Can anyone tell me a good way to get a collection of the LEGO Technics
gears.  I would like a number of the 8- and 24-tooth gears.

The sets available in local stores have few gears and I called LEGO Dacta.
The person I talked to told me they have a set of 7 gears, 1-40T, 1-24T,
1-16T, 1-8T, and three oddballs (bevel, etc.) for $16!  Seems a bit pricey
and makes a reasonable geartrain impractical.

Are there kits available specifically for the 6.270 course?  Thanks for any
info.
