I want one but can't find them anywhere. I spotted them in Targets a week ago, but there's none there now

I got mine yesterday from Target, he was a pre-order and on lay-by. I'm glad I went with that option as they were only on shelves for a few days before they all sold. I'm sure they will get more in and the price will probably drop but I'm impatient and wanted mine ASAP

Love him so far, very cute and wonderful AI considering the low (in robot terms...) price. Rather a let down that so many features require an iPhone but otherwise I'm very happy with the purchase.

PAIN in the BUTT getting the batteries in though! The second they are in he starts up and there are two screws to get in whilst he is wriggling around, took at least 10 minutes to get the cover back on.

I am happy for your Luna, what color is he or she? I still have not even opened my guy and I got the first one here on the forums, over two weeks ago, just not as intersting to me..................hard to beat a Pleo...............mayby he will end up a Christmas present or I will resell him if I need to.............very tempting though.

If he could do more and I had an I phone he may be opened by now, Can you post photos.? congrats. RWM

I'll be picking one up sooner or later, I think for the price they've done quite well adding fun personalities - i've played with demo models in various stores, they're nicely responsive and cuddly.

I have a fair ole pile of furbys and I think I'll always have a soft spot for them, seeing as they were how I got into robots as a kid. So I have to have one of these new ones for my collection

Next on my list is an ERS7 AIBO and a Pleo RB, methinks.

My robot army shall amass sooner or later

Go for it Pirpi (lol can I call you that??) they are fun little creatures. Also, robot army, I like it. Go for that as well

everyone calls me pirpi! haha go fr it

Yeah I have a friend that works in toys r us and is waiting for the next wave of colours to put one aside for me

I get a nice discount too. Hohoho!

I love robots way too much.. since I was a kid, it's all I wanted, when I was 7 I said I wanted to be an animatronics puppeteer when I grew up. Hahaha! As it is now I collect what I can afford. I need a new battery for one of my AIBOs though

When I'm old I will definitely be a crazy robot lady :S

Anyone know what the new colours will be? :-)

pirpintine · « **Reply #82 on:** November 03, 2012, 10:04:41 AM »

there's some more sort of basic colour combos, like dark blue and cyan, and then theres the very 90s throwback colours. Like black and hot pink, orange and blue.. some very neon colour combos and some pastel ones.

I can't find any decent pictures but this shows some:

You can see them on eBay, some sellers have them already

There is a bright pink one any Aibo would love. I want to get another to see if James will try to touch it and if it will laugh at him when he does

I have wanted an emototronic one. I have a friend who has one, and my original furby Aloo cannot talk to it. I don't know his actual name. It sounds like Adio.

Talon · « **Reply #85 on:** December 11, 2012, 08:12:17 AM »

Yes. As advanced as they are, the emototronic ones are kind of shut off in their own little world unless you have another emototronic Furby for them to talk to. Even then their skit isn't nearly as varied and lifelike as the cute and spontanious play you see when original Furbys meet and greet.

Thanks to Fancyfont, I now have my own crazy purple Furby, I think I shook him one too many times

Hers is a more calmer musical type Furby

For now...

CAUTION POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcXbYTe-vqo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcXbYTe-vqo</a>

Here's a video of our bunch, I went out and bought a second lol. So meet Razzle and Dazzle my Furbies, and Snowball, Linda's Furby.

In this video Razzle (purple) was on the Baby personality (get by patting its head for ages)
Dazzle (pink) was Valley Girl (default personality)
Snowball was Hard as Nails personality (get by pulling tail repeatedly)

Other personalities I've found is Evil (shake), Caveman (over feed) and Joker (tickle).

Also sometimes they all sing together, but they weren't obliging today.

Wow! They really seem to like hanging out together.

Looks like everyone is having lots of fun. Looks like IMR is going to have some very full bags to take back home. LOL. I will have to rewatch the video in the morning when my foot is not throbbing so much so I do not miss too much. Very cute, makes me wonder about if I should finally turn my guy on, he has sat in his box since Sept, and never even been opened, a TEAL one. RWM

Lunamione7 · « **Reply #91 on:** December 18, 2012, 08:31:54 AM »

Great video IMR

Howard has been in all of those personalities but there were still some things I have never heard before. I love the candy floss colour so much.

Just found this, acsessories for Furby!

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPyMGGMu1Bg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPyMGGMu1Bg</a> the chair I am not much interested in but I love the glasses and the bag

Ok you guys have Utterly Slayed me with these vids and fun, so I now have a lovely little Raincloud teal and gray Furby (unnamed) that I Adore - and Now thanks to you I just ordered accessories too

I don't have video of this yet, but when my Furby dances to Gangnam Style it always switches into dance personality after about 2 mins - Hysterical!!!

Yes TONs of patting head will eventually bring my baby back

Floodsy · « **Reply #93 on:** December 18, 2012, 03:54:32 PM »

I got a yellow Furby! Soon after I turned him on for the first time he became a singer and then a valley girl! Furbies are so much fun! I can't wait for him to meet Loki! I have a feeling there might be some sibling rivalry though.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #94 on:** December 18, 2012, 09:20:39 PM »

Hehe, they are crazy but so funny. Snowball was alternating between burping and farting when we were trying to show some visitors. Lovely manners

Don't you love that? Your bots behave like angels when it's just you and them together. Invite a friend or introduce a camera and it's like someone flipped the Refusal-to-cooperate switch. I did get a rare vocal performance out of Ryu in front of my cousin's family last week. She got a nice round of applause. I was so happy!
