    Prank idea for the upcoming April Fool's Day

    how squish proof are they?

      "50 Uses" I guess on the 51st they get squished.

      PVP FTW SAAAN !

  • beyondparadigms on 13/03/2012 - 14:50

    I want to buy 200 of them and put them in a bucket on top of the front door…

  • ironworthy on 13/03/2012 - 14:50

    I actually want this

    • c64 on 13/03/2012 - 14:51

      have you watched the video? they only seem to vibrate

      • Shirty Grizzly on 13/03/2012 - 14:58

        Lol i think they also move the camera to make it look like it's moving more than it is..

      • c64 on 13/03/2012 - 15:02

        also, what does the guy's tattoo say?

        • StewBalls on 13/03/2012 - 21:02

          Western people whose tattoos are in Chinese characters all say the same thing…"I'm a douche!"

    The word "Cute" in the title is a very subjective word here…

    Another thing I found funny is that when you get to their website the product seems to get "19912 diggs" although I can't find the actual entry on Digg.com. Actually most of their other products have 5 digit number of diggs. That's a bit dodgy…

      Digg-puppeting?

      Should actually be a bannable offense and prevent them from listing on ozbargain, tbh.

    I like the wifi detector LED tshirt.
    Would they even last more then a week?

      Caveat emptor. You'll wish you'd spent a little bit more when you're ambling along in your wireless a/b/g shirt & dudes are whizzing by you in their wireless 'N' gear! :p

    I just came here to post that cockroaches are in no way Cute. the only satisfaction i get from them is when i kill them

      can't agree with more :) one of the most disgusting creatures one could find indoor. Maybe useful to train my dog to kill them lol

    • c64 on 13/03/2012 - 15:45

      meh, everything has a place in the ecosystem

        thats what i thought till i seen cockroaches. then i realised the only place in the ecosystem they belong is in my dustbin—-DEAD!

        Also i notices that two ppl negged my comment. They must think cockroaches are cute. hope u think they are cute after they come out of ur toilet into ur food. must remember all the germs they spread

        • StewBalls on 13/03/2012 - 17:43

          Ah, the dustbin…the natural enemy of the cockroach…a majestic beast, witness it's mighty flapping lid catching it's prey in it's native environment…the kitchen!

    at first i thought they meant the cockroaches were a 50-use only item lol

    how can a cockroach be cute in anyway?

  • pilchard on 13/03/2012 - 15:49

    I have one of these. They take an immense amount of light to actually work. Ordinary sunlight won't do the trick. :/

    • effgee on 13/03/2012 - 20:06

      mine works fine in bright sunlight (in fact annoyingly loud), but stops when clouds come across. I can drive it with my cree LED torch. Maybe yours is a dud.

      • pilchard on 13/03/2012 - 20:52

        I also have a grasshopper which is the same. An LED torch works great, but I've got them to go in sunlight.

        They still look cool on my shelf though. :)

  • iamakid on 13/03/2012 - 15:51

    they will finally crashed by someone's slipper anyway.

      • EarlyBird on 13/03/2012 - 19:43

        She may just bury it among the mini-size meat pies she prepares for his dinner.

        • StewBalls on 13/03/2012 - 20:48

          LOL…I can hear his mum now…I can think of more than 50 things to do with a fake roach & a party pie:

          1: scare the crap out of James
          2. scare the crap out of James, again
          3. scare the crap out of James, again

    Bought one of these a while ago to place in a collegues draw.
    Found it to be useless. needs the combined power of 2 Suns to work.

    Why buy a solar powered cockroach when there are plenty real ones out there? Cockroaches are plentiful in perth, and hardly scare anyone.

    • alvian on 13/03/2012 - 16:47

      Real cockroaches hide from bright light so you never realise how cute they are.

  • JepunK on 13/03/2012 - 16:46

    should change the title to : Vibrating Cocckroach…let your imaginations run wild…

  • thepigs on 13/03/2012 - 17:41

    how can it be less to ship an actual product from china than to buy a stamp in your own country?

    • llama on 13/03/2012 - 18:56

      Do you understand the concept of a "marketing promotion"?

      The idea isn't to make money… in this case they are literally making you PAY for them to advertise to you.

  • Click_It on 13/03/2012 - 17:45

    Are the 50 used? I can't find anywhere to enter the code. Meh, too hard basket. If there are any left someone else can have my allocation :)

    • Store Repstargazer @ BestOfferBuy on 13/03/2012 - 18:35

      Hi Click_It, aedeau,

      You can enter the coupon code at checkout. It shows up at Step 2 of 3 (payment information) under Discount Coupon. You then enter the code in the box after Redemption Code.

      • gmatht on 14/03/2012 - 02:25

        You can't reach this step unless you register, which was not mentioned in the instructions. Way too much effort just to be told that it has now been used up.
