Over at Microsoft’s official eBay storefront, we’re seeing another one of Kano’s popular coding kits on sale. Its Pixel Kit can be yours for $39.99 shipped, which is nearly 30% less than what you’d pay at Amazon right now and the best we’ve seen since June. This one is centered around creating pixel art and retro-like games and is a more affordable option that still packs all of the company’s charm and coding know-how. The best part is that when you’ve learned all you can from it, the kit makes an excellent little lighting display for your desk.
