You can buy them direct from Newark for $35, you just have to wait...

I believe the wait time is only about 5 weeks now, which isn't exactly fast but not miserably bad.  Shipping is not free now though, although apparently some people who ordered early may have gotten free shipping (I'm still not clear on that).  Mine was $43 and change with shipping.
