FYI - In the DC Metro area, Olde Towne Hobby Shoppe in Manassas, VA has become a Vex retailer.
You can find their address, phone #, etc. at this URL http://www.manassashobby.com/.
Carrying the Vex gear is a fairly new thing for them, so I don't think the Vex equipment is listed on the web site yet.
If you are in the area and can't wait for shipping from VexLABs (or just don't want to pay the shipping charges), or want to hold an item before paying for it, they can be your source.
Also, Foster's (just around the corner) makes nearly perfect (& big) burgers and fries.
:-)
Are other brick & mortar retailers popping up around the country? or are most replacements for Radio Shack web-only businesses? Anybody have any anecdotes? Should we start a thread that maintains a list of them?
