Most, if not all, online retailers have a wide variety of samplers at very good prices. I've found a few of my regulars in those samplers. I've always been skeptical of reviews found on retailer sites. Salesmen will say anything to make a sale. As mentioned above though, look into the Newbie Sampler thread on this board. You'll get a customized sampler for your tastes and budget that have several advantages over store-bought samplers. I'm waiting on one myself and really looking forward to it.
