I noted this in another thread, but for anyone looking at any of the eToys deals (not just this one): Don't worry too much about getting ripped off. I ordered from eToys last week (Friday, 01/04) and yesterday (Thursday, 01/10) my stuff arrived. I've ordered twice more since then and have a...
Yeah, me again (the one who got the $4.99 Mindstorms at Best Buy that no one else has been able to find.)
By way of making it up to you Mindstorms fans, eToys has just dropped the price of the Vision Command set to $23.99! This will probably go quick - it's still $90 to $100 everywhere else...

For what it's worth, I'm in Snellville, Georgia - a Northeast "cross a street" suburb of Atlanta. The Best Buy I was in is on Hwy 78 by Stone Mountain. They had one Robo Sports set left, but the shrinkwrap was ripped on it.
The checkout clerk (who has been there a long time, he must...
If anyone out there is into the Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System (the one that lets you design, build and program your own robots,) then run, don't walk, over to your local BestBuy for a really hot deal! I was just in BestBuy this afternoon and noticed that one of the expansion sets...
chutz 123 - I'd do a litt;e more checking before you swap for a pcmcia version for your notebook. Chances are that the unit itself is the same, just uses a pcmcia card instead of a usb plug on the end of the cable for conecting to your notebook.
