Looks like a decent bargain for this size model compared to Amazon and anatomywarehouse.com ($166.43 "economy" shipping to Oz).
Yes, this is the bare bones model and this post could do with some fleshing out etc.

Don't wager an arm and a leg on it.
Aldi's really cutting profits to the bone.
I find this humerus.
Ladies and Gentlemen - we have a winner in my mind, but that's tibia xpected from a quality contributor like scrimshaw3
no bones about it.
@ scrimshaw
That agreed with my funny bone. Tickled it and my ribs.
Let me just Muscle in here and say this post is Tendon on the light side. Needs to have a bit more meat on the bones. Truth of the matter it doesn't have the heart. Have had a gut full of these ones.
just tagging this for punny posts
All these puns are getting under my skin..
you get a neg for this, and yet the "boner" comment under you gets almost 30 + votes. What is the world coming to, turnip ?
The what under her? Oh, i see now.
This deal is giving me a boner!
lolz
I have one of these (the skeleton, not the boner) in my dining room.
GF got it from Typo I think for around $80. We use him as a hat holder. Oh, he is around 170cm tall, so double the height of this deal.EDIT: damn google is fast - I found my own comment above in a Google search 1 minute after posting it, when trying to find a link to the Typo one. And this deal is only minutes old.
Nothing wrong with having a boner in the dining room.
Unless your female, in which case it's awkward

and better Miss Scarlett than Mrs White

That's almost like deja vu. But I'm sure I've told you that before, haven't I?
If this is giving you a boner, imagine what its going to do to Dick SMith
I couldn't get a boner at Aldi Top Ryde. Out of stock.
Can you park him in the passengers seat for a transit lane.
If pulled over you can say you were going to your mates funeral…
I'd say taking my mate for the last ride.
Better late than never!
I use to have a set of real skeleton in my bed room. It is not legal to import them to Australia anymore.
Not legal to make your own either..
I have no idea the past history of my set. He was 1.6m tall. He taught me a lot and I taught him nothing.
I bet you showed him a thing or two though
At least you didn't have to make it breakfast in the morning.
What the hell do you do with a real skeleton when you are done with it? Is there a secondhand market for them? It's not like you can just put human bones out with rubbish.
you simply become the best friend of every dog in the neighbourhood
I've got a few skeletons in my closet
Don't we all? :)
Just in time for Halloween .
The misses is going to be totally scared out of her skin !
You will have TWO skeletons then !!
Now that's a bargain
this post has taken a dark, dark turn very quickly!
Skeletons come in only one color though.
racist as usual, I see ms ;)
Where can you buy the rest of him?
Cheers. Now my account on ebay will be suggesting blow up dolls for eternity.
What's changed? ;)
Hahaha 'clothes not provided'… Thankfully comes with hair :)
and "the bits"!
Be warned; this guy will not stop asking you to go to parties with him. He's always gone to parties alone in the past because he had no-body to go with.
Yeah, but watch out. He's a skinflint, always wanting to elbow his way in and skull someone else's drinks for free. Soul-less really.
it's actually a skeleton from a child.
A fallen child slave from [insert some country here]
Did you know?: The average human body makes enough bones to make an entire human skeleton.

You guys have all bitten more than you can chew….is there anything left humerus about it..No body is laughing..

I want to get off Mr Bones' Wild Ride.
A skeleton walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "Give me a beer….
……and a mop."
There's too many puns being thrown around in this joint
I heard they use the skeletons of customers who passed away in store waiting for customer service
ah yes, the old MSY rumour!
The more expensive skeletons are anatomically accurate to finer detail, and full size.
If you've got the cash this would be a better bet for learning.
http://www.anatomywarehouse.com/somso-premium-skeleton-male-…wtf thats 1.7k…..lol nearly gave this Ozbarginer a myocardial infarction….

Came for the comments, was not disappointed.
Wish these where not so plasticy, moulded from real animal bones if possible would give a greater Look and feel.
It would probably just end up in my closet
With all the others, hey?
Reported all the comments in this deal for being off-topic. Hopefully the mods aren't as gutless as this brand new, 85cm skeleton replica for the low, low price of $49.99.
On-topic:
Aldi are an esteemed grocery retailer and I am quite sure that they wouldn't sell something like this. Frozen spare-ribs, maybe. OP should update the post with the flavours of sauce they're available in. Plum? Barbecue? Both??Off-topic:
Isn't it weird, how certain things remind you of certain other things..?
Sometimes.
Pleasingly so.Haven't seen Ms. Marshall perform live for a while, but when she does, I'm sure she's still off with the pixies.
+1 for Cat Power! (okay, falling asleep to Metal Heart tonight..)
+1 for Turnip Power (and sleeping, in).
So who's actually burying this?
lol
lol autocorrect, was meant to say buying*. but i guess this will be negged as well…
Haha, thought you might have been creating your own Potter's field.
I've got a bone to pick with Aldi.
I wanted one but they couldn't find the key to the cabinet. I said can't you just use a skeleton key?
Then the checkout chick tried to tell me Calcium was the 21st element! I told her that's not an atomically correct answer.
It all took ages because being a public holiday there was only a skeleton crew working there.I think these skeletons are the remain from Apple factory in China. I have heard workers have been exploited to death. When dried and at the right time, they packed it up for Aldi.
well played!!!
I know Chinese people are generally* shorter in stature than Australians, but 85cm??!! Maybe Apple only employs dwarves in China?
Australia 178.4 cm (5' 10.2") 163.9 cm (5' 4.5")
China (PRC) 164.8 cm (5' 4.9") 154.5 cm (5' 0.8")I found these numbers in an article from 2008. No idea when the information was obtained.
*there are exceptions of course and the huge population is going to throw up many "outliers". The tallest woman known to medical history was Chinese - she was 248 cm.
Think a modern version of oomph loompas, with Steve Jobs (rest his iSoul) dressed as Willy Wonka
lol
Or it could be from child labour. Worked them to the bone.Think…Steve Jobs (rest his iSoul) dressed as Willy Wonka
Can't think - no turtleneck, no Steve.
Think a modern version of oomph loompas,
Your comment has plenty of oomph, but autocorrect left you with no oompa.
You just uncovered a dark secret. You can fit more dwarves into a dorm room, and since they're smaller you can pack more of them into the plant, and as they're smaller they take less to feed and clothe, and they also work just as fast as regular sized workers. You won't get in trouble with child labour laws either.
You'd be silly not to employ an army of dwarves for your next electronics factory.
The iPad mini and the Mac Mini were originally intended as staff rewards.
I'll go out on a limb and challenge anyone to find a lamer bone pun than this one
