Aqua Drop - Import Preorder

Back in the day, toy stores sold self-contained handheld maze games where a metal ball was moved from point A to point B. The toys were cheap, easy to break, and good enough to keep the attention of the kids while mom did the laundry or burned the roast.

Bandai's aqua drop follows the gist of those old handheld games but instead of relying on a metal sphere, drops of water are used and maneuvered through a maze. The maze inside the aqua drop is made of a specially treated surface which causes water to bead and roll like a ball instead of dispersing into a mini puddle. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2008 at US$18.00 from NCS.
