@KDemo Thanks for asking. I am home, just got out of hospital this evening after 9 long days. Better than I was, but with a new permanent condition that is making me sad. Oh well. It is what it is.
So this is Christmas And what have you done Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear....of meh!
Does Meh think nobody will notice that BB-8 is NOT sold out for Christmas (or even Halloween?) It's the old "I read it on the Internet so it must be true" ploy
@cthobbit I missed the part where Amazon was the only store left on the planet. If you go to sphero directly, they will sell it to you today and "ship by October".
Thinking about getting this for the kids for the holidays, anyone have one and love it that can make a recommendation? The Ollie looks cooler to play with than the BB-8/Sphero
I also bought a BB-8. GameStop still had them online for a couple days after most retailers sold out. I don't think many people thought to look there. I ordered it last Sunday with free "value" shipping and it arrived Wednesday. So...I also have found the droid I'm looking for :)
PS My friend's regular Sphero was extremely entertaining...
Ollie is the electronic item featured today on Woot (surely you remember Woot)...at a cost of $79.99 + shipping. I'm not tempted by Ollie at any price, but I notice Meh came through with a better price.
@gertiestn But Woot's Ollie was 60% off because they doubled the retail price ($199 when the manufacturer site lists it at $99). Doesn't that make it cheaper?

@boygenius1991 is just an rc car that does some cool tricks. Awesome at night!
It's log, log, log.
@grammarsheriff What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs, rolls over your neighbor's dog?
It's big it's heavy it's wood.
It's better than bad, it's good!
@grammarsheriff What's great for a snack
And fits on your back
Damn, glad I got this in my fuku box. What a deal!
Same price as last time. Meh!
Silly as it is, I kinda want it. But I'm broke right now. Meh. :/
@Pony - Are you better? At home? Hope so. Be well.
@KDemo Thanks for asking. I am home, just got out of hospital this evening after 9 long days. Better than I was, but with a new permanent condition that is making me sad. Oh well. It is what it is.
This fits perfectly in the range of: too good to click meh, not enough to click buy.
@ptrjon one must always click meh! join the cult of daily clickers!
Friends, come jump over the shark with me.
Edit: does this drone.horse?
@jjohns71 -
Update: The current version of that phrase is "Lick the donut".
Cream of Ollie soup. (For scale).
Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into.
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear....of meh!
How about I send you soup & you send me $68?
unguarded-judicious-turtle
I was waiting for this to come back! I spent way too long playing with ones of these at Marbles.
@JonT since you guys used my vid from the last Ollie deal: https://meh.com/forum/topics/orbotix-ollie-refurbished
I upped my game and wanna start getting paid! I am sure I will see this one on the next deal :)
@mfladd Maybe he could send you something in the mail. Like a prize. ;)
Pretty cool looking, but still too much for a toy like this, at least for me. Meh to me being too grown up to splurge on it.
No effing way. Never.
Does Meh think nobody will notice that BB-8 is NOT sold out for Christmas (or even Halloween?) It's the old "I read it on the Internet so it must be true" ploy
@DaveKnowsAll If you go to Amazon it is clearly not in stock. I can buy it and get prime shipping "when item is available."
"Usually ships within 2 to 3 months.
Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."
@cthobbit I missed the part where Amazon was the only store left on the planet. If you go to sphero directly, they will sell it to you today and "ship by October".
@DaveKnowsAll Fair point. I guess neither meh nor I did enough research.
Well this deal puts a whole new spin on things
@AttyVette I was rolling on the floor laughing when I saw it.
Umm u could say Ollie ( oops ) oh no I bought this thing ... But I didn't :)
That box makes it look wider than it is.
@TimeDoctor that's what she said!
i've already bought BB-8 from them so... i've already found the droid im looking for :)
That video for the BB-8 was pretty awesome though.
Hey, @JonT, if you're looking for things to use as contest prizes (like perhaps the birthday one) this would be perfectly acceptable.
"It doesn't have is a massive"
Did you guys miss a "while" or just all the time?
Thinking about getting this for the kids for the holidays, anyone have one and love it that can make a recommendation? The Ollie looks cooler to play with than the BB-8/Sphero
@cthobbit I'm holding out for a sphero. (Music plays in my head.)
Is there any sort of API or hackability to these? I don't think I'd want one as a toy unless I can program it to do things...
I also bought a BB-8. GameStop still had them online for a couple days after most retailers sold out. I don't think many people thought to look there. I ordered it last Sunday with free "value" shipping and it arrived Wednesday. So...I also have found the droid I'm looking for :)
