Red Robopod Limited Edition

Red Robopod by Wowee

Product # WW261

This is the Red Robopod version. As far as features its basically the same as its white or green counterparts. Wowee reports it made special deals with large networks to produce the same toy in a special color. Colors that presumably will be thought of as being limited edition. This was released before the holiday season 2008. Though they sold well the price dropped to half of its price before December 25. Now Sharper Image online and catalogue retailer has slashed the price down to 49.99 as of Jan 14 07. Most customers will feel extra special they nabbed a red robopod, but everyone knows they never sold out online. So it only cool if your favorite color is red at this point. The robopod in general comes apart very easily and is ideal for those who want to have some thing that already has a cool factor to tinker with. The picture provided courteously by SharperImage.com
