Kids need more toys that provide very little entertainment immediately followed by 5 minutes of untangling string. It will teach them a valuable lesson about the real world: any joy will be harshly returned with equal or greater punishment.
@shahnm while I get the sentiment and am similarly tempted… when I go to click the “buy it” button, there’s just enough of that anti-hoarding quiet voice left to say “no.” That and we’ve run out of hoard space.
BTW, do the vmpbribe codes apply to the order or to the item? In other words, could you buy three of these deals to use up a single $10 code, therefore paying $2? (And likewise not throw away $6 buying a single deal?)
@RedOak I applaud your better judgment and restraint!
I believe the codes work for the order - $10 off up to $10. If you buy three orders, you’d pay $2, and if you only buy one, then you would throw away the leftover $6…
Caution: may cause dain bramage.
I purchased these to give as gifts and kept one for myself. These things are solid wood and heavy, can also be used to open pecans and almonds. I admire something about the design as it looks good on a shelf and people ask what it is. For the life of me, I can not seem to master the coordination needed to play with this thing successfully so it sits on a shelf most of the time unless a visitor to my home asks to take a close look at it.
I’ve hit myself in the face and head with mine so much I can’t count the number of times…More accurately, it has caused short-term memory loss and I no longer have the ability to count at all. Use with caution.
I guess I’m too old for you guys.
I’ve been a member since 2013 and before that I was a woot member. I find that now I don’t understand most of your products’ uses or purposes…I’m afraid that makes me feel useless and purposeless. So I’ll probably have to resign.
Also, I noticed that I am no longer a VMP because I had a credit card that had to be replaced because someone else was using it and I didn’t . think to change the number with meh.
BTW I’ll be 80 yrs old in a few months.
@Oneroundrobb the beer you drink, pee it out and return the bottle. This will sit in your house for decades. Every time you move you’ll have to pack it and unpack it. It will sit in multiple garage sales unsold.
Fair warning… if you buy multiple pairs with the intent of getting a mixture of colors, GOOD LUCK.
Well, more like NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
“Random colors” in past meh’s basically meant whatever pick monkey packed your package reached into one box and grabbed a handful, mindless of, well, everything… but mostly mindless of any consideration that a purchaser may believe “random colors” might actually mean “multiple colors if I buy enough.”

That… might be my Catholic guilt talking.
@harveydanger or toys where the string breaks after the third hit spending the ball flying across the room never to be seen again.
R.I.P to the million of paddle balls that were never to be seen again
Well crap. It’s at a price point that makes me feel compelled to buy it, to justify my VMP membership.
Manipulative bastards.

@shahnm That is exactly a tinted budding scene.

@Cart6719 Congratulations on your upcoming birthday!
@Cart6719 This particular product is for bashing the heads of whippersnappers who loiter too long on your lawn.
@Cart6719 if you contact support they’ll usually reinstate your vmp.
@RiotDemon Thanks for volunteering to give up your VMP for @Cart6719. I’ll get that switched over right away.
@Cythwulf
@RiotDemon wants to give it to @unixrab.
@Cythwulf @PlacidPenguin @unixrab ha ha ha.

@therealjrn
Thank you very much although, at present I’m
almost hoping it’ll be my last
Bought some of these in January. The package is still sitting unopened. I might go open it now, if only to see what colors I got.
Buy them so you can do this
I prefer my sheer disappointment to be more of a surprise.
@mfladd That’s why they charge $1 more for it!
and you thought the Glen Socks sucked…
Must have nearly as many of these things as fidget spinners. Mehmeh, meh mehmeh, meh, mehmeh.
/giphy meh Glen
For less than the cost of a beer? Fine… I might get my $4 back for them at the garage sale I should probably have after opening my fuko next week.

Early Christmas shopping for nieces and nephews is taken care of.
Yeah, I’m the mediocre uncle.
@zachdecker I bought these as stocking stuffers. The short period of family rivalry these will cause is worth $2/piece. (Ages 24-68… Not sure how actual children would react). Now meh just needs to offer some Hippie Sticks. https://www.amazon.com/Nowstalgic-Toys-Magical-Hippie-Sticks/dp/B00BGYOP3W

If I was drunk I would have bought this instantly. More cheap unsweet red wine that will ship to NJ on casemates, please.

I got one of these in my toy collection a while back. I haven’t done anything with it yet.

Buying more to average down my cost per unit. Now just need to decide who to give em to.
Paint the Irk face on the balls and see how well (or not) they sell.
