Pre Tandy Radio Shack even sold tires, so I guess they're getting back 
to their roots...

Heh.  Last night I was noticing that Costco had a Nikon D800 with two kit
lenses for $2900.  There were several other Nikon/Canon kits, but no
Pentax...  Time for a write-in campaign?


Costco on-line has had various Pentax available from time to time. I've 
seen the K5  K30 previously, but right now it appears they only have 
the two Pentax Q bundles. I think that probably says more about the 
products Pentax has available than it does about Costco's willingness to 
sell them.


Supposedly Pentax has sold through Costco, Walmart, Target, etc. but 
I've never seen product actually IN THE STORE ... with the exception of 
Tiger Direct (who have two retail locations in my area).


Tiger Direct had K-x kits a couple of years back  had K30 kits the last 
time I was in there (a week ago).

I think  the bigger question is why are you searching  radioshack for  camera 
equipment? :)

I don't know if I would  buy  a   new  fa lens  without a good return policy. I 
 like my lenses tested and used. :)

Wow!  They've got a surprising selection of lenses, but few bodies.

Well, yeah, rat shack is for when you have an urgent need.  How often do
you have an urgent need for a lens versus a body?
