We need to get some of these and some of the itty-bitty turtles from http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/05/teeny_tiny_tort.html together and see what happens.

At first when I watched the video I was mildly annoyed by the noise they make, but by the time they were all going simultaneously, I was laughing. What great late-night entertainment! Just whan I needed :)

haha.. that last shot reminded me of Hungry Hungry Hippos. *g*

What if someone just got like a thousand of those and lined them up and activated them right in front of some public area? That would be like a turtle takeover.

How do we get the other colors like in the video? I need a multicolored turtle army! :-)

lol, teeny eeny mechanical turtles making a huge sound in the video. “What’s that sound? Is it the attack of the killer robots? Oh, it’s just a little robot desk turtle.”

My 11 yo son begged a co-worker of mine to pick some walkie-bits up on his last business trip to Japan. He’s made some videos of the toys and posted them on his blog filmspree.com

http://www.jlist.com –> search “turtle”; they’ve been available since just about forever

Oh, I would love one so much! But yeah, that noise is actually really annoying. I’m not sure I could stand it. Certainly couldn’t play with it at work.

Aaaaaah! The ADD should never own this! I can hardly get work done as it is! I could barely tear myself away from the video. Imagine owning one…

15 Nickole 06.06.06 at 6:51 am

Fantastic idea: I’ll buy some of these to my nieces! They’ll love them!

Yes.

But my brother will hate me forever.

And plan a glorious revenge when I get children.

Hm.

Better not, then…

My boyfriend ordered me one off the initial website and I haven’t gotten it yet. :(

I bought my boyfriend one that matches our own baby red eared slider turtle. However, I think that the real turtle is seriously confused now. FYI: they can walk, remember patterns, race, and sing. It is just to cute!

I found new WAKIE on shop.
It is parent and child’s turtle.
