Snapchat launched Snapchat Spectacles — or video glasses — in the fall, but until today, you could only buy them from bright yellow vending machines called "Snapbots" that would pop up in a city for one day only.

Now, if you live in the U.S., you can buy a pair of black, teal or coral sunglasses with a built-in camera on Spectacles.com for $129, but only six Spectacles purchases are allowed per household when you buy online.

The glasses feature a button to snap photos that you can wirelessly add to your Snapchat app.

And when you pay the $129, you’ll also get a charging case and cable.

The product, according to the website, is marketed to "make memories from your perspective."

According to The Verge, the company says the traveling vending machines called "Snapbots" are on hold, but they'll still show up in "surprising" locations in the future.
