Wow! It’s Almost Time For Giz Wiz Show #2000!!!
The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006! If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we have zero ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page. There’s a PayPal link there too. Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.
We Start The Show With Gadgets & Toys From The Sweet Suite Press Event
Robots? Wait until you see these!!! I have no trouble believing the Robosen Megatron took over 3 years of extensive R&D. He’s knock-out amazing. Here’s some shortened info from the company: Immerse yourself in the inspiring experience of witnessing Megatron convert from Tank to Robot and back. It takes 36 servo motors to perform his magic and 112 ultra-bright LED lights to illuminate Megatron with stunning blue and violet accents. Inspired by real life tank tracks and axle structures, Robosen’s Megatron delivers exceptional climbing performance, off-road abilities, and pivot turns in Tank mode. Robosen’s Flagship Megatron Limited Edition is only available in 2024. and is available on pre-order. It should arrive in September 2024. Price is $1199.00. Other robots range from $699.00 to $1699.00.

Let’s Get Truckin’
Meet The Maxx Action 3-N-1 Mega Crane.
I love this new toy! It’s the Maxx Action 3-N-1 Crane Truck! With an impressive extending crane that reaches heights of 30 inches, this action packed construction truck has three joystick controllers to lift, move and even faux-smash things but adding the included wrecking ball. There’s also a scoop and hook in the kit. To move the truck just press the forward or reverse button. But wait, there’s more! This truck is equipped with flashing lights and realistic sounds to make kids feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. I thought the price was quite reasonable too, $39.99. It seems to be $49.99 on Amazon, but it’s $39.99 at Target. . .

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad’s New July Cheap Gadget Theme, voted on and picked by our loyal Patreon members “Gadgets For The Outdoors & Backyard Fun”.
On this show Chad demos The Bubble Torch. This is said to be an automatic (battery operated) Bubble Machine producing 20000+ Bubbles. It has an adjustable height up to 47”, but it’s adjusted by using 1, 2, or 3 of the included plastic poles. It has light and music too. Now, what did Chad like about this? Well, pretty much nothing. The music is a single tune that plays over and over and — The lights are a couple of red and blue LED’s. It does not come with any bubble soap. And Chad paid about $26 for it! However I put an Amazon link to one that shows the exact same box as the one Chad bought and it was like $10 less. But even though it’s cheaper remember it’s not big on having fun for long.
