    First Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 Character Revealed!




    "Your feeble skills are no match for the Dark Side!”


    Treacherous, sinister and devoid of compassion, iron fisted ruler of the Galactic Empire and all around bad guy, as NOTCOT first reported, our first Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 character is none other than the lightning-flinging Emperor himself, Darth Sidious!


    Coming July 23rd you can help spread the Dark Side’s influence with your very own Darth Sidious Star Wars MIMOBOT designer USB flash drive. Use him to store all of your top secret space-station/super weapon plans… just be sure to keep it away from the Alliance!


    One character has been revealed, unmasked, exposed if you will… but there are still three more characters whose identities yet remain shrouded in mystery! Three more characters and three more chances for all of you to score yourself a sweet new Star Wars MIMOBOT! So what are you waiting for? Get over to the forums and post your guess for the next character!

    New Star Wars MIMOBOT Series coming for SDCC! Win one!

    Star Wars fans be prepared, because we're about to channel a bit of the force your way! Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 is almost here, and to celebrate we're giving a few of the more resourceful young Padawans out there a chance to be the first to take home our brand new Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 flash drives through the Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 Guessing Game!

    Which characters are in Series 3 you ask?

    Good question, to which we say, why don't you tell us?

    Each week between now and July 23rd we'll officially reveal the next character in the Star Wars MIMOBOT lineup through our e-newsletter. To enter the contest just make a post in our forums including your guess as to which Star Wars character will be revealed before the news breaks. Everyone who guesses correctly will be entered into a drawing, and we'll draw five winners who get a sweet 2GB MIMOBOT of that design. Not too shabby! What's more, if you're insightful enough into the dark and misty ways of Star Wars MIMOBOT mysticism, and are able to correctly guess all four characters in the order they're revealed, you'll get yourself a full set of 2GB Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 characters!

    Of course, you only get one guess per week, so you might want to meditate on it for a minute (I know a peaceful little swamp on Dagobah that's perfect). If the Force isn't proving to be much of a guide, maybe you should check out our past characters from Series 1 and Series 2 to help you think things through.

    The contest has already begun so be you a Jedi, a Sith or even a lowly Nerfherder, get over to the forums and post your guess now!

    Official Rules
    1) You must be a member of our forums to participate.
    2) Only one guess per week per person is allowed. A guess may only be in reference to one character. If more than one character is guessed in the post, only the first character will count.
    3) Posting multiple guesses will result in disqualification.
    4) Any editing of posts will automatically disqualify the post.
    5) Employees of Mimoco and our media partners and their families are ineligible to participate.
    6) Guesses for a given round will only be accepted from Wednesday 12:01 AM EST through Tuesday 11:59 PM EST. Each weekly round requires a guess during that round to be eligible to win that week's revealed character.
    Round 1: Jun 25 - July 1
    Round 2: July 2 - 8
    Round 3: July 9 - 15
    Round 4: July 16 - 22
    7) Weekly winners are eligible to re-enter the following week
    8) Up to five Grand Prizes (the full set of characters) will be given away; if more than five entrants guess all four characters in the correct order of revelation, five winners will be randomly selected

    Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 3 will be released at San Diego Comic Con on July 23 and will be available at the MIMOBOT lab at the same time.

    Father's Day MIMOstraveganza!!!

    Ah, Father’s Day; a day where dads all across America get to kick back, put their feet up and soak in some much-deserved filial piety (or if you’re anything like my dad: extort a day’s worth of manual labor out of your children…) It’s a day to show the big man some love, be he on the other side of the country or just down the hall from you. So now, it’s time to give your dad a special gift, but what? Tie? Sucks! Razor? Old fashioned! This year, how about giving your dad a MIMOBOT flash drive with special Mimory personalized just for him!!!

    In honor of our beloved patriarchs, Mimoco is giving you the chance to personalize the preloaded Mimory content on any MIMOBOT purchase! You've got an E-card to play with, and 10MB worth of space to have special pictures, videos or any other files uploaded on your old man's MIMO.

    So here's how it works: first, go to the MIMOBOT Lab and purchase whatever MIMOBOT flash drive fits your pops the best. Next, WITHIN SIX HOURS (sorry for shouting, but it's very important!), send an email to fathersday@mimoco.com with the words Father's Day Mimory and your order number in the subject line. In the body of the email, let us know what you want the e-card to say, and attach any rich media files (photos, videos, songs, whatever) you want. The good people... well, the people... at Mimoco will then load up your special digital gift on the chosen MIMOBOT and send it to good ol' daddy dearest.



