Title: Must have, can't find :( Has anyone seen this shark!
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on February 06, 2013, 05:24:02 AM

I found this very cool shark which I must have lol. But the only website I can find selling it, is not selling it :(

http://www.hammacher.com/product/72824

Does anyone know where I can buy this or something similar?

Tried Google, Amazon and eBay in the UK, but nothing here either .......... though I did find this cutie: ;)

I'll keep an eye out - still discontinued but looks similar but under another name:

If you do locate one and have shipping problems to Oz, let me know. :)

"The shark can swim up to 40' from its handheld remote unit which is also submersible, allowing you to swim with your shark."

 :o
I must also have this, no luck yet, I'll keep looking around.

Hours of searching at this end yielded no results :( Plenty of places 'selling' them, but when you get to the site they are discontinued or sold out. Even the makers website is no help.

That one is cool, but a bit over the top for a toy ;)

I also looked but can't find it anywhere, looks like an awesome shark though!

RWM just showed that video to my son, had him fooled it was a real shark lol, far to realistic for my liking!
