You can find it on sale at Radio Shack right now for $150.00. They stoped advertising it on the website for orders but all the local stores will have it on sale till june.

The only place you can "officially" buy Vex is through RS. These guys are just buying them at RS for $150 & selling them to suckers for a $30 profit. Don't fall for it. Search for Vex on radioshack.com , find the starter kit & click "Find it near you". You should be able to find a store in your area that carries it. If you can't find it in your area, several of the Seattle stores still have them & might be willing to ship it to you. Try Zip code 98133.

BTW, all the accessories are on sale also. See this thread for more info.
