ZipLinx, sort of like dominos, if they could fly in the air!

From the company: Load ‘em! Link ‘em! Launch ‘em! Create high-flying, chain-reaction fun with new ZipLinx from Blip Toys! Blip Toys will be launching two Zip Linx sets: ZipLinx Triple Tower Blast and Zip Linx Hi-Fly Set. Both sets deliver a different eye-popping payoff to the classic domino run--launching pieces up to three-feet high into the air! The magic of the ZipLinx system is the ease of set up AND no accidental starts of your run. Your design won’t “pop” until you lay in the special Linx Launcher Key. Each uniquely designed 3.3” x-shaped, interlocking ZipLinx piece lets you create an unlimited number of designs.

From The Giz Wiz: Chad & I both liked these kits. They should provide a lot of family fun. And the starter set at about $20 seems very reasonable.

Chad's Crappy Corner & His July 'Cheap' Theme!

Chad's cheap them for July as picked by our loyal Patreons is "Gadgets Under $20".

Chad's final under $20 gadget is the Urban Shop 3D Print Color Changing Moon Lamp with Wood Stand, remote control.

From Walmart: Set the tone in any room in your home with this Urban Shop LED Color Changing White Moon Lamp. Pick the color that best fits your mood. This moon lamp includes a remote control, so you can choose the perfect setting. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). The dimensions of this moonlight are 5.5'' inches which is perfect for any table or night stand. This Urban Shop White Moon Lamp sits on a sturdy wooden frame to hold your lamp in place. Can also be used as a night light. Walmart, about $15.00

And Chad's take: At 1^st Chad like the uneven surface of the globe because it looked a bit more realistic. He wasn't thrilled with the brightness and then really bummed out when the USB power inlet fell inside the globe making it impossible to plug in the power. He switched to battery power & you'll see the results on this week's show. I found a very similar unit on Amazon that is said to have a rechargeable battery for a couple of bucks more.

************************************

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.
-
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
-
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.
-
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
-
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you'll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
