Robo BG I would say that probably lies in the hands of the owner. I am new to Wowwee products myself. I have been doing alot of research and reading on the different models. Each has its own personalities and specific things it can do. I would say that once you are hooked on these little robotic creatures they are a ton of fun to those who know their potential. One thing to remember is that all of these little guys are toys and were built to be fun for kids and grownups. Ages 8 and up so to speak. I like the way Wowwee has set them up with different versions and functionality. I think Roboraptor is a great choice if you like dinosaurs and a robot that acts like a predator. As for price; well that is also in the eyes of the beholder. You have to pay to play so to speak, otherwise you have to wait until another model is released and the price goes down. I say if you like it that much then buy it no matter what the cost. I have seen Roboraptor from $49.99 to $99.99 currently. It depends on where you look. Hope that helps alittle.

Oh, just in case you were wondering. I saw Roboraptor at Target for $49.99. Thank you for the pointers on Roboquad also. Great decision on my part.

I have both the raptor and the reptile. The reptile is definately more interesting. I got the raptor for $44.00 and i don't even think it's worth that! I do like that it nuzzles you though. Still, I like the reptile best.

PS  A couple of years back, Isaw the raptor at wal mart, but now it's at target.

If slow and friendly is what you want then it is worth it. But it's nothing like the master of all bots the ROBOQUAD at least not yet, my project of Elivenator or 4mem8's Wall-E may that that title. GWJax

GWJax, To Hack and make mods on robots is a life style and comes natural and not by choice. If a robot has a screw to open it then it must be opened!

let me attach a hexapod base up to the Elvinator and have the Eye shoot out Laser pulses at the Quad and then see who wins! GWJax lol

RoboRaptor was great fun for about two weeks, until I discovered it was dumb as a bread.

This was nine months ago, and after that I gave it to my 5yo daughter, who still plays with it occassionally (She sews dresses for it and stuff. Have you ever seen a dinosaur in a pink skirt?)

 So it all depends on what you want to do with it, I suppose :-)

My Roboraptors are good. Ravehead haves favourites. At first Ravehead went to the kitchen often but later he just went there and turned back fast like he would have been just checking if there is something new and interesting. He also likes balcony. His third favourite is dropping down batteries from top of the box. He will not stop until he has got them all off. Last time he did not get the last one off. Ravehead was like a ravehead when he tried again and again. I record all the things to my mind which my robots do, it helps me to analyse the level of IQ and gives info about their favourites.

I like raptor but I do not like reptile, maybe I am old-fashioned. :=).
