These are SHINY and CHROME! Okay, maybe not chrome, but they are definitely shiny by any standards. Alas, neither are they sonic. But these are pretty tempting.
Saving up my points for the theremin choir, though. ;)

I would say the answer to your question is "yes". Behavioral conditioning - poke the dog with the tools every time it doesn't ignore your son.

@LatitudeB - A worthy goal! Let us know when you are on the circuit (no pun intended). Or combine with the Brick Banks and get Brick Battle Bots?
OR...the minifigs could operate mechs. AADL Pacific Rim! Summer Game Voltron!
There is too much good stuff
There is too much good stuff this year. I can't decide. I've been obsessively checking the summer game shop to see if the things I'm considering still have enough left. Look at all the stress the summer game causes!
@SBNb, I'm doing the same
@SBNb, I'm doing the same thing. There are things I want but I don't know if there are going to be any bundles, so I'm waiting to buy but constantly checking to make sure nothing I want gets sold out. I wasn't expecting the tools, now I'm so excited to see what comes out next!
Only 50 left, wow!

COINCIDENCE? probably
[I will keep you updated on the Fighting Robot plan. I have 1 (one) Raspberry Pi, so I'm already on the right path. Probably they will not be operated by minifigs, though. Just remote controlled.]

@LatitudeB Oh, that is a shame! Maybe there will be some in a bundle. I only ordered 1 set, otherwise I'd offer a trade.
Let us know when you do complete your remote-controlled Terminators, because who isn't always up for a Robot Rumble?
(If you're using Raspberry Pi, are you going to name one Raspberry Die?)

Cool. It's useful for tightening glasses or opening watches to change the battery.

Just picked mine up today. It's a very cute little bundle. I just have to make sure everyone knows these are MOMMY's tools. No more searching the house for a screwdriver for me!

This year you have to snap up items quickly- no considering what you want- or they are sold out. Guess that means they are great prizes!
