Then I found this: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/round-world-products-cv483458-the-lech-am-arlberg-panorama/1108402936

Same thing but only $132.

Well, we can't always do this but we're lowering the price to $125 just for you. You better go buy 3 now!

I had a globe growing up. I remember spending a lot of time looking at it. They're just fascinating.

Also, son had US History in 5th grade I think. Puzzle maps are a good way to learn the states and their location, capitals, etc.

We just checked with the vendor. These globes do not have South Sudan. That country will be added on their 2013 globes.
