I have not yet played much with pneumatics yet - but I have bought plenty of

Chances are that this model will also drive the prices down on ebay / bricklink
as well. Up to now, pneumantic components have indeed been pricey. Not taking
into account the new backhoe, I would say that if you're building a pneumatics
workshop from scratch, you're looking at spending somewhere in between the cost
of an RCX and the cost of a RIS box.
