What type of turntable? The old, taller one? or the new, shorter one? Have you tried bricklink.com?

They normally cost about $6 US each, plus shipping. To get two, it would probably cost you about $15-$20 US. Lego edu sells them in packs of 2 for $12 (plus shipping, which is around $7).

Bricklink might have them for cheaper.

These parts at Bricklink are cheeper now, back a few years ago not so. But since more kits have them more parts and so price dropped I have found them for 4$(4-5$ selling price) and shipping from most bricklinkers is fair price for USPS. Most my small orders of say 10-30$ is never more than 3 dollars to ship inside the USA.( note: here you must be 18 to buy or sell on bricklink)

Lego ED is a good place to find some bulk parts but. Cavet emptor, "buyer beware" , meaning it is up to you to be infomed on what you buy and pay for. Shipping is HIGH at Lego ED. So If I buy from them I buy more to make it up. say if you need 40z gears, lots of them. At briklink they are from 1$ + each, EACH! did i say each, yes, EACH. Thats a lot of money for 1 plastic gear. Now at Lego ed I can buy 25 for 10$. Even with out a calculator i can see a savings here. Say i need 100 40z gears is a no brainer, do i want to pay 100+$ and shipping from many Bricklinkers? or pay 40$ +7 for 100 gears....

But say I need linear rams? Lego ed has them and so does Bricklink? But who has the better deal, Cavet Emptor.

its very easy to use Bricklink and in some ways is a must for any Lego/ Technic/ Mindstorms user to know and use, even if you are NOT buying a part from almost any kit made. If you make an account you can make lists of parts for projects and then see wht the going prices are all around the world. edit tis search by country, part count and other things. You can see what kits have in them before you buy it, check kits by parts many amny uses here.

Ill give you a link to just one page of whats in america by price(no shipping)http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg= ... archSort=P since it will very where you are. Postage outside of the country you may live can effect the end price alot.
