    Hi,

    I'm looking to pick up a raspberry pi 2 as a christmas gift, but I'd like to buy it bricks and mortar if possible. Maplins have it for near 50 quid which is a bit ridiculous. Does anyone know where I can buy it?

    Thanks.

    As I said already, I'm looking for bricks and mortar, so eBay fails super hard in that respect. Maplins one comes with an sd card and installer aid but all I need is the basic Raspverry pi 2.

    I should also point out I'm in the Dublin area.

    Was searching around before myself and found Komplett to be reasonably priced. Didn't pull the trigger yet though :)

    They have a fixed shipping cost of €9.95 for everything though, so not that much of a bargain when you take that into account.
