Yesterday my hubby, my bouncing baby boy and I went to the mall...nothing exciting...but as we trekked through t all the stores...we came upon this one store that I had never seen or heard of before...called Robot Galaxy.....
Right away I looked at my son and his eyes turned into the size of quarters..."Guys we have to go in there" yeah that's right he calls his parents (us) guys....So we went in there at first all I saw was robot parts and for a second didn't quite get it....but then I kept looking around and realized this was like the Build-a-bear store but here you build Robots!!!
How cool is that...finally a store for boys....girls have the build -a- bear (yeah boys can do that too..), they have American Girl Doll and that Libby Lu....
So we got some help from one of the stores "G- Force Organizers" we picked Pango (that's the robots name) then we picked the top half of the robot, the bottom half and then proceeded to choose which arms my son wanted on the robot.
Then we were taken to Mission Control ( a computer) where the Robot was "programmed" to say my son's name and other sayings...but the coolest part was when my son had to take the "key" the robot comes with a key....and the robot was placed on a platform .....there was a countdown...and my son had to turn the key and the platform raised up .....culminating in the Robots being brought to life and activated.....
(this is Pango..but we got different arms)I thought it was pretty cool...my 4 yr old was more interested in taking everyone's keys and sending the robots up the platform....
So 60 bucks later we came out of the store and my son was interested in knowing where his robot KEY was.....I guess I will be playing with Pango from now on.
This is a boys dream! We need one of these in California.
ReplyDeleteAaargh, I'm sooo upset. A college buddy and I had thought of this years ago...we could've been rich!
ReplyDeleteI hope they open one near us, my son would go absolutely gaga!
