In the future, due to me annoying some good people who aren't complainers, I'm only going to be posting the list on items that remain up for a while and have a ton of complaints - if even that. I want to watch TV for now, so I don't want to keep posting the list on each item anyway. I'm not liable for people who post copy and paste it though.

Apology accepted.

If stuff from kisdwoot is showing up on woot, wouldn't it be funny if the bad o crap showed up on kidswoot?

.... :-/

This item is perfect for releasing lots of tension. Like that caused by my Woot! lights giving up the ghost a few minutes ago.

Perhaps it can be a good home for my giant screaming monkeys.

Maybe I can even lock my daughter in there until a suitable husband comes knocking at the door.

Oh man, I've been out here too long.

I'm watching the Habs game... WOW! What a game! Halak is standing on his head!

Next on "To Catch a Predator"...

We set up a fake ball pit near a VFW hall and waited for a creepy old vet to bury himself and wait for little boys that never came...

(Poor choice of words? Maybe.)

let's get on with it, it's past my bedtime!

Please use this checklist if you're planning on complaining about this item.

[] Complain that the Random Crap has not been sold yet.
[] Complain that this isn't the Random Crap.
[] Mention how this is a woot off killer.
[] Since you don't like the item, mention that the woot off is probably over soon because this item indicates that.
[] Complain about the item some more.
[] Tell people it is an AMAZING deal and they should buy 3.
[] Suggest Woot create another specialty site to cater to just this type of product.
[] Post a picture that expresses your dissatisfaction. Perhaps it should include a kitten.
[] Mention that no one has any use for this even if it isn't still at 100% and people are buying it.
[] Whine that you will NOT join a "trucking social network" in order to gain access to happy hour. Proceed to continue being a snob about it while going through all the other steps again.
[] Discuss things like man-milk and continue to argue strenuously about your sexuality even though you are the one who first brought it up.
[] Brag about how many items you've bought from woot and how much money you've spent, which obviously entitles you to a sack of crap without doing what it takes to get one.

I was reading reviews on amazon/walmart or some other site when I was looking at one. I read the same thing. The thin plastic rods were snapping. People were replacing them with pvc.

ToysRus sells inflatable ball pits. They do pop, but if you buy there $5 replacement plan it covers it, no questions asked. My dog ate ours and they replaced it.

Safety wise, I like the inflatable ones MUCH better. No broken rods to stab the kids.

have the bag of ceral came up yet on this woot-off?

Ick...not good reviews on Amazon. But a heck of a bargain!

My son had one that was a lot like this when he was about 18 months. He loved it. I'd recommend. It met its demise when three friends came over when he was about 4 (always remove shoes so it has a chance).

ThunderThighs wrote:Do you have anything better to offer?

Did you not delight in the colorful prose I used to voice my complaint? I invoked the name of Gozer the Gozerian - how many people can do that effectively?

well, it IS a BAG ya know.

I hope this is soundproof!

I wonder if it comes with rattlesnakes, like Burger King ball pens.

Do you have to have Carnival Knowledge to use this??

I shiver at the site of these. please make it go away

CodeMoney wrote:well, it IS a BAG ya know.

A bag of balls.

You DO realize that this comes with 50 MAGIC BALLS?!

That makes this a substantially better deal than when Jack traded the family cow for those magic beans.

hmm, oddly tempted for summer vacation yet feeling it's a waste of money.

Nice, thanks!!

BLAH

I'm not sure anyone is actually interested, but it's a good deal if price is your only barometer: http://www.amazon.com/Lil-Explorers-Carnival-Ball-Zone/dp/B001S63V56
It's running a hundred dollars at amazon.

My brother had one of these and it didn't last more than one kid and three minutes out of the box. He later switched out the cheap collapsible poles for stronger beams that he made for the job and I guess it held up better. I haven't asked him for an update, but having seen it, I'd be surprised if the fabric would endure for more than a few months.

FAIL is, if I am recalling correctly, essentially a shortening of the sentiment "you have failed at _____ (the internet/life/etc.)."

I really like this! Yes, I know it should be on kids.woot, but this will be perfect for my son's 5th birthday next month! I miss the ones McDonalds had when I was younger...

Can we make it stop now?

GaleForce wrote:I had at least 3 quality posts before I even made the list...but I'll try and refrain from posting it on every item; maybe just the ones that take forever to sell out where we'll get a lot of complaints.

I have no issue with the list really, I saw it last night and thought it was pure genius. I also like ThunderThighs addition of complaining that someone else got a quality post. All that said, I am enjoying that the list is getting more complaints than the woot items are... A welcome change of pace. I was trying to be clever and ended up being a smart ass... oh well.

Balding Octogenarian Creeper was on the Woot Happyhour earlier. Maybe we won't have a Boring Opal Coelentrate this time?

Got one on 4/1 for my daughter. She likes it and it is decent for this price - not for full price.

The balls that are supposed to be for throwing won't stick to the target at all - even if just placed on it.

Overall - for the price, its good. Daughter is 3yo.
