I can't help it, I like odd toys and I spend a fair amount of time roaming the net looking for them and I find some interesting stuff.

The big floating ball

Not really all that new, but I've always liked the big gerbil ball concept.

The monocycle, or monowheel

Also an old concept, and also a concept I've always loved, but there aren't a lot of production models of this sort of vehicle.

Poweriser

Like drywall stilts on methamphetamines. Dear god, the potential for injury is astounding. I want a pair.

Skimbat kitewing

Almost, but not quite a hang-glider.

I'd like some live hand granades. I know they're not toys, but damn, I'd have a blast.

They seem like toys to me.

I forgot this which is silly, because I want this more than any other toy. Also not a new thing, but I love kayaking.

Cool shit is always way too expensive. I don't make cool money.

While I wouldn't call any of those 'cheap' they aren't hugely expensive either, the monowheel being the priciest at $4700. Didn't you just get a new job anyways?

I've seen both of those, and while the bushpig certainly looks interesting from a standpoint of being something new, it's not overwhelmingly attractive to me.

The motorized inline skate idea I just don't like at all, I prefer my inline skates to not be accompanied by the wonderful sound of a chainsaw motor.

The hand grenades should drown out the sound of the motor.

I'd rather not chance it, nothing should interfere with the joy of explosions.
