Where to buy Arduino kits?

Does anybody know where I can buy an Arduino kit locally? I'm not interested in ordering online. I know there's Lee's Electronics on Main st. but is there anywhere closer to Metrotown, or a skytrain station for that matter?

Thanks!

I think Lee's and this place are the only places to buy locally.

You should consider this as well.

hvwtech.com (also solarbotics.com - same company) in Calgary has tons of stuff you might be interested in. I know you said local, but they ship overnight for pretty damn cheap. I order from them all the time and always had great service.

What exactly are you planning on doing with the Arduino? What would you consider your skill level in programming?

I bought mine from Lee's although you already know that. Lee's is about 5 blocks from the new skytrain station on Main and 25th. What sort of project are you planning to do?

This thread is two years old.

The only reason why it is been bumped is because cta2010 is promoting that website.
