Kim3498 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 My son is such a science lover, I am seriously considering this for Christmas. Has anyone else heard of this? It is a mind controled game where you can control things with your mind. Does anyone have this product? If so, is it as interesting as it looks?
AudreyNicole Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I'm sorry that I don't know much about the game, but I was shocked to see the pricetag. I am curious to hear more about it.

IDK-I'm skeptical of the whole thing and the price tag-yikes!Not only that,but how much play will they actually get from it?I'm thinking of some more hands-on types of things.I've seen where Jamie and Adam from MythBusters have a line of kits....even my 18 y.o. likes these!
racerfan Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 My DS would love something like this but the price tag is scary. DH is also a bit leary about it and wonders if it actually works and how much use he would get out of it. I am now looking for a robot he can build since he has actually been asking for one for a few years.

I know what ya mean. I don't know if he would use it as much as I would like. He hasn't saw it advertised yet, but DH is convinced that he would love it. Thanks for letting me know about the MythBusters kits. I will check that out. He loves that show.

Have they tried the Alternative Energy Lab? Did you order them from the Discovery Store?
rana Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 My nephew who is 9 has it and told my children over the weekend that the game is a "rip off". I don't know exactly what was wrong but I would check and see if there are any reviews on Amazon for the game. I saw the commercial for it the other day and was skeptical as well.

teebee Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 yeah my daughter has talked about wanting it for Christmas, we saw it the other day and it was $80 I think that is ridiculous!!!
Hummin Bird Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 This is what my son marked on his list as his MUST HAVE from Santa gift. So according to DH even if its a rip off we must not break tradtion and he will be getting it. He has been begging for this since August. Gosh im praying I can find it atleast 20-25 bucks cheaper than the current price.

redraccoon Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Very pricey for a kids game. Only mixed reviews at best. And there are qeustions about it holding a kids long term interets when/if they figure it out.
HansieDZ Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Have they tried the Alternative Energy Lab? Did you order them from the Discovery Store?They are on page 30a of the TRU toy book that just came out. Looks like they are $14.99 each: Power of Air Pressure, Weird World of Water or Forces of Flight. I'd have to look at them to see if they are worth it.

Jen8112 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 There are some reviews on amazon.com for it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UEUHCG/ref=asc_df_B001UEUHCG950299?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B001UEUHCG
luvtotravel Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 My 9 year old is asking for this!! I hope it's worth it.
KBsDarling Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 this is on the short must have list for DD as well....ugh LOL I didnt know Mythbusters had kits. I must find. DD would FLIP!!! She and I are huge fans and this would be an awesome gift for her.....off to look around
vsa3janes Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 This is on 10 yr old dgd's top list too. I told her that you can't concentrate on something and it move. Of course because she saw the commercial she just knows it works.
Kim3498 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 Well...I had a perfect opportunity to ask DS his opinion of this product. The commercial came on the other day. He explains to me how it works...I blanked out after he said something about fans. Lol. Anyway, after DH thought he would love it, turns out he's not interested in it at all. Glad I didn't rush out and buy it.
tgunn_ocs Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 For what its worth....toys r us has these....asking 59.99. They aren't in stock often and the same people who are grabbing all the Zhu Zhu's for ebay are grabbing these. That being said, they can often be found on www.mattel.com. They are asking a bit more than TRU but far less than the ebayers. You might try the Mattel site if you really want this and don't mind paying a little extra. Good luck.
jay2679 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I noticed tru has been alerting all night and this morning , keep getting OOS as soon we hit the cart , anyone else having luck?
julz0420 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 This was shown on qvc's Christmas in July sale. I thought it was AWESOME until I got to watch it in action. Its a fan that shoots the ball around. Kinda lame really. Younger kids would probably get a kick out of it but the older ones will probably know its the fan moving the ball, not their minds.
Mommax3 Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 If anyone is looking for these they are in the Kmart ad for this week. $49.99. My son didn't want one but we picked one up for our cousins little girl. Our Kmart didn't have any, so they offered us a raincheck or they could call a nearby Kmart and have them hold them. So, we had one held and went and got it. Alot better than $99
