Okay, so scratch off the word 'Exclusively' from the previous post. That is
incorrect--my bad...
While there are other merchants and suppliers who deal in Dacta products,
Pitsco-Lego Dacta is a partnership that is more involved than simply the
re-selling of merchandise. At one time (5 years ago or so) there were at least
four educational suppliers who had a strong relationship with Lego Dacta;
Pitsco-Lego Dacta appears to be the only partnership-type deal left.
As for The Construction Site, this is a brick-and-mortar retailer that has made
special arrangements with TLC/Lego Systems, Inc to sell products not available
to other Lego toy retailers--like Dacta and a larger assortment of Train sets.
Other people know more about this arrangement than I do, namely Todd Lehman.
Online ordering of Lego or Dacta is not allowed through
http://www.constructiontoys.com/ either as part of their arrangements with TLC.
I checked the availability of Dacta merchandise at the other sites you listed
and after a quick scan, it appears that these dealers do not carry the full,
complete line of current Dacta items. Pitsco does have the full assortment.
The original post by Jason simply aksed where to get Dacta stuff. The best
place is http://www.pldstore.com
Naturally Jason could have found this himself if he checked the lugnet.datca
page --> http://news.lugnet.com/dacta/
