Gort5000Well you have to consider the Al-Star pen is 27+8+5 for shipping so that's nearly $40 when you're done with mass drop (for the Al-Star) vs the Amazon is $36. If you have prime, free 2 day shipping. if you don't have prime, I think anything over $35 counts for free standard shipping.
postnickI didn't catch that you were talking about the Al-Star. For that, you're correct, but only for the blue. The purple Al-Star is over $50, and the red makrolon is $40. So, yes, a blue Al-star is cheaper.
