Children’s Inflatable 2 MPH Speedboat

“Daddy? Do you mean Mommy?”

Did I say all that out loud? “Yes son, I was talking about your mother. And we’ll be having hot dogs as soon as I can get this apparently incombustible charcoal to light.” I give the mound another liberal douse with lighter fluid. I look on proudly as my boy steers his Children’s Inflatable 2 MPH Speedboat around the pool with an inquisitive hand. He’s picking it up quickly.

Humankind was meant to be on the water. We spread around the planet by boat, so the first chance I got I bought one of these for my children. Get ‘em started young learning the ins and outs of watercraft, is my motto. And they don’t come much safer than this.

Safety First

The Outboard electric motor drives a safely-shrouded propeller with no exposed blades to injure errant youthful limbs. It can be turned 360° enabling reverse movement to get out of sticky combat situations, such as incoming water balloons or  surprise water pistol attacks.

The speedboat is powered for up to five hours by eight D batteries, and can cruise at speeds of up to 2 mph (a slow walking speed) on calm water such as a pool or small pond. It is controlled by a child sitting in the 1/8”/3mm thick PVC inflated hull via a handhold with a finger trigger that turns the motor on or off immediately. There is enough space for two children and the craft is rated to hold up to 100 pounds.

Dimension: 8”/20cm tall, 25”/62.5cm wide and 53”/132.5cm long. Weight: 8lbs/3.6kg. Price: $99.95. Shipping: Available for immediate shipping. Available from hammacher.com.

Genuine Lost In Space B-9 Robot

This tall, mechanized robot added a bit of comic relief to the show. It was also the sidekick to the Will Robinson character. Perhaps the most memorable line uttered by the B-9 robot was its alarm. “Danger Will Robinson, Danger!” This was typically followed by a great deal of arm waving and spinning.

Now you can own a piece of history. The genuine Lost in Space B-9 robot is the greatest treasure available for collectors of this genre. Can you imagine anything more perfect than a six and one half foot tall robot ready to do your bidding? This amazing piece of animatronics is remote controlled allowing you to do everything from turning its torso left and right to activating its soil sampler.

Down To The Smallest Detail

Great pains have been taken to reproduce as much of the detail as possible. The makers even used the original molds which were pulled from the archives. This replica of the B-9 robot is no cheap plastic knockoff. It is literally made from steel, acrylic, aluminum and fiberglass. Imagine your friends’ amazement when they see a genuine looking B-9 rolling around with its lights flashing.

Even the ear sensors on this museum quality replica are animated. Perhaps one of the greatest features of the B-9 robot is its ability to “speak.” It has a library of 511 phrases which it will play across its 240 watt audio sound system! Take note, these are not some generic phrases recorded by some unknown voice talent. These have actually been recorded by Richard Tufeld.

For those not up on their Lost in Space trivia, Richard Tufeld provided the original voice for B-9 on the TV series. What fan of the show can honestly say they can’t remember the sound of B-9 warning Will of danger? The genuine Lost in Space B-9 robot can do all of this and more. It would make a great present for anyone interested in sci-fi collectables. The best thing about it is that it is not simply a stationary collectable that will just stand in the corner and collect dust.

It will continue to be a great conversation piece for a very long time. How do you think your guest would react when you yank out B-9’s power pack and he calls out “Aaghhhhh…” like he did on the show? You could then get a good laugh at their genuine delight when the Lost in Space robot asks who turned out the lights. B-9 is a great collector’s piece no matter if you want it for yourself or are buying it for someone special.

Try to picture their face when you use the remote control to roll B-9 into the room with a big bow on his dome and tell them “Happy…”

Dimensions: 84”/210cm tall and 42”/105cm in diameter. Weight: 100lbs/45kg. Price: $49,999.95. Available from Hammacher.com.

