Wish I can purchase in app for pickup or delivery. I hate these Brickseek deals. 95% of the time the item is not in stock even though BS says there are 6+.

So I bought 2 of these back in January for $9.88 each. I was wondering when they would drop off in price.

Went to two Walmarts in Federal Way, WA with both 6+ in stock but couldn't find them at all. :/
I wish some of these WM deals would give a general direction of where they found the said item. Do i look for them in the Clearance section, electronics, sporting section, kids toys, automotive, seasonal?

I bought a pack of two of these on Amazon and they're exactly what I needed. Fun for the family while camping, good to communicate decent distances where phone service isn't available. The kids enjoy them.

I have these. The mic lag is terrible. Kids definitely don't understand how to use them and adults get annoyed with them.

I looked at the electronics and it wasn't there. Asked an employee and pointed me to their "electronics clearance" and wasn't found. Went to the clearance area and wasn't found. Asked another younger employee and he pretty much chalked it up to if any item is less than 10 its pretty much wiped, missing, or void. Helpful...

Quote from chumpsky2010 :
OK, what are these good for? In case of emergency I'm guessing where communication is knocked out?

(Asking from a city guy perspective)
If you're thinking 'emergency contact to authorities' then probably not. There does not appear to be any real coordinated plan for authorities to monitor any FRS/GSM channels from what I can see. OTOH, some places (e.g. Disney World, perhaps some state/national parks) do appear to actively monitor various channels for emergency but you'll have to check with staff as you enter the parks and ask which channel they monitor.

You're not going to push the button and say 'breaker 09 for smokey bear' on these and get a response. If you already know that your local authorities monitor one of these channels it could, perhaps, be used for emergency communication, but at the range these radios are useful, even that's unlikely for most folk.

Brickseek lies to me again. 6+ inventory is really just 0 at the store. *sigh* the life of a slick dealer.

I tried this on a cruise with a few kids ( pre-pandemic of course). Did not work on the ship, I guess radio waves don't travel well when you're inside walls of metal
