I recently bought a Roboreptile at Toys R Us.  It was in a white box.  It contained 1 big RoboReptile.  Just last night I was in BJs and they have a RoboReptile pack which includes a big RoboReptile and a Mini RoboReptile.  The funny thing is that the one in BJs is less money.  Is the big RoboReptile in each package the same?  Or is the BJs one a smaller version?

Thanks

I believe that they are indeed the exact same thing. It just happens to be that some of the retail chains out there that sell WowWee products such as the Roboreptile decide weither or not to order the combo package (as the one you saw of BJs) or the single package (as the one that you bought at Toys R' Us). I hope this helps! Shane

I've seen that too- Target for a while had a full size RSV1 with a mini RSV1 cohabitating, for the same price as just a lonely RSV1 elsewhere.

Actually Target had them for ten bucks cheaper than the lonely RSV1 :) That's what wifey's getting for christmas.

Want a great deal on RoboReptile?  Forget Toys R Us.  Save $20 at BJs AND on top of that you will get the one with a full size reptile and the mini!!!!  Fantastic deal it seems.

I know not of this BJs of which you speak (SoCal here). However, as the parent of a five year old, I try to avoid Toys R Us as much as humanly possible :)

Oh, I just realized BJs is only on the eastern coast.  Bummer.

I know not of this SoCal of which you speak (Australia here). I recall when I was a small child, the nearest supermarket had a Toy Kingdom next door to it. Funnily enough, we hardly ever went to the nearest supermarket.

I know not of this supermarket of which... Oh, this could get out of hand fast :)

It is quite amusing to me now, as an adult, thinking back on why my parents never took my me and my brother to certain shopping centers. I actually go out of my way to keep my son from seeing WalMart and ToysRUs. Fortunately for me he has almost the same infatuation with Guitar Center and Best Buy (which annoys the heck out of his mom hehe)

I got one of those packs with a big one and a mini. the big one is exactly the same as the ones that come without a mini, and mine also cost less than a single packedged 1.

There is something like this around here. It is called Sams Club. In there, you can get the big and small dude for a good price of 35 dollars sometimes. Thats where I got my big and little gold one a year ago. It broke though so I bought a green one.
