WowWee’s Tri-Bot is still listed at eToys for official US release on August 21st, but a sharp-eyed visitor to a Radio Shack near San Francisco spotted the robot on the shelves.

Either Radio Shack got a secured a pre-launch window to sell the Tri-bot, or this store is shooting their wad early. Could also be that the robot is playing games with us.
