I think those would be excellent but that is one of the China wholesalers where you have to buy like 20,000 piece minimum.

Besides, I was looking for something that is shaped like a little Mario Brothers dude. :D

I placed an order and I got it within a week by registered mail. I ordered two bundles of wire, their deal on capacitors, resistors and leds, bamboo tweezers and two circuit boards. I didn't measure the box it came in but it was probably a 5 inch box and the wires felt like those wires you get from headphones you can buy at the dollar store. The wires are convienient but I think Brad's idea of using heavier guage wire is probably a better idea. The components are small so I'm not sure I'm getting my money's worth. The only other breadboard wires I bought were from a distributor (Smartboards) from Elenco and they are heavier guage wires at different and smaller lengths.

I'm ready to start doing Brad's tutorials now when I get a chance :)

Digi-Key - you'll find anything!

I recommend Digi-Key, they have over 1 million components from hundreds of suppliers... you can view their catalog, their product index, or do a search if you know the part # you want.

Hello
I think large retailers are able to negotiate lower pricing than small shippers, their volume discounts are not the reason for the shipping charge you encountered. The truth is, the retailer is subsidizing the shipping. They bury part of the shipping cost in the price of the item to increase the likelihood you will buy from them.
