Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Where did you get your DTXpress III Special?

I was looking into buying it on Musician's Friend, but they told me it
only comes with the hi-hat stand (I even called them to confirm it). 
I read the Yamaha website, and THEY say it should come with all three
(hi-hat stand, pedal, throne).  

Sounds like Musician's Friend is trying to rip me off.  I might have
to take my business elsewhere...
