You can find Mindstorms at most of the Lego stores. The price isn't cheap,
though--its the standard pricing. I think TRU stopped carrying them because
Mindstorms only seems to sell really well during Christmas periods, and as any
retailer will tell you--everything is about inventory turnover--you have to have
a high inventory turnover. Big boxes that cost 200 bucks don't turnover
quickly. They'll opt for the $10-$50 smaller sets. Gives you a higher turnover
and makes the store numbers look better. It's the same story at Wal-Mart.
