Found this at Hoppers Crossing HN store.

Price match or beat at JbHifi if nearer

Roll out with Parrot's Jumping Sumo drone. This connected robot roves about at a distance of up to 50m away, reaching amazing speeds of up to 7km/h. It zigs, zags and can turn on the spot, performing incredible acrobatic leaps up to 80cm high!

Key Features

Reaching full charge in just an hour, Parrot's amazing connected drone defies gravity for up to 20 minutes with mind-blowing 180 degree manoeuvres and can pull off impossible 90 degree turns that makes rally car driving look like a walk in the park.
The Jumping Sumo robot blazes along the surface at up to 7km/h and can pull off flash-jumps up to 80cm high. And unlike the neighbour’s cat, this intelligent robot will always land on its adjustable wheels that can be configured for high speed or stability.
Parrot's Sumo robot is comfortable exploring environments both indoors and out, while WiFi connectivity makes driving super-easy. It connects to your Apple or Android device with Parrot's FreeFlight 3 app - available for free from the App Store, Google Play and Windows Store*
Get into the thick of the action with the Jumping Sumo's integrated wide-angle video camera that lets you view and record your adrenaline fuelled adventures in real time. Connect to Parrot's Pilot Academy and share your experiences with other drone pilots across the globe.*

    Considering trying to price match this at JBHIFI. Did you end up buying one OP?

    • curryblender on 08/04/2016 - 16:50

      Yes I did
      Haven't set up yet, still at work until 5pm

      Thinking about all the evil things I can do with it

      • FutureTech on 08/04/2016 - 18:20

        Like what?

    battery last for?? if under 1 hour, no deal for me

    • justtoreply on 08/04/2016 - 16:53

      All toys like this generally have low battery lives (around 10 min)

    • Flyingmoo on 08/04/2016 - 16:53

      "up to" 20 minutes. Likely much lower

      • rawm on 08/04/2016 - 17:17

        From the official website: Battery
        Lithium-Polymer and removable (compatible with Rolling Spider)
        Lasts up to 20 minutes and full recharge in 90 minutes

        20mins haha!
        Maybe sliding the thing down a mountain or freefalling out of a plane!

        The speed of the wheels and the high jumps will require heaps of energy from the small battery.

        CNet review:
        Negs:

        Video capture is limited to VGA resolution and requires a Micro-USB thumb drive for storage. Battery life is "up to" 20 minutes, and the battery is charged in the Sumo and takes about 90 minutes to top off. Wi-Fi connection can be temperamental.

        All that said, for $98 its a great deal!!

    • harkoliar on 08/04/2016 - 17:49

      Some of the flying drones last for just 5 minutes

    • Trishool on 08/04/2016 - 18:05

      Same. No point in something that only lasts minutes. I'll wait until batteries can last for an hour at least, especially since I don't have any real need for such a device.

        Exactly. Baterry technology is indeed very poor. No improvement in the last two decades.

  • justtoreply on 08/04/2016 - 16:52

    Clearing out the old models it seems.

  • grizz_li on 08/04/2016 - 17:15

    Great price however after reading through Amazon's reviews, it seem a lot of people are having problems with the jumping mechanism.

    Can it really jump Parrots? Are we talking trained Parrots on the ground or flying Parrots?

  • Hornpub on 08/04/2016 - 17:38

    just read few review under the comment from parrot offical youtube, many ppl complaining about the easily broken plastic that is made for jumping mechanism.(mostly break on the same day they unboxed the item…)

    i think i am going to wait for next generation…

    the camera does stream. however poor connectivity and it is not a full HD, whats worse, there is no sound.

    for me, it is like a 50$ 60$ product with all the con i just said. i would happily pay for 100% if is made of aluminium and better camera.

    200$ for original price? hell no

  • Frugalbargainator on 08/04/2016 - 18:41

    Dick Smith has them slightly cheaper @ 60 or 65% off, 96$ from memory. I paid a little more and got the jumping race model for around $115. A bit of tweaking with the settings and it's a pretty awesome toy. Great for harassing the cats.

    The crazy thing is HN has the bebop 1 at 200$ more than the bebop 2.

    EDIT — they did the other day, the B 1 is now $300 cheaper than the B2.

    How the f*** are JB selling this for $219?

    I am so tempted to walk into a JB and ask for a price match but I just know I'll get rejected for some bullshit reason.

  • avgbowlofpho on 09/04/2016 - 09:10

    Do I want it?

    Yes

    Do I need it?

    No

    (still buys anyway)
