looks to be a $15 set. One other mistake seems to exist in the Throwbots realm.- 4 for $6.60 Also-the new Dino sets are there, but not easily located like the other sets. (...)
