From South West UK, 2002 posts

Please help someone! Anyone!



My son wants either a Roboraptor or Roboreptile for Christmas and I have no idea which would be the best one to buy. If you do then please let me know urgently which one is best for an eight year old!



Thanks in anticipation!

I remember being 8- best present I could have had was the GIANT cardboard box our new fridge freezer came in... it was a plane, a house, a spaceship.... Buy yourself a major household appliance and let the kiddie have the box!

Don't think that would work somehow! He really has his heart set on one of these robotic reptile things!

Now we just found Tesco do Robotyrannus, not sure if by the same makers though.

Oh the confusion!

those things are pieces of junk. he won't be able to control it very well. the commercials make them seem better than they really are.



ask him what he wants more, a robo*insert noun here*, or an airsoft gun. i know when i was that age, i loved guns!

Where would he shoot a gun?

Kids around here don't go for guns, I'm sure he would love one, but the neighbours would not take too kindly!

He really wants a robot thing! He already asked Santa, so now he will expect Santa to bring him one! If he brought him a gun instead he may shoot Santa for letting him down!



These roboreptile thingys ain't cheap either, and they eat batteries so will need a charger too. Getting on for a hundred pounds! Just ONE toy!

tell your boy your X-mas shopping budget limit, but tell him that it is the limit for each kid. use the excuse that Santa only has room in his slay for so many toys. be sure to cover your bases and tell him not to pass the word on, because you technically aren't supposed to tell him this, but Santa doesn't mind him, and only him, knowingsantas organization patterns.



yes i am brilliant!

He will get his robot reptile thing, The other kids are grown up now, my eldest is 24! Now he would love a gun but that would make him dangerous! Especially when on the old vino!

My eight year old is the baby so we all spoil him just a little!

Have you tried these robo robotic things e4? There is a Robosapian out now that looks like he could do the housework next! Oh sweet dreams!

if you're going to spoil him, then buy him a PS3. not a wii or X-box 360, the PS3 is the way to go! if only they wern't $600, or £425. for but they won't come to the UK untill march 2007, so i suppose next year for the little n00b pwnr.
