This is actually a pretty decent selection. I was worried the same fevered minds that came up with the gift packages yesterday had more madness in store.
@gertiestn Same here, I see these things at Target for about $5 each with no need to pay for shipping. If Meh was including all 4 it’d be a marginal deal.
Did they ever fix the issues with modern Etch A Sketches just plain not working?
I wanted to get one for myself last year, but saw a lot of reviews saying it didn’t contain enough powder for drawings to be clearly visible or for the screen to fully erase. I thought it might be luck of the draw so I went to a toy store instead, and their entire stock was like that.
@brennyn Just got my meh package today and the etch-a-sketch has enough powder to erase the screen, but it is indeed quite hard to see because the tip of the “scraper” is quite small so the black line it leaves is very fine.
Also my hand eye coordination and artist ability sucked as a child, and still sucks now, so my “art” on an etch-a-sketch is indistinguishable from a bunch of squiggly lines.
I use the slinky to replace my shocks. The Etch-A-sketch to replace the center console screen The bop-it to replace the steering wheel and the simon to replace the low oil, tire pressure and turn signals. Thank you MEH for the low-cost replacement parts
Why are all the good sales gone before my email get delivered? The Morning Save stuff is available for like days but meh is sold out way to fast. Do they only have a dozen to sell? Is it a time zone thing? Only the East coast gets the good stuff?
@jkawaguchi Sales start at midnight EST. If you’re in another time zone you get it at a more reasonable time. This was up for over 10 hours before it sold out.

@tinamarie1974 that gif!
@RiotDemon yeah sorry. I hit it and went to bed. Should have actually paid attention to what popped up
@tinamarie1974 I was just shocked to see it. It doesn’t really break any rules.
@RiotDemon you can change it of you want. No issues
I didn’t have such a good time the last time I played with one of these toys…
Consider those stockings stuffed!

@Felixaurelius yep. But today’s deal grouping would have been too reasonably priced for yesterday.
Wish you could order all four items!
@glarue You can, you just have to pay twice as much.
Needs more Log.
Someone said that when they died they wanted to be cremated and put in an etch-a-sketch.
If you get one, don’t think about that, ok? lol
/giphy painful-deep-rib
I want the original sizes from the original makers! I want, I want, I WANT! Meh, get me those!
I’m an old fart & all, but I think these items are way over- priced even at Meh’s prices.
@gertiestn I was thinking the same thing. These all seem like 5 Below items that you can probably get for a few bucks apiece.

@bbf @brennyn I mastered a long staircase
My order number kinda sums up my Meh existence…

The kid specifically requested a slinky! I appear to finally be making this membership worth it…

@mediocrebot After yesterday’s poop shoot it good to see something awesome ://buy
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
/buy --coupon cyberweek15
@whomeyesu Sorry, this deal contains 2 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. You can review how to pick one, or just try ordering from the checkout page.

@whomeyesu did the coupon work? I thought those were for the Meh sister sites.
@RedOak eye see Indeed invalid coupon

@bugger replacement parts? Back in my day I was happy with the parts I was given, even if they weren’t right!
It’s always the parts department’s fault.
/giphy boisterous-lonely-samurai
I love etch-a-sketch, slinky and simon. This is a trifecta of what constituted entertainment before video games.
That slinky is usb-c, right?
@freidkin Sorry, it’s Firewire.
@freidkin lightening…its an iSlinky

@jkawaguchi Over 1K sold seems more than a dozen although I used a calculator.
@jkawaguchi
PST has it the best at a 9:00pm drop.
If anything EST gets the Shafter.
