Operation Valentine Dalek: success!

[JoitheArtist]

Maybe it's just me and my feelings about this just passed fabricated overcommercialized crapfest holiday, but somehow seeing that guy in that outfit, it made perfect sense to be hearing "EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

That's kinda the point. Well, also because it gives me an excuse to drive my Dalek around the office instead of working, but hey...

I probably won't distribute candy or anything for St. Patrick's Day, but I totally have to dress him up for that one...And he's GOT to play the Easter Bunny in April...And Uncle Sam on July 4th...Oh, how I love my little Dalek! And he's still on his first set of batteries! I'm very impressed with him.

and where did you buy him? I feel the need to point the hubby it that direction for a birthday idea for me

I want him for my office to yell at my boss/uncle.


And he is too cute

http://www.bbcamericashop.com/house-...old-14072.html And it's on sale right now! It's a bit pricey, but works really well, and runs for a long time on one set of batteries. Plus, the eyestalk has the bright blue light in it, and when he's cruising around, it swivels and moves like it's scanning the area. And you can make him say 8 different phrases! His controls are pretty good, once you get the hang of them--he can turn pretty quickly and drag a weight of a pound or two. You can see a vid of mine in action at http://www.viddler.com/explore/SaintJoi/videos/108 to see an idea of how agile it is. Overall, well worth the price, I think.

and it's an RC DALEK! It just does not get cooler than that!

You realize, of course, you are going to somehow get a beer (real or fake) in the mix on that costume, right?

Okay, tell us....what are the 8 phrases?!?!?

Absolutely! He has two hands--I can put a shamrock in one and a Guiness in the other.

Okay, tell us....what are the 8 phrases?!?!?

*digs out the remote control* Let's see....there's:


"Halt! Or you will be exterminated!"

"Multiple spectrum scanning now engaged!"

"We are the supreme beings!"

"Seek, locate, annihilate!"

"You are an enemy of the Daleks!"

"Obey the Daleks!"

"No other warning will be given!"

"Exterminate!" (that one's great because it ends in the sound of the Dalek's death ray)

*falls over giggling madly*

I want a Dalek! I want one so I can chase the crazies out of the store!

Hmm....I wonder if I could write it off as a business expense...
