Hey guys, I am wondering where the cheapest pace (US ONLY) to buy a Bioloid premium.

Here is one that I found for $1174.99 instead of $1199: http://vcshobbies.com/product2160_lastcat264.ihtml

I am getting one soon, please help. :!:

I too was looking for a good price but for a matter of a couple of dollars who is going to offer you the better support? I am in Australia and I ended up going through the local distributor and his support has been fantastic. tribotix.com.au support your local distributor.

i also got my kit (no premium though, not available at the time) from a local (dutch) retailer, however i've already found out that ordering parts (in my case servos) from local retailer often takes LONGER then from a online robotics store like robosavvy or trossen
