THANKS, ALMOST SAME PRICE FOR ME

AND WHILE I'M SURE I'M TOO BIG FOR IT....20 DOLLARS IS TOO CHEAP FOR SOMETHING W/BUILT IN HEADPHONES. I'M GOING TO HOOK MY ZUNE UP TO IT!

Went ahead and ordered one. Does anyone have experience with this chair vs. the V Rocker Extreme (also $20)? The specs don't seem to match up and I'm trying to see which one is 'bigger'

It's not small, AND it's pretty sturdy. I'm 6-1 and 215 lbs. and it's held up fine for the last 18 months or so. I like mine so much I just ordered another one for my kid to replace the cheap one we have. Been looking forever for another in the stores but couldn't find any.

Thanks for the post Mitch!

The Rocker Extreme is smaller in width and not as padded as this chair. It's vinyl, so it's slippery too, but it is spill resistant. The pseudo-suede covering and extra padding on the Blast Pod makes it much more comfortable, IMO. I tested all of Target's chairs almost 2 years ago before settling on this one.

Thanks! Very reassuring as my only experience with one of these types of chairs was I believe the V Rocker. Skinny like you said and it actually tipped over backwards while I was sitting in it. :-(

Thanks, OP! penny shipping is great, $19.08 shipped with 10% off code. I love how they're integrated with Amazon: just sign in with your Amazon account and everything is ready to go.

I would have rather had the black version that's sold out, but red is infinitely better than pink.

FYI: The V-rocker extreme has a built-in sub-woofer, but sitting on vinyl is the (sweaty) pits in the summertime.

Thanks OP, been looking for a decent cheap game rocker/chair. $19.08 shipped is a hell of a deal.

eugaet
03-09-2008, 04:01 PM
To answer my earlier question, the only difference between the red and pink chairs is the color. While Target may refer to one as an 'audio' chair and the other a 'video game' chair, the manufacturer calls them both 'video' chairs...same specs, different colors.

Ordered 2 reds for $39 shipped. Thanks OP.

This is good to hear...I'm about an inch taller and five pounds heavier, so I feel pretty confident in ordering. $19.44 shipped, so thanks go to you, the OP, and the coupon poster :)

I don't even know how they managed to do that, FedEx and UPS gave me shipping quotes starting at 15-50 bucks.
Thanks for the post, my boy's been wanting one of these, and I was not going to pay the 80+ sticker prices.
19.21 after tax and coupon, plus 4% cash back from a certain other site (not that one, the one that doesn't have a bunch of hoarders on it.)

According to the website, mine had been in being prepared to ship status since the 10th. E-mailed them last night to see what was going on and received this response:

I sincerely apologize for the delay in the shipment of your order.

I've looked into your order and found that currently your order is in shipping process.

When you first placed your order, we expected that it may take more time than usual to ship it. However, we have obtained this item from our supplier and placed your order in the shipping process.

Please note we were able to place your order in the shipping process much before the estimated ship date. At this time, we cannot assure you a specific delivery date as your item has not left our fulfillment center yet. Once your item leaves the fulfillment center you will receive a shipment confirmation message.

Some items take a little longer to get ready for shipping depending on where we stock them and if they need special packaging. We're still doing everything we can to get your order out as soon as possible.

Please note that the estimated dates are only stand-in dates. Most of our packages are delivered much earlier than the estimated delivery date. We expect your order to be delivered sooner.

However if you don't get a shipping confirmation e-mail from us by March 14, 2008, please write back to us so we can double check your order.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience in this regard.

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

So I wasn't exactly thrilled with this but said I will give them a chance to rectify it. But the kicker is there was a UPS tag on the door when I got home this evening and the chair was sitting on my front porch. Status on the website still shows as being prepared to ship. Nice one Target.

Just received the chairs today. These things are great!...especially at the price!

I had originally ordered 2 reds so the kids wouldn't fight about different colors...and they swapped one of my reds for a black. So arguing over colors began as soon as I opened the second box. Oh well.

Best purchase ever. Thanks OP.

Just got mine yesterday (along with an obscenely large box just for one HD DVD; gee, thanks Warner Home Video...). It's got a good heft to it to keep it from sliding along the floor and it feels comfortable. I wish that the back stoppers would actually work so that I could recline without falling backwards. Haven't tried the speakers, and I don't really think I'll ever bother, since it requires me to plug into an outlet.

eugaet
03-15-2008, 11:33 PM
I wish that the back stoppers would actually work so that I could recline without falling backwards.Yeah, the back stoppers are kind of useless. I've found I have to stretch my legs out in front of me or cross them off the front of the chair for a counterweight. If I set my feet on the floor close to the front of the chair or even think about placing my legs on the chair (like the boy on the box it came in), I'll tip the fuck over.

Does it have a UPS tracking number in the email? See if it says delivered on 3/13 or not and you'll have your answer :)

Yeah, I emailed them last Thursday as it was still saying it was in the process of being shipped, they said there was a delay, yet it showed up Friday via UPS. It just changed on their website saying it has been shipped today, no tracking info yet. When you think of all the business I brought them, I deserve a second :P

mitch079
03-19-2008, 01:52 PM
ihavenolife123 - Keep an eye on it as shipping had increased last week but then dropped down to a penny on 3/14 so maybe it's an unadvertised weekend deal.

Veronica Mars - the tracking number I got on this order isn't showing up in UPS's system so I have no idea if they did ship me another chair or not at this point.
