Hello Everybody!
I filled up fuel again today at the same servo I posted about a while back. Liberty Service Station, 235 Flemington Rd, North Melbourne VIC.
Today they have those fidget spinners all the kids are raving about. I bought 3 for my nephews as their dad had not been able to find them. These ones are pretty cool, with patterns and the like.
They have 2 sorts:
Plain colour - $6.95
Patterned - $7.95
This seemed like a good deal to me. Feel free to lecture me if I am wrong!! :P
What is this for?
Fidgeting. The latest toy craze at primary school designed to drive parents and teachers crazy.
Any commentary on the concept please OP? What are your thoughts?
Written on the back of the package, it says that it can help people with ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, meditation, and boredom. I wonder if it can help wean me off OzBargain….
That's stupid and is pure marketing. Picking your nose will help with boredom
now that's classy D6C1 ;)
+1 skill
No it doesn't … er, so I overheard recently on a train.
why would you want to be weaned off ozbargain… you're crazy
It's torn me and my family apart.
Wife: "Can you please do the vacuuming!?"
Me: "Hold on one sec, theres a Xiaomi RoboVac for sale for $499 and can be delivered in 3 weeks!"
3 weeks later
Me: "Damn, they sent it in black instead of white."
Walks to post office
Impossible.
It's basically a plastic shell with three metal rings, each with free-moving ball bearings inside them.
They were selling like hotcakes at Melbourne Central yesterday - 2 for $20.
Ah kids these days…
Bring me back to the 90s where it was about tamagotchis, Nintendo, sea monkeys, and watching early morning cartoons.
Ah kids of the 90's…
Bring me back to the days of the 70's where it was about Yo Yo's, Sea Monkeys that had to be ordered from the back of the comic and early morning cartoons like
Jossie and the Pussycats, The Archies, and The Banana Splits (not a cartoon, but oh, the memories). :-p
Ah kids of the AD's…
Bring me back to the days of the Stone Age where it was about being the first kid on the playground with fire, the wheel or to survive past the age of 14 …
And then religion came along and tried to stop us using our fiddle toys. Cause you to go blind, not holy blah blah blah….
Digimon
Cheaper online for sure, but if you really must have them NOW (can't wait for shipping), this is not an awful price to pay. They have glow-in-the-dark versions available for the same price in a little stall outside Big W in Fountain Gate (VIC).
can be had elsewhere for cheaper.

Delivery takes 3-4 weeks. If you select AUD at the top right of the screen, they will bill you in AUD (via Paypal of course).
Colour #21 is described as "Fluorescent", but judging from the pics they mean glow-in-the-dark.

Thanks, but I think most people are aware of what online stores I'm referring to.
They're all on backorder despite not mentioning so.
Not local stock
Cheaper online but good price for in store
Agreed, much cheaper online but all the ones I found have a 3 week + wait. By then the kids will be onto the next craze.
FYI did find them for $5 for the normal versions and $7 for the flashing LED version at the Shop Smart Outlet Centre in Mount Druitt, Sydney, in a small shop opposite the Donut King.

Your Ozbargain license is hereby suspended!
Does it spin both ways?
If it is a genuine question, yes it spin both ways…
It wasn't :(
Yes, it spins both clockwise and anticlockwise depending on which side you look at it from.
Lol "but the govt won't fix the housing crisis!" as I sip by vanilla doible shot latte with soy and text away on my $1000 phone.
While eating your Smashed Avo for brunch.
Going on to eating your $25 salad for lunch before celebrating dinner for your daughter's $8000 birthday.
I paid $25 for mine :(, though that was weeks and weeks ago and was the only place in Aus I could find.
Pro tip, give one to your primary school aged nephew for massive brownie points. Not sure about nieces, can't speak from experience :D
cheaper online.
