I am looking for a source to buy several Lego NXT kits.

Where does one buy this kit for less than list price?

Thanks

I just saw some going for about $188 BuyItNow price.
Patience and saavy might get you a much better deal.
Good luck !

Thanks...anywhere else?

As a side issue....how does Lego get away with the obvious price
fixing that is occurring with this product?

I'm thinking its just what the market will support right now. Once these become
older and less desirable, sellers will be forced
to take less for them. Right now sellers know they can get top dollar.

On eBay I've found that patience is the key. Also search for misspellings -
fewer people look and bid on the ones that are
misspelled either because of ignorance or rushing through the ad posting.
