The same old 555 timers, opamps, and LED PCB xmas trees they've been selling for 30 years are nice but...there's much more interesting shit now and they didnt seem to catch on to that until the very end when they suddenly rushed out all the Arduino shit.

Around here, Micro Center replaced Radio Shack for my component impulse buy needs, and they even have Adafruit and Sparkfun stuff, and several aisles of a variety of other hobby electronics stuff. It's RadioShack x100.
