Mindstorm Mine

The eBay auction I was watching has quickly exceeded $175.00 — with several hours remaining! — which is precariously close to my somewhat vague and ill-defined but still self-imposed limit, that point where I might as well just give in and spend a bit more money to order it somewhere else. I happened to check the price on Amazon.com (to aid in the decision-making process), and I was surprised and delighted to discover that they had dropped the price to just under $200! (That's $50 off the list price, and even a bit better than Amazon's previous discount.) That was good enough for me.

(Yesterday, I ordered a white lab coat for my son, just for fun. I'll package that, and any other related items I can find, in a large box, and tell him it's his very own Inventor's Kit.)
