Thanks for the pointer!
Two comments...
1) 219 is not exactly a discount, which is what I thought TigerDirect
was... a discount house...
2) I could not determine easily if shipping was extra or included. If
extra it's even worse of a deal since S@H doesn't charge shipping (or
tax, except CT). Argh.
3) I think they are using the same button images as the legomindstorms
site. I wonder if they got permission from TLG, no copyright info was on
the page... (1)
1 - That was three things.. So I can't count... That's what computers
are for, no?
