If extra it's even worse of a deal since S@H doesn't charge (...) (26 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Best Price for Mindstorms —Dirk Leas
     I need to buy Mindstorms for my son. Where's the best deal? I'm assuming I'll be buying it mail-order. I live in Phoenix, just in case someone local discounts the price. TIA, Dirk (26 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

         Re: Best Price for Mindstorms —Brett Testerman
     I picked up mine at the Fry's in Tempe for $199. I was down there last week and they still had a couple of them left.

   (...) The discount is the time you have to wait........ Is it not scarce? Do they not have them in stock? Soooooo, they discount the waiting period......... Sorry, I am just being silly..... (26 years ago, 14-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        No discount? (was Re: Online ordering available —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Well, it may or may not be scarce. I have in the last two days been to the Learningsmith in Cherry Creek Mall, Denver CO, and the Learningsmith in Woodland Mall, Kentwood/GR, MI, and both of these fine establishments have at least 3 of the (...)
