Feh, is it really worth 120$?

[jonjandran]

Oh no , I don't think so.
I just thought it was a neat item.
I hadn't seen one before.

That was more a rhetorical question than aimed at you, John. :D

They are uncommon though, that's for sure.

heh,
yeah, 120 is WAY too high. i don't think these are that uncommon though. i've seen like 3 in the wild but haven't picked one up yet because they're always priced too high.

I've seen just one myself, but one side of it was broken. Nature of the beast when you combine kids with headset type units.

I have heard that you have to say "FIRE" to get the get the thing to shoot. Some kids can't stop moving their heads around so much so they probably got mad and broke them when they couldn't hit the targets.

Nope, not true. I got one of these for $5 at a flea a few months back, and it was missing some stickers on it, but works fine. INusually just say somethnig stupid like "Duck" or "Lose" when I use it.

?!?

I saw one sell on eBay a couple months back for ~40$US.. and it was complete in the box!

I got mine for 20$CDN at a local pawn shop.. complete in the box.. only problem it had was the box was in pretty bad shape (ripped up). Nothing a bit of white glue didn't help.

Yeah.. it's really cool thing to have.. but the aim isn't anywhere close to the hand held gun.
