$250 with no camera/monitor and an IR remote? Bah

AlternateEarth

For $250.00 Wall-E needs to be able to give me a Hand-E.

Forget an mp3 cable. The thing is made from a Pixar movie, just put an iPhone/iPod dock on it and be done with it already.

@cptodd: My local Toys'R'Us, WalMart AND Target were all sold out of Wall-E merchandise for the entire opening week of the movie. My girlfriend wanted one of the iDance Wall-E's, and was a little disappointed (mostly because I wouldn't let her have the one I alraedy owned), but we took some comfort in assuming they didn't want to go overboard with merchandise, considering the movie's messages you speak of.

@leetXcore: CLASSIFIED.

I'd love to have one of these Wall-E units identify someone coming into my room and remotely triggering the new Nerf gun. [gizmodo.com]

Directive?

When I went to see Wall-E, I was given a cheap rubber kids watch for free. It doesn't seem like the Disney execs picked up anything from the film.

Oh, and one of my former companies wanted me to work the lavish wasteful catering event for the film's opening. Way to take a great movie and shit all over it.

Can he gather up garbage, compact it into small cubes, and make buildings out of them?

No?

No sale.

Great, now we just need armageddon, and the toy will be complete.

capitalass

So wait, can he control himself with his own remote control like in the picture above? Cuz THAT would be cool.

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

Disney: so close, but yet so far.

@cptodd:

LMAO.

@Dunny0, ELE Hopeful: That's lame as hell.

But, personally, I wouldn't even use the remote function. I'd spend countless hours putting in fake rust and metal wear, so that it looks just like the 700 year old weather/garbage-compaction beaten WALL-E.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

gotta love this part:

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

@cptodd: If you sift through the Rottentomatoes fresh picks, there is one reviewer who points out this same thing.

I try to separate the artists' message from the slew of corporate merchandising.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

this is ironic given some of the messages in the movie.

cptodd

$250, and it comes with an god-damn IR remote.

Why? Why no RF?

Dunny0, ELE Hopeful

Cute. Maybe I can get it to carry my lunch. Dir-EC-tive Ham & Cheese!

I want him to be friends with my roomba and chase him around while he does the work

It's been available for pre-order from Toys-R-Us for at least three weeks.

This the biggest advancement in terrorizing your girlfriend's cat in decades. This is even more important than a remote control ball of yarn with gyroscope tracking linked to the remote. Tired of not sleeping with your girl without "kitty" sleeping in the room preventing romantic interludes? This is your weapon.

Hello_Newman

I'm glad they're apparently putting in that recording ability like on the movie. I'd be too obliged to find "Hello Dolly!" on DVD and record parts of that with it, though.

As much as I'd want to get it, I'm thinking it's supposed to be "Ultimate", so how come it's got those speaker holes and doesn't seem to have anything extremely special for the price. For $250, why can't it box up, or have those solar panels? I know I sound extremely picky, but I'm sure some of you'd like that too!

Mr.Wilson

hmm... if the add a freeze/warm stuff on its belly it would be niiiice
=)

@smackswell:
i got one too, but i thought those were only for kids?
or are you good at looking little?
ah well, i'll probably make one out of my gamecube.

roflwaffles

@logruszed: you must be a very lonely man.

Carmen-I'M NOT ASIAN!

How big is this thing? It can't be all that "ultimate" if it runs off of 4 AA batteries.
