I've seen them in person at the Tacoma mall (or maybe puyallup mall) in washington
I'm sure they're probably in most malls during the holiday. I'm pretty sure it was in a gadget type store, but it may have been at one of the holiday-only type set-ups in the middle of the hallway.

Seemed cool -- but not $40 cool. I wouldn't consider it for my dad -- but I would consider it for a 10-12 year-old, except for the price.
If it was $10-15, I'd probably get it for a kid.

But if you're rich, and have no other ideas, it's probably fine for desk decor.

Yeah, $40 isn't cheap by any means and I know that ThinkGeek is probably making a killer profit on each one but I'm not sure what else to get him.
