So has Woot! been reduced to selling boxes with holes cut in it and trying to pass them off as kid's toys? Wow...that last Wootoff must have been as bad as everyone thought it was!

How was it? Is it sturdy? It looks like it would be fun for my 3 yr. old.

Does it come with the washing machine?

I bet cats would LOVE these since every cat I know likes to play in a box. That or use these to "house" the litter box to give cats even more privacy.

The Law of Cat states that if you buy this, they will ignore it. Go with a box. It's cheaper.

A Tech! Tower
A Kids! Tower


I see what you did there!

The law of cat also states that if you buy it for someone else your kitty will claim it and love it. Our kitties love my daughters tunnel and tent

I actually got the house at Walgreens onsale for $10. (ok,not sure of the exact brand that I bought so may not have been same exact brand, but sure looks the same).

I set it out for my daughter's birthday party with a bunch of markers and it was a HIT!!! The kids loved it. My daughter loved it and played with it for a long time.

I don't know if I will purchase for $24, but if I find it onsale again for cheaper I will def be buying again.

Will they ship to APO/FPO addresses?

We had a version of the rocket ship last year (around the same price, from Kohl's). At the time, my boys were 3 and 5 1/2. They LOVED it and I think it lasted 2-3 months before it just wouldn't stand up anymore.

Thank you for these links! These links show photos with children standing next to these so it gives a better idea of how large these really are. I was worried that my very big 2 year old wouldn't fit inside but it looks like that shouldn't be a problem. Now I'm just trying to figure if these would fit in our living room.

Does anyone know if these easily fold down? Could they be played with for the afternoon & then put away for another day? Or would trying to fold them down be a pain in the butt?

I got something similar to these for my sister's kid for xmas two years ago.
A castle sans roof.
My niece still plays with it.
If you do get this be sure to get a box of crayons or markers to color it.

CVS all day $19.99

For $30 shipped I would expect 2. I think I'll wait and look for a Black Friday deal.

I can't get pas the fact that it sort of resembles the Yearning For Zion ranch/compound in Texas...

I'll have to send my kid over there with some markers, he could go to town on that thing!

what does the shipping cost?

Omens, Monsters, and Goblins!!!!! Did any of you read the stupid story on the side??? I sent my sister a link to this because she use to have one and her kids LOVED it (it lasted about a year before the tore it up) and she wanted a new one. She got really offended because she's a banker and the story basically called bankers bad parents. Where's the Horror????

Shipping is always $5 on woot sites. Subsequent purchases are included in that initial $5.

So they're going to ship me a box full of....box? *blink*

I'm a nanny and I've done these type of things with three different families. It's always a HUGE hit, and they last for months with proper care!

Well I just happen to have a birthday coming up for a couple of four year olds and was wondering what I was going to do with a half dozen of them. I'm in for a castle.

Just unboxed my shuttle. No instructions, just a lot of cardboard! This will be interesting. lol
