Robo-thingys - HELP!

From South West UK, 2002 posts

Which is best for an eight year old boy, Roboraptor or Roboreptile? We are thinking reptile at the moment, as I think it a newer model?

I know very little about them so hoping one of you big boys can help me out please?! Preferably ASAP as my son wants one for Christmas.



Thanks.

I think either would be great. Just see which one he prefers

That's the problem. He doesn't know, either! Raptor LOOKS better but reptile may do a bit more as it's a newer model?

If it was me I would go for the new Robosapien. He looks cool. But my son would rather have Raptor or Reptile! We are still thinking reptile would be better. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is please?!

Oh sorry, just read again, i suppose it would have to be the Reptile then, i suppose he is only 8 lol. And the point where, it does more stuff. So that one if he don't like Robosapien!!!!!

If anyone else is looking into buying this, buy a charger and rechargeable batteries!



It takes NINE AA batteries! six in the reptile, three in the remote control.

how did i miss this thread!?! oh, well.



i don't quite et how the thing could take 9 AA's. how is the battery life then?

Depends what rechargeable batteries you get, they come in different strengths these days we have the cheaper ones which are the weaker, only charged the 6 reptile one's once so far but he's not being played with as much as he could be!