    PLEASE NOTE Mimoco will not open any files sent for the purposes of the Father's Day MIMOstraveganza. All files will be deleted immediately after loading on the appropriate MIMOBOT flash drive. By sending any rich media files, you are acknowledging that you have permission to reproduce/distribute the files. Mimoco is not responsible for the content provided by customers for the purpose of Father's Day MIMOstraveganza. Please keep it tasteful - do not send pornography, illegal materials, or any data that would be considered in extremely bad taste.

    In order to guarantee delivery by Father's Day to the continental United States, your order must be placed by Thursday June 5th (UPS Ground), or Wednesday June 11th (UPS Next Day Air). Check UPS.com for more specific shipping estimates, as UPS Ground has different shipping times to different parts of the US.

    Whew, that's lots of terms and conditions and the such! Bottom line folks, send the man who brought you into this world (and could quite possibly take you back out of it) an awesome, useful MIMOBOT flash drive, with a personal written message from you, and anything you want loaded on - pictures from your childhood, a video message, or the newest song you've written just for Dad. We promise, this will be a Father's Day your father remembers at least for the duration of the day.

    Lord Vader Has Left the Death Star... er, Building

    Wow, folks, that didn't take long! As you may know, we re-released 31 Darth Vader MIMOBOT flash drives in 8GB capacity this morning, kicking off our 8GB line and celebrating the 31st anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope releasing in theaters. Well, y'all must have loved 'em, because they're sold out already! Thanks so much for the support and helping us celebrate this (Sunday's) monumental moment in cinema history, and sorry if you missed out. Fortunately, Boba Fett, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker are still available, and now in 8GB so you can transport the battle plans of half a dozen battle stations in style! Pick one up today, before they go the way of everyone's favorite Dark Lord of the Sith!




    Darth Vader is BACK Suckas!!! But only 31 of him, in 8GB!

    You hear that? The deep, raspy, rhythmic breathing? Oh God, he's back, the Dark Lord of the Sith!

    That's right, Darth Vader, the first Star Wars MIMOBOT ever announced (and the first one to sell out) is back, and bigger and nastier than ever! In conjunction with our launch of the 8GB MIMOBOT capacity, and in (a few days early) celebration of the 31st anniversary (releaseaversary?) of the release of Star Wars: A New Hope, we've brought back 31 Darth Vader MIMOBOT drives in 8GB capacity!


    Not only is this your last chance to get your hands on a Vader, it's your ONLY chance to get an 8GB Vader - these 31 are the only in existence!


    So what are you waiting for??? You don't care about this gobbledygook being written, you want a Darth... no, you NEED a Darth! So head over to the lab and PICK ONE UP TODAY! Hurry up, before everyone's favorite deep-fried Force-wielding giant is lost to hyperspace for good!




    8GB MIMOBOT Drives Available!

    They're bigger... they're badder... they Came From Planet Blooh! It's the monstrous 8GB MIMOBOT® flash drives, and they're coming to consume a datum near you! Beware, friends, as these over-enhanced denizens of silicone nature can devour nearly twenty thousand photos, two thousand songs, or twenty-five hundred minutes of video! Aaaaaaahhhhh! That's a lot...


    The 8GB beasts are cleverly disguised as every MIMOBOT design currently available, and have been spotted hiding out in our lab. Head over today and pick one up; perhaps you can keep one (or two... or six...) captured and away from an unsuspecting public, feeding it a steady diet of your own data to ensure its ravenous hunger doesn't explode into a rampage of frenzied feeding.

    MIMOBOT Graduation Sale!

    Hey all, it's that time of year again, where young men and women across the country stride confidently across a stage to a lot of pomp (and circumstance... rimshot please), receive a piece of paper with their name on it, and head out into the world to make their mark on the economy! Or, if they're like me, they move back into their parents' house and play video games until the student loans come due, but whatever floats your boat.

    Of course, I'm talking about... graduation. And in honor of this auspicious occasion (yes, I know what 'auspicious' means), we at Mimoco are putting a selection of MIMOBOT Flash Drives on sale. Pick up any of our special sale characters for 25% off! Characters include some of our popular Halo Series MIMOBOT drives, Core Series 2, Artist Series and Happy Tree Friends! Add 'em to your cart, and see the savings.

    Beyond that, if you buy $100 or more worth of products, you'll be emailed a $10 gift certificate, plus another $10 for each $50 you spend beyond that (spend $150, get $20; spend $200, get $30; etc.).

    We're running this sale for four weeks, so 5/6-6/3. Get to the lab, order some MIMOBOT drives for your favorite graduate (or for yourself, we promise we won't tell), and enjoy the Grad Sale!

    Happy Graduation, and congratulations to all who have completed the arduous task of high school, college, grad school, vocational tech school, flight school, police academy 3, and training on the fryer!
