They STILL aren't available in the US except from Casio at $700, and CA tax
added $58 to that!  After shipping, the total was going to be $768.

So I went digging.  I found it in France, and even with shipping, I'll be
getting it for $628!  It's duty-free according to US Customs site, so I'm

Once I throw the 1G IBM Microdrive I just ordered in it, I should be able
to take 1000+ pics without having to dump to my Libretto.  I'll only be

So don't ONLY look for good Lego deals overseas ;-)

Ok, now that you're done bragging, are you going to post where you got all
these neat toys?
