Probably the only US source is Peter Anderson -
http://www.phanderson.com/.He's on a few Yahoo groups. There's a Yahoo group for the PicAxe, btw.
Unfortunately for you, he's just closed up shop for a while, his website
says he'll be back mid-August.
Apparently shipping from the UK is horrendous, so I'd wait if I were you.

Is there a source for the PICAXE here in the states?
I have done some searching but have only found in it
GB and AU.
