Really? Really? It is from the New York Times so the story is much less questionable. As a former journalist I must point out that we highly value the integrity of our work and our publications. There is NO secret society that sits around and decides how to write fake stories to favor some...

I found mine on the store shelf at Micro Center in Columbus, Ohio the week before Christmas while shopping for other things. I asked the clerk about the price (small store chain with a tendency to overprice items) and they said they don't have any Mavic Mini Fly More Combo's but if they did it...
