Roboboa for only £40
These things normally go for about £70-£80 eg: www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/3519257/-/Product.html but for whatever reason Argos currently have some kind of product-cross and are selling them under the name RoboQUAD which retails for about half the price!
I've tried it, you deffo get the Boa, not the Quad.
Need a cool toy this Xmas? Be quick before they all go! (or Argos realise they fucked up)

TBH now that I have both, I think the Roboquad is the better robot,
he has much more personality and just works better, but if you already have him and like me want to add to your collection, at half price, why not eh?
BTW, they don't get along, Quad is scared of Boa and Boa just shoots him on sight!

I have neither, but I think the snake looks cooler than the sentinel.
Also, Roboquad gets alot of bad reviews on Play.

I know, I wrote one of those!
But that was relative to the Sapien V2, which was all I had at the time, but now with having tried the Boa, Quad and Pet, I was gonna review it to be a tad more favourable, as I do think it's the best one for the price now of the 'lesser' Wowwee robots (as priced on PLAY anyway), but I can't as Play are refusing product review updates at the mo.
It's certainly the cutest and best at getting about on uneven ground of all I've had, and it reacts well to sound, light and proximity.
The Roboboa LOOKS the coolest tho, oh, and he has tracking (follows moving objects) which I imagine if you have a cat could be great fun!

argos are notorius for fucking up with their prices
I've had a £150 hard drive out of them for £74 this year, as well as their most expensive tower socket in replacement for the cheaper version I was going to get becasue they said they didn't have the most expensive tower socket in stock. it's a weird old world in Argos.

They also do a pretty good line in re-selling faulty returns within hours

Similarly
play were selling whole James Bond collection for a tenner the other day. It was an accident and they aren't honouring the mistake unfortunately.
Be it's not as good as my robot George. I loved him.
