Amazon is selling I-Sobot for $59.99 shipped.  I bought 10 for the future soccer team.  Amazon prices have bee screw of late so I don't know how long this will last.

Too late. Amazon sold about 571 of these in about 20 minutes. I should have bought more.

How do you know how many they sold?

Awesome deal.

Oh, you can check to see how many they have available.  It was at 571 when I bought mine and I watched it click down  At 161 I tried buying more but by the time I submitted my order, it said it was no longer available but it was from other vendors on Amazon Marketplace.

You can get them for $70 on ebay.  There are at least a couple of vendors selling them for $99.99 new with free shipping.  Combine that with BCB which is at 30% and you'll get it for $70.  The CB may be instant or it'll take a 60 day waiting period.  Bill won't say beforehand.

I thought I got a super deal for $99 at HS earlier.  But I guess Tomy is blowing out the warehouses and HS was just the first to get that price.

By the way, if you like havoc helis, Amazon is blowing those out to.  Up to 70% off.  The havoc vs stinger battleset was $26 yesterday but they raised the price back up to $39 today which is still good.

Pleo was also down to $249.00 The retailers must really be struggling this holiday season with these prices

R2D2 was $69 yesterday but it's back at $99 today. Butterscotch was $79. I came this close to buying one even though I have no use for a robotic pony.

Travfar,

Where do I go to see how many they have available? Usually all I ever see is "in stock now". Thanks for the info.

Type in 999 as the quantity you want to buy.  If it's less than that then an error message will pop up telling you how many then have.  They have 458 right now.

" Important Message
We're sorry. You've requested more of Tomy I-SOBOT Robot, than the 458 available from the seller you've selected. Click here to return to the product detail page and see if additional quantities are available from another seller."

LOL, that's very clever Travfar.

I'd be sweating a bit though. I could just imagine hitting the 1-click buy button by accident and ending up with a $27,000 charge. :)

For those of you that would like to at least share the sadness and excitement of the i-SOBOT "blink and you missed it" deal yesterday, I have morbidly put up a we page that shows a http://robotsrule.com/html/i-sobot-deal-gone.php" title="i-SOBOT deal gone">picture of the original deal before it got blown out (Fortunately I had it still in my Browser's history list.):

http://robotsrule.com/html/i-sobot-deal-gone.php

I missed it too. :)

If people are still looking for I-sobots. The new price point seems to be $79.99. It's available from multiple websites for that price.
