Where can I buy an Anki Vector Robot and not pay £200+

Posted 11th Aug 2020
As the title says, I’m going to assume this is a big ask as they‘ve stopped making them. Prices on eBay and gumtree are ridiculous but no harm in asking haha! Cheers

    Hello.

    I am also in the market for 1 as my nephew had broken his and this was the only thing he loves due to his disability.
    I have found some on facebook market place. but they are anything from £170+ and i may need to bite at this price.

    The currys website do not show any stock in the UK

    There shows there is 2 in johnlewis stores (collection only). I have already emailed Johnlewis asking if the store have them and what the possibility of posting them (to me or my local JL store) as the stores are 200-400miles away from me that show stock.

    There is also a rummer that digitaldreamlabs (digitaldreamlabs.com (the company that bought vector)) might be planning on re-released Verctor as they have a bit on there website asking to be notified when they are for sale (this was updated on/around 14th Aug). This could just be to see how many people are interested in him to see if it is worth it. finger crossed they are going to re-release him. if they do I am not sure what would happen to the original vector if it would become a collectors item so the price will go up or then be out dated meaning the price for the original would come down.

    This is what the form looks like (direct link to this form (bottom of the page) digitaldreamlabs.com/pag…tor)

    there seems to be alot of issues around this guy.
    DDL (company that owns vector) are not happy as it had vector in the video for this guy.
    it may use some of vectors software and has the same eye as vector and some of the thing it does look very similor to vector.
    in the video it is not even the real thing it is CGI of emo. (edited)

    Yep absolutely (even though it’s not the Cosmo version) but cannot buy it as no delivery option and click and collect has no results for any postcode/selecting check further away. Any help would be awesome (edited)

    DDL have came out saying they are going to make vector 2.0 and Cozom 2.0
    What i have read. better battery, easy access to change battery , better camra and better heat managment for his head/screen

    They're rubbish, I got one as a present for my daughter. Camera is useless, only works with a phone, alexa is pointless, doesn't actually 'do' anything despite what the fun adverts make out. Swapped for a dash and dot programmable robot and its much more fun
