For anyone living near southeast Massachusetts, you could try calling Toys R Us
in Kingston. I bought one there for $130 (which is a lot cheaper) and they
still had 8 left.
Their number is 781-585-1200, and they're open until 9:30 PM. Just make sure to
tell them to look on the very top-top shelf. That's where most of the sets
were, and they won't think to look there if you don't tell them to. Also
confirm the price, if they quote a really low price they're probably looking at
the non-Technics set that has a space shuttle in it (I don't know the exact set
name or number but it was something like "launch command center". It's not in
the PAUSE magazine guide)
