    Zoot -

    As far as I'm aware, the Toddler and the Scribbler are two DIFFERENT robotic platforms. The Todddler is an EOL product, and the Scribbler was merely out of stock, last I checked. More Scribblers are expected after the first of the year, if I remember correctly.

    Regards,

    Toddler? I don't think I mentioned the toddler.

    My question is that the scribbler is backordered, and the est. ship date is Feb. 2007 -- is this a typo? out of date info? Should it be Feb. 2008?

    Zoots - I've got a new-in-the-box Scribbler that I was going to give as a future Christmas gift (yes, I buy ahead) that you would be welcome to purchase.·

    Zoot -

    Sorry - two successive posts, one about the Toddler, and yours about the Scribbler. I attributed you with the wrong post.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates

    Grievousfish -- that's a *genuinely* kind offer. I think I will take a pass, however. If I were buying it for someone else, I would take it in a heartbeat, but since it'd be for *me* I'm taking the backordered status as a sign that I probably shouldn't indulge myself quite so much this Dec. smile.gif

    I'll point out that date discrepancy to our web department.
    And we are sorry about the delay with the Scribbler.
