Can't believe I scored 2 remote controlled tarantulas! Of all places, I found them in the toy section of Target. Pretty realistic movement to them which is a bonus. My oldest son was looking at some MegaBlocks Halo sets and I just happened to look next to one of the boxes and there they were! Hadn't had much luck finding anything new until now. A few people looked at us like we were crazy doing the happy dance over RC tarantulas but who cares!?!

I have one of these too.
This is not my video but it should give you an idea on the movement.

Holy crap, that would make me jump if I weren't expecting it!

I bet that would "encourage" my kids to get up and get ready for school if it just happened to be walking towards them on the end of their beds ha, ha. Of course there is always the risk of it becoming a flying projectile...

Wow! This is very realistic movement! I wonder if they have these at our Target...

Your local Toys 'R' Us may have it as well, according to a Google search I just ran.

I got them for $16.99 each. I guess that is why I am so stoked about getting them.

here's another thing.. target had these HUGE flexible magnifying plastic sheets on clearnace. I regret not buying them. They were about 9 inches wide and ober 18 inches long. Flexible plastic. When you looked at something it became HUGE, but even more interesting, when you held it up to your head, your head looked ENOURMOUS. If you could make a hat/helmet and suspend this plastic infront, it would look like:little body, HUGE HEAD> . It has ribbing in it , so isn't perfectly see-thru- it was a bit distorted, but woudl have LOTS of H'Ween uses, since its an unbreakable lens.
