I ended up ordering from two companies - A Plus and IFIT. Here's the breakdown:
From A Plus I was originally only getting the cylinder blocks and number rods since they were out of stock at IFIT. But then IFIT went out of stock on their $18 Geometric Form Cards. They wouldn't ship them separately for free, so that would have been an extra $12. It irritated me a little that I was about to spend $761 at their store, and they couldn't swing the $12. (It would be silly for me to pay $30 total to get them later, and if I waited they would probably go out of stock on something else.) I really wanted to get both the cards and the cabinet from the same place. So I ended up ordering everything from A Plus that was cheaper. (It evened out - some things were more, others were much less.) My total there was $481 (it would have been $507 at IFIT) plus, since I spent over $400 I saved about $30 on shipping.
| Item | Price |
| Cylinder Blocks | $104.95 |
| Numerical Rods | $38.58 |
| Geometric Form Cards | $10.95 |
| Geometric Cabinet | $147.45 |
| Puzzle Map of USA | $25.95 |

| Knobless Cylinders | $48.95 |
| TOTAL | $481.68 |
Below is my order from IFIT. As you can see, I threw in a few things I didn't plan on getting. Since we're about to have baby #3, I decided to get a few infant toys. My first two boys have LOVED the cylinder imbucare box and coin box that we've had for the past two years. I think these three infant toys will get a lot of use as well, and the price was not too bad. I bought a gift card from IFIT using a Visa Gift Card I got as a rebate on our appliances for $526 when I thought my order was going to be $761. I was going to have to use two forms of payment and this was the only way I could see to do that. Well, once I decided to move some items over to A Plus, I was sorta stuck using that balance at IFIT. So I added some botany and zoology puzzles and the metal insets.
