    $35.00?!? Wasn't the MSRP in the $100-$200 range?

    I looked in my local BigLots store and the sales associate said "Robo...what?"

    I walked arround the store and saw nothing.

    That's a great price too. Too bad.

    It doesn't surprise me that the associate didn't know what it was [noparse];)[/noparse]

    I found it back in the toy section.

    I got one!

    I went back to BigLots after work today. They were in the toy section as you said Bean. They had 6 at this store (now 5). These are grey with green highlights on certain areas - not white like in the picture. Still they are pretty cool and the demo mode has a cool dance and music (like the robot·music in Rocky 4 where Rocky got the Robot for Uncle Pauly's birthday).

    I will learn to program it more this weekend.

    Thanks for the great find!

    Yeah, they are a special version made for "Discover Channel" I think.
    I beleive it is only the colors that are different.

    Bean,

    Are you planning to hack it or anything? I think the unit is cool as it is - but I would be interested if you were.
