BPE is selling it for $190 now. You get like 4 servos and all the controls for it.

They also sell for like $75 an auto talk board

This lets you sync a servo to sound so you can make a talking head and put it on top of your robot :)

Be really cool with the L.E.A.F. setup if your familiar with that.

Its basically a servo recorder. It records motions performed on the servos by moving the pots on the board. Then it can be played back. The audio talk back module lets you turn voice or music into lip sinking for the head. With some modification and some ingenuity you could make a robot that talked back and moved its mouth for kinda cheap. You don't have to use the head they provide if you wanted to custom make one that looked more robotic.
