Opened Iz?

Post by gryn » Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:50 pm

Did anyone see any opened Iz in any greater-Helsinki shops? (It's sort of novelty speaker toy)

Son is nagging me for one, he even decided to use his "birthday wish" on it... It's not that it's expensive or anything, we could buy it, it's just the pointlessness of the whole idea. I'd really like to let him play in the aisle for a few minutes, I'm sure he's a smart kid and will see the light.

I haven't seen one for quite a bit. I thought quite a few of the stores sold out in early November.

Saw an opened one today at the Anttila in City Kayttava. They are closing the store and all the toys are 30% off. There was one boxed one and one open one on the top of the shelf along the wall.

My kids have one of those; wanna borrow it? :D And I wouldn't be so
sure about him seeing the light. My very smart 6-year-old just had to
buy one so badly for his 3-year-old brother when we were in Schiphol
that voluntarily spent his own birthday money on it :shock:.

That said, dissuade your kid from wanting one as it is hugely annoying if
they take a liking to it.

We passed through Anttila CityKaytava today; there was already no opened Izes. But the discussion that we had after passing by the boxed one was fairly rational; maybe the alarm is off for now. Thanks for the idea everyone!
