And another thing: they are WAY more comfortable to ride than Heelys (I own both) and faster (I raced a Heelys-owner :D) Actually, they’re not called “Rollies” but rather “PLIWS” (pronounced “pleeves”, allegedly derived from “play with wheels”).

Now I can simply roll people out of my way when visiting the local Walmart on the weekend instead of having to shove my way through mountains of people!

Are they joking? I was in Shanghai back in November and street vendors were selling them for 80 Yuan, approximately $12. One of my friends was able to haggle it down to 20 Yuan, under $3. He got a bunch of them for his nieces and nephews. $70 for a pair? Are they joking? I was in Shanghai back in November and street vendors were selling them for 80 Yuan, approximately $12.
