Does anyone know of a cheap place in the U.S. to get LEGO Mindstorms RIS

it's sold through Toys R Us. Ironically, I went to the local Toys R Us and
they don't carry it anymore.

they've let the product that saved their bacon stagnate.

$150 IS a cheap price. It's listed for $200 on shop.lego.com, same price it's

selling it for $170. If you can get it for $150 plus tax, jump on it.


Here's a link:
