I wasn't sure where to post this, butˇthe sandbox seemed as good a place as any.
With the latest Parallax E-bay auction announcement, I decided to get in on the Boe Bot action, having been an SX guy only, never messed with the stamps etc.ˇ So I decided it might be fun and I promptly put in some bids.ˇ (Good Christmas presents for the kids too.) (Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!)
Anyway, I dove in, but decided I was only going to go as high as half the price of the new stuff.ˇ I promptly got outbid on the Boe Bots, I guess they are pretty popular.ˇ Lest anyone feel pity on me, I did score a Scribbler, BOE and Stamp activity kit.ˇ But I digress.
Whilst looking around on www.microcenter.com (http://www.microcenter.com), for a completely other reason, I stumbled across this:

Zowie! Thought I, that's less than what they are going for on E-bay. So I bought two.ˇ Should be here tomorrow, which I've decided is one advantage to living in Ohio, where MicroCenter got started. The 'bots appear to be coming from Columbus.
I hope this proves useful to anyone on a budget, I've pretty much blown mine for the rest of the year!ˇ I just hope I can get the kids interested. Really.
