Interesting… Where to learn Blockly code?

  The app that goes with this robot teaches Blocky. Young kids catch on quite quickly.

  Hi wtfnodeal
  
  If you check the feedback, you can see the story behind the one negative comment we have received. The buyer was not satified in getting their package with one day to spare… I guess you can’t satisfy everyone all the time - even when you have done everything expected of you :)

    - Associatedtechplayground @ techplayground on 01/07/2018 - 09:00
      
      They were purchased direct from UBTech - they are this price to clear - to make some room in the warehouse

      @techplayground:
      I see, I guess from the overwhelming response you don't have to discount so heavily to clear them out. (learn from toys r us, 5% off lego lol) Thanks for bringing up this great deal, good job!:)

$318 (including shipping)

Still a great price - just RRP perhaps a little ambitious.
- Associatedtechplayground @ techplayground on 01/07/2018 - 00:40
  
  The RRP is set by the manufacturer in each region and $599 is correct for Australia.

    I am about to order one…( to make clear that I think it is a good price)
    I see you are new to ozbargain - a word of caution - RRP's don't go down so well here - we generally want to compare the current "bargain" price with the previous/usual price or what we would pay for it elsewhere..
    
    Just thought I would share a friendly word of caution.
    
    Otherwise - welcome to ozbargain and great 1st deal!!

    No store has every sold at RRP

  - dr_ rusko on 01/07/2018 - 00:50
    
    you're absolutely right - thought I had switched it over - my point still stands though
    (though it makes this deal look even better)
    thanks for picking that one up!
- CheapGit on 01/07/2018 - 00:54
  
  $399.99 USD on the Ubtech website https://ubtrobot.com/products/inventor-kit
  
  So $139 delivered looks a decent price for this kit and something to see if your kid is interested in it without spending too much.
  
  My kids have been using Lego Mindstorms at school, but not sure how this compares.
- crazyleo on 01/07/2018 - 00:57

  isn't that USD? RRP on amazon is $399USD which is around $538AUD and amazon is currently selling on special for $280USD=$378AUD. This is a great price.
Make it so on 01/07/2018 - 00:40

Thanks, ordered one. Hope my mathematically-inclined 6-year-old will like it.

  It says tax invoice? Looks like have to wait longer
  - wtfnodeal on 01/07/2018 - 09:33
    
    Yeah. Is it just me that think emailing them tax invoice with evry single detail of what we have bought from amazon is a bit lack of privacy? Or if tracked they would know what we are buying anyway?
- Associatedtechplayground @ techplayground on 01/07/2018 - 09:02

  Unfortunately that model is sold out with no possibility of more stock. There is a different model available that hasn’t as many pieces for $99 (suits younger kids) - it usually retails for $199.

  Hi Tacosaurus Rex
  
  If you want something this week without the hassle of trying to negotiate with someone, I am able to offer a similar robot (it is slightly cheaper - $99) it just has less pieces, but works in the same way - it is located on our regular website (not amazon): https://www.techplayground.com/product/ubtech-jimu-explorer-… - it was last priced at $199 so you save $100.
  - 1cent2much on 01/07/2018 - 15:44
    
    How many pieces?
    - Associatedtechplayground @ techplayground on 01/07/2018 - 16:52
      
      372 pieces
  - wtfnodeal on 01/07/2018 - 15:57
    
    Will this set go well with the one posted to build a bigger robot?
    - Associatedtechplayground @ techplayground on 01/07/2018 - 16:55
      
      i don’t believe they can be combined as the design of the pieces are different

      I ordered online on Sunday night and the order arrived today.
      Impressive for free delivery.
      They also threw in an spare servo motor.
