look whats for sale at think geek. so cool





ThinkGeek :: Portal Turret LED Flashlight w/ Sound

 

Holy shiiii.
Must buy them!

Although $20 for a flashlight is pretty bad, who can resist Wheatley? =P

 

I was just about to order one for a present, but they want $23 to ship it to the U.K . I never understand why shipping costs so much.

 

That's pretty sweet. Are they licensed?

 

Yeah they are official. I want to get four and make this, but at $25 each that's just too much for me.

 

They are not bad at all for the price. I've been debating buying one and seeing if I can gut it for parts for my own to save $ for me and the interested people as well as internal space. Just not sure if it's guts could be triggered by an arduino.

 

I bought one, it' pretty cool. it's stands up pretty well once you get it, the legs are a little thin (the part that comes out from the body. I'll post pics and a video.

EDIT: ok shot a quick video

Edit: Disregard this response. Saw the YouTube link.

 

Thanks for the video!
I have one of these heading over for christmas, looks much better than I thought

I love how the eye changes brightness as it talks, I think the site description doesn't do it justice :lol

 

Thanks for the video - I bought one but still waiting for it to arrive....

 

Love mine. Turrets are so polite, considering that they want to kill you!
