if you buy it with buddy codes, then you can get it for less than $ 93 (the RTF versions, normal price is US$ 99). I found one buddy code here: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm

That's an amazing price -- I paid $150 for mine! This this is totally fun and I recommend it highly. At this price it's a steal.

Same here Chris, although after I included extra parts my price was closer to $200. This little quad rocks though and I really enjoy flying it both indoors and out.

Buddy codes, what a great idea!  Here's  the codes I got.  I ordered a set of all the spare parts they had.  I hope they soon stock the arm/motor assemblies.

Sorry, no buddy code, haven't figured that bit of HK out yet.

OIC @CrashingDutchman, TYVM!

I don't have a buddy code for this stuff yet, as I haven't bought it, I get it now. So my only one is currently is for one of the Accucel-6 chargers.

There are some buddy codes for the props available here: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm

Specifically what I found: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=...

or

HTH! LMK (anyone) if you want my accucel-6 buddy code too, I don't think it's appropriate to post it here to this unrelated bit. ;)
