This is one of the better deals I have seen. If it was $9.99 it would be hella ribs but regardless this is still good!

WoW! An even faster sell out than yesterday.... GOOOOOO WOOOOOOOT!

Computer guidance system with sound effects?? Fast moving projectiles?? This is sheer woot awsomeness!

Geeks! Fire at will!!

For those people looking for more missile replacements

Ebay link

Thanks for those open source links - much appreciated!

These launchers are so much fun…Janek a co- worker allowed me to set-up 5 launchers in his cubicle to thwart an imminent foam threat from Abdul. The only problem is now Nikolai
Feels threatened and has stated a mass stockpiling of foam. Tensions are rising in the office!!!

a little late, but yes you can retip these darts.

Wow, I am shocked they sold out that quick. I thought it was too expensive to bite on for a toy. Also, these were on another website all day yesterday for 2 dollars more and did not sell out. Must be THE POWER OF WOOT!

sad. sold out already. ahh well.. i guess that's a good thing.. otherwise i would have dipped into my 'rent money' for three :-P

Dang...I really wanted one too. I guess I will have to wait until the next woot off for these to come out again.

It is all in good fun, how much could a foam USB missile hurt?

Someone probably answered already but if not, remote desktop should work fine.

20 minutes, had I stayed up 20 minutes later last night I would have been in for three of these. Never have I seen something so pointless that I want so badly. Whoever thought this up both terrifies me and has my utmost admiration.

Man, I'd buy this JUST to make Mac drivers

(well, and then maybe use it a little)

Looked at these at 1AM and wanted to think about them. Decided when I woke up - Why not?

Too late. Oh well, the grandson will have to learn missle tactics on the street.

Too sad they're sold out!! I would have bought 3!!!

I got me 3!!! Whooot!!! I am gonna mod the missles with pushpins taped to the tips. So I can shoot them at my... bulletin board. :P

Look upon my works ye cats and despair!

Evade my Roboraptor and confound my Roomba, it will avail ye not!

Armageddon shall rain down upon thee wicked felines! Thy days of shedding on black pants is at an end.

Would have prefered a model missile launcher having rocket motors.

Maybe woot will come up with some of those for the 4TH ?

I bet this will make it in the next Bandolier of Carrots!

Those won't work with this launcher. Those are for the spring-powered model, this one is air-powered and the "rockets" are more like Nerf-style darts

I need 4 of these for my office, to bad I missed this woot. DANG!

Sold out just as I was waking up, what a shame.

Awesome Woot! Im in for 3. This will help protect me from the IOBMs (Inter-Office Ballistic Missiles) WOOT! I hope this does not start an arms race in the Office.

awww, for frick's sake, we need a west coast only woot

Item quantity: 4500


WOW! Sold out quick! Too bad I missed that one.
Looks like I could have had a lot of fun with it.

AHHH . . . I missed it. Has anyone else seen it for the same price anywhere???

Can't wait to see if it can be modded to launch SCREAMING MONKEYS!

How do i order one?

crizznap, foo! I missed it.

With a sellout this fast, i'm sure we'll see this bad boy again.

we need more woots like this!

i so wanted one...

Dang! I woulda gone for this. I was on the road all morning, didn't even have a chance.

Sunuva! I need one of these and they sold out, farkin rubberband wars continue!

You'll get no frickin' sympathy here! Us east-coast types have to stay up until 1am to get the good woots! You west-coast types only have to stay up until 10pm.

I got my three at around 1:30am local (eastern). Totally irresistible! I shall share the wealth with my manager and the network guy. The rest of the non-engineering types will have to defend themselves armed only with their disdain!

"Hey Steve, I wanted to ask you about that repo.."
*pooft*
"Will you please cut that out?"
"NEVER!" *pooft* "Death to the corporate paper-pushers!" *pooft*
"You need to get that thing aimed a little better..."
"Yeah, do you mind hanging around for a moment while I reload?"
" ... engineers ... "

CRAPOLA!!!!!!!!!
Lost my connection at home to storm and just checked the woot. I MISSED IT! I have a different model I paid $25 or so for to thinkgeek.com. This is an awesome tool to wake up minions during meetings as well as harass the office dogs.

Ya'll have fun and don't shoot your eye out.

BAH!!! I WANT ONE.... sold out-max sux

Nooooo! One of the (many) nights Comcast service goes down, and I missed this!
