If you dig around, you can find value kits with a few of of each major transistor, cap, resistor, diode, LED, and logic IC's.

Radio Shack didn't really have the breadth of stock you'd want, you were just hoping you could get by.

Buying a kit every time you need a compoenent, you end up with your own stock super easy.

Yeah, Radio Shack really screwed the pooch by not branching out into the online system earlier.

If they had set it up so that you could order whatever parts you needed online and then have it shipped to your local store and ready for pickup for you, they'd probably be tech Amazon right now.
