I am in Glen Ellyn area..... I looked at AES and thought about it. I would
have had to pay sales tax which would have brought it up there a little in
price. Ended up getting it from www.buy.com for $281 shipped. AES was $299
delivered without tax. Suppose I could have had them ship it from AES and
probably gotten it quicker than buy.com and not paid the tax.which would
have been $16.80.

Total from AES would have been $306.79 not including a 200 mile round trip,
and we all know what gas costs these days.

Opps. I just noticed Fred S is in Lake in the Hills. Biff, I have no idea
where you are......still Milwaukee isn't that far from Chicago....

I see you are in Lake in the Hills. Being that far north, why not head
up
to
AES in Milwaukee?? As far as "the toy store", I've tried to visit the
place
in the past. The hours are kind of hit and miss. You may want to call
first
to make sure the owner will be there as it seems like a one-man shop.


Just a thought,
