More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

[Du1point8]

Got this on a deal yesterday

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011IGKIF6?redi...

It dropped to £13 on todays deals (yesterday) and thought it would be rude not to, do I need it? No... Do I already have one that lasts 2 days? Yes... but this one is 3/4 times more power!! Plus they are delivering today.

Wondered when this would pop up, its all over social media, £130 is certainly frivolous for a toy of what could be the next jar jar binks!

£110?

£129.99.

I have my doubts - but given the number of die-hard Star Wars fans out there, if it's a 5 minute wonder I'll just flip it once the film's out in December. I predict sell-out for Christmas period.

Besides - that's the point of this thread surely

I won't mention the set of 6 Lego Star Wars battle figures that I just ordered to go with it then....

Yep same here too!

Have ordered one for Toms birthday, but the stock situation seems Sketchy to say the least!

They must have a runaway sales phenomena on theirs heads with these new products at Disney!,

[giblet]

Came close to ordering one but it seems just a bit too meh at the moment. If it had a built in camera then it would offer more. I hear there is a millenium falcon drone due out soon?

I saw a vid if the Falcon drone this morning.

It looks awesome!

Here's the vid

I've felt the need for a big fk off skull ring for a while now.

So as I was central last night I popped in to The Great Frog for one of their Anatomical Skull rings.



I love it.

My frivolous Beijing fake Breitling still going strong, but the coating is peeling, for a tenner who cares.

Mine turned up this afternoon. Actually a huge amount of fun. I know it's all algorithm driven but they have somehow managed to program in a right little attitude at times. Put him in patrol mode and if he hits a wall he backs up and 'has a go' at it. Pretty funny if he hits another straight afterwards as he gets a proper strop on. And the mapping feature works as so far he hasn't hit the same wall more than twice... in fact he pulled up short of one he had hit, moved his head around beeping (as if there was a small victory in not crashing) then rolled off in the other direction.

Another great little nod to the fans of the original trilogy.. using voice command say "Its a trap!" and he instantly takes of hell for leather head back in a random direction

Fit's this thread perfectly in my opinion

Funny, we bought a Signature Pro the other week. It's literally the best gadget in the house, bloody love it.

Indeed, it's incredible how well it cleans. Now I just have to convince the OH that it's not after killing her.

Sounds pretty cool from your description

I was going to pop to the Disney store yesterday but completely forgot. Not that I imagine they'd have had any in stock anyway.
