Not Toys R Us.  Seriously about 3 of my friends with kids have toy scopes, and none of them work. I'd actually try your local university/technical college /mad scientist organisation; they will probably have lots of used ones up for much less than a new will cost. (Mine's from uni surplus. Now if I could just find slides for it..)
