Get the coolest pencil sharpener ever, the Robot Pencil Sharpener! This is perhaps the coolest pencil sharpener ever to walk on its own. Just open its chest, insert a pencil, twist to sharpen, and remove your pointy pencil. By sharpening your pencil, you have secretly wound the 4" robot's power core and it will now begin walking around. The shavings empty into the robot's cranial chamber, which can be easily opened for emptying. If you don't have a pencil handy, just use the included key to wind up the robot.

Stop in and pick up Vertibot Robot EXplorer (REX). REX is a futuristic looking robot that is especially cool because he scoffs at the forces of gravity! By using suction cups on his feet, REX is able to climb up, down, around and even up-side down on any smooth surface, such as windows, mirrors, whiteboards and even metal filing cabinets. REX comes in three cool colors to choose from: black, magnesium blue or graphite grey. Pick one or get all three and start forming your own mini robot army!
