Our school got a few VEX kits, so we went to RS shopping for parts...they did seem about twice as expensive as they should be! so the 50% off sale puts the price about where it should have been in the first place (if they had actually wanted the product to sell)

We scoped out 3 local stores yesterday at lunch time, 2 did not carry the VEX line, the other store which is newer, in the mall, does have them but was not marked down and the counter people had not heard about a sale.

I'll check back frequently to see what happens.

Also a friend of mine has a 10 yr old grandson who is trying to get into this stuff...my friend would buy the VEX kit at $150, but not at $300.
