Although Pleo’s only been out for about six months, UGOBE opened up shop at PleoWorld about a year ago, and to celebrate they’re selling the robo-dino-pets at over $100 off the regular $350 price tag. The promo goes on until July 11th, and apparently all you need to do is pop in a promo code (PLEOWORLDISONE) and you’ll get yours for a cool $235, which is an especially great deal if your intention is only to slaughter it.

It’s even smart enough to sustain a note if you hold your hand over a particular area for an extended time. We don’t hand out unwarranted props, but we can’t help but tip our hats to this one.

This British steam engine car “can turn 10.5 gallons of water a minute into boiling-hot feat, with velocities in excess of 150 mph.” Click here for first picture in gallery.

The Magnetix I-Coaster “combines speed, high-tech design, and magnetism into one package.” Product page. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
As with all Magnetix toys, the basis of the iCoaster is magnetic power. The coaster’s “car” is a 15-millimeter metal ball — or “rider ball” — which is propelled along the track through magnetism.

Designed by Timothy Brien, this electric-powered gladiator ball “will rotate against the direction of travel resulting in spins, somersaults, corkscrews, barrel rolls and other nausea inducing motions.” Click here for first picture in gallery.
Each motor is controlled by a separate throttle which will either cause the chair to spin inside the ball or work together to push the ball forward.
