It must be the "mini". I cannot believe that BJ's beats wOOts prices. BJ's cannnot beat amazons prices. This is what wOOt does best. They may not always have a super deal, but they are going to beat most everybody by a decent degree.

The Dallas Cowboys baby cheerleader outfit was a real hit for my first niece a couple years back... Brother's an avid Eagles fan, Sis-in-Law avid Redskins fan (this is how I learned that) I got a LOT of Uncle bang for the buck on THAT gift - wasn't expecting it from a simple newborn outfit!!!

I think Montana needs to buy their fair share of robots. Then, once they are spread out through the U.S. we can assemble them as an army. Mwahahaha.

I wonder if the cats will like the alarm mode.

Buy something.

Buy 3 and get me a drink

I got banned for less than that! Exactly what do you mean?

I'm more concerned about if the WowWee will like the cats.

eldiablohijo wrote:Yes, but somehow there are things out there that would annoy them more than this.

My point is to get it for my BROTHERS... but the kids and pets will drive them nuts... "I WANT" and barking & chasing it...

ewersk wrote:i just want a little color in my box.

Then buy something. This robot, for example...

Sounds like a personal problem.

Meh, I'm just irritable because this item just doesn't lend itself well to innuendo and I was on a roll.

I'm sure there are people here who'd love to put something in your box.

Don't worry, you'll get back on it. There's bound to be something coming soon.

What flavors does this come in?

Our BJs has the *full-size ones* for $19.90 (same model Radio Shack had on clearance for $50). We bought one for us and several for friends / family.

Perhaps THAT might get my 17 year old up in time for school?!?!?!

I hoped the Robots would sell faster than this. Stupid robots effing up our woot-off, as usual.

FIRST is good stuff, too bad there isn't a version for above high school. I used to compete in Battlebots, but I had to get out of it because I was driving myself broke due to potentially breaking several hundred dollars in equipment in a single fight (I had a 120lb middleweight, and it had several components in the 300-400 range). The fact that the FIRST robots aren't trying to tear each other to shreds makes things a bit more economical

look up... I saw my chance and took it.

FIRST is awesome. I did it for 5 years. As a driver in high school, I broke a team's robot 3 different times in one day, 3 different ways. Counted it as a lesson in robustness.

You'd be surprised at how good 17 year olds are at breaking alarms. Especially ones that can be picked up and thrown at a wall.

I saw that and smiled.

she is reported to have said that.

Two elephants for a dollar is a good deal--if you need two elephants and if you have a dollar.

That's why you get them one with legs. If they have to actually get out of bed and chase it down in order to throw it they'll get up.

This is painful...Just painful.
