I'm a little interested in bot shots, but I think I'll be waiting till they're on clearance, they dont look worth any more than $10 worth for a launcher and a couple $ for a single.

I thought that too, but ended up caving and getting some.
They are cute. And fun. I like that they are pocket sized, so I like to have one in my pocket occasionally. And I think the gimmick is rather cleverly designed.
