FLY Pentop Computer 2

Post Published:


I just ordered a Fly pentop pack from the Leap Frog site. We were at Costco yesterday and inquired about the sets that we had bought one of earlier, and they were out, and also learned that another store in a deeper populated area near Atlanta does still have them, but they were the original price still, that the 2 Costco’s that we go to are some of the stores that don’t move as much merchandise, and so they get deeper discounting to move something out totally, afterawhile. Ah, yes, we note this to be true and now have the words of the staff to support it. We do like our Costco, the newest one, it’s further up and out, and more our style, and we don’t like the heavy traffic and feel of the stores that are closer in.

I also looked on eBay a bit, but knowing that I had seen nice prices on LeapFrogs site when looking at accessories last week, I went there today as well. They have the “Extreme” bundle for $74.99, and on eBay I saw that being sold for $95+ … so with shipping and tax on LeapFrog’s site, it came to $90.98 and will be shipped ground. I couldn’t find a deal like that on eBay for the same product. I could have found a different package, or pieced something together, but the point was, to get more than the Fly Pen basic-ness for less … I could find the pen somewhere in some store for $49.99 + tax, without a charger. We could have trotted over to another Costco and found the Hello Kitty package for $69.99 + tax, and for both have to travel around looking and using gas and energy of our own. So instead, I got the Extreme package on Leapfrog, it has Fear Factor games instead of Hello Kitty or Harry Potter (like the Costco bundles/packages) plus it has the Fly speaker. This way I didn’t get Flyware that I didn’t want (HK or HP) and did get a game Flyware, and speaker and all the stuff that comes in the main bundles, the Flypaper Notebook, the pen and charger, and Launch Pad and all that rest that comes in the bundle (the little pieces.)

It’d be nice to have it earlier, but since it’s holiday time and not wanting to go out looking for it, and not wanting to pay for expedited shipping and not to have it get here before the weekend most likely anyhow, it’ll get here when it gets here, and it’s worth it to have patience.

It’s going to mine and I’ll share it with my eldest, in having him use it for some things and just not have it be “his” alone.
