I doubt he's going to save much on it anywhere.

Here's a better link to check prices on --

&price1=100.00&price2=300.00&scoring=p

Is it worth it to buy it off of eBay to save $10, but then pay $14 for
shipping?  I'm not so sure.

Or, if you like to pay a little extra, and enjoy photoshopped pictures
of a Blade CX with porn stars while you wait, check this auction out--

(I'm especially amused by his last picture, where it looks like the
helicopter just escaped out the giant stripper's nether regions!  And
she is a giant -- she's twice as tall as the trees!  And the
helicopter is huge too!)

If your local hobby shop stocks Blade CX parts and not Esky Lama 2
parts (which is likely), go for the Blade CX.  You'll be needing
parts, and you won't want to have to stock up beforehand or buy every
little thing on the Internet.

If they do stock Esky Lama 2 parts, it might be a better option, but
I've never seen it myself so I can't comment on it.  But either way,
local parts availibility is very important for a helicopter!