Brian the Brain

Can you picture a transparent talking brain with eyes in a fishbowl? While it may sound weird and somewhat gross to us kids love Brian the Brain. He is perhaps one of the greatest animatronic toys of our age. Brian has even been the winner of Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Products awards. This is in no way a small feat considering how many toys were considered.

Brian the Brain can respond to your child’s voice. As such he is programmed to recognize their voice and will respond accordingly. Brian will even begin to learn facts about your child and act accordingly. A great example would be Brian reminding your son or daughter of something like their ball game or dance recital.

Brian the Brain comes with a digital clock, but he also has a calendar and even a jack for an Mp3 player. This brain is more than just a simple piece of technology. He has a great personality as well. By asking your child what his or her likes and dislikes are Brian can then make their conversations a great deal more personal. He can even tell jokes that will leave your kids rolling with laughter.

A Great Learning Tool

Brian is more than just a child’s toy however. He is also a great source of information for your children. He comes pre-programmed with a world history timeline, a dictionary, and best of all The Encyclopedia Britannica. All of these serve to support the many games that Brian the Brain can play with your children.

Trivia, word games, and memory games all will help to increase your children’s reasoning abilities and further their learning. Another of Brian the Brain’s great features includes the integrated keyboard. This will allow children to communicate with Brian in text rather than verbally. This will help to further their keyboarding skills and typing speed.

For older children Brian has his own particular means of keeping them interested. All you have to do is connect Brian the Brain to a phone jack and you instantly have your own voice activated personal operator. Brian can memorize and then dial phone numbers for them. This in itself can be a perfect way to get your pre-tweens interested in what Brian has to offer.

Another benefit to Brian is a free subscription to Britannica Online which is good for three months. This is a great resource for those children who do a great deal of online research. Animatronics have come a long way in their development, and Brian the Brain is direct evidence of this fact. First used in the industrial realm it has now found its way into the private home. Bring Brian home and let him show you how to get your kids excited about learning today!

The Telekinetic Obstacle Course

This is the concept behind the telekinetic obstacle course. Made by Mattel, this course is based upon the principle of using your brain waves to power a fan. While it is not a true telekinetic feat, the harder you concentrate on the obstacle course the faster the fan will spin.

The concept behind the game is relatively simple. The fan is powered by the level of activity in your brain waves. As the ball floats up or down you will then turn a knob which turns the game board. You must synch the power of the fan with the movement of the board in order to keep the ball moving through the telekinetic obstacle course.

The telekinetic theory says that it is possible to move objects just by using the power of your brain. This obstacle course does just that, but in an offhanded manner. Instead of moving the ball as you might expect you simply power (or move) the fan.

Accessing The Power Of The Mind

The biggest question you might have is how does this work? The secret is the in the gear you use to communicate with the game board. The headband and clips are based on technology similar to that used to do EEG scans of the brain.

The headband has one lead which contacts with your forehead. Also, the two ear clips each contain a lead. These perform the same function as the sticky leads used by radiologists. They can read the amount of electrical activity taking place in your brain. The greater the amount of brain activity the faster the game fan will spin.

It is almost a misclassification to call the telekinetic obstacle course a toy. It is not only a way to pass the time; it is also an effective way to increase your ability to concentrate. This is a great way to keep your mind in good working order. There is a great deal of emphasis on keeping our minds in shape as a way to slow down or even prevent the onset of such problems as dementia.

What better way to help do so than to build up your concentration? This tends to be one of the areas that need the most help in both the young and their elders alike. The great thing is that you don’t have to get bored with the way the telekinetic obstacle course is arranged. With eight different obstacles and the ability to change those around there are a great number of configurations that are possible.

The question is how powerful are you? Do you think you have what it takes to maneuver the ball through the telekinetic obstacle course? There is only one way to find out. Give it a shot and find out just how strong the power of the mind can be!

Arcade Legends Full Size 125 Game System

Imagine relaxing in the den and playing such arcade legends as Super Breakout or Crystal Castles to pass the time.
