Shopped in the BIG NAME sports stores and even the smaller select stores but couldn't find this set or similiar ones in stock anywhere. When I did locate the EXACT set on line, they wanted DOUBLE the price and twice the shipping. This got to our home in 2 days and my son put it together in 2 minutes and has been laxing with it ever since. Injured in summer lax, this set has to keep him busy indoors until he gets back on the fields.
