nope no back sensor.

allosaurus · « **Reply #103 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:14:52 PM »

I really need to see if they changed the design much!

Pleo Power · « **Reply #104 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:24:08 PM »

the site doesent have anything on them.

and I think Rex is a bit jealous about the hole thing.

Burberry016 · « **Reply #105 on:** July 28, 2009, 04:30:50 PM »

There really should be a back sensor because that's a main petting spot.

All they have added is the ability to 'program' in a small skit (thirty commands max). I would have like to see more than that

Now I shall have to wait a year for that one to arrive here

(Maybe its just a hacked one?)

No They also added the ability to teach them tricks.

if it was then it would be on there now and not in November, and it would be on eBay not amazon.

Oh and This is interesting.

here's the Product Dimensions on D.rex: 6.5 x 22.5 x 14 inches. and here's the ones for D.rex II. Product Dimensions: 21.5 x 9.5 x 14 inches.

and the box weight with them in it. D.rex 11 pounds. D.rex II 10.9 pounds. But what does it look like?

Burberry016 · « **Reply #108 on:** July 28, 2009, 10:13:27 PM »

Those arre big differences!!!!!!!

Pleo Power · « **Reply #109 on:** July 29, 2009, 08:08:40 AM »

yes they are.

acquiring to this, it will be a tad lighter, very wide, and not very long.

(the mystery deepens!

)

Burberry016 · « **Reply #110 on:** July 29, 2009, 01:33:17 PM »

Hmmmmm I'm trying to picture it in my mind...

allosaurus · « **Reply #111 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:18:21 PM »

Perhaps it was just talking about the dimensions of the box? Nah..... The box on the normal D-Rex isn't that small.

Pleo Power · « **Reply #112 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:38:26 PM »

I got those of amazon but the 6.5 x 22.5 and the 21.5 x 9.5 might have been switched when they were doing the sizes on there.

Burberry016 · « **Reply #113 on:** July 29, 2009, 03:42:10 PM »

hmm, yes.

Pleo Power · « **Reply #114 on:** July 31, 2009, 08:03:24 AM »

They are now calling it "D.rex interactive dinosaur." Not D.rex II like it said the other day.

Oh and just so you know, D.rexs crave attention, and will let you know about it if they are left alone for too long.

allosaurus · « **Reply #115 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:23:33 AM »

Then maybe it's not a new D-Rex at all...... Someone thought it was and put it like that.

Pleo Power · « **Reply #116 on:** July 31, 2009, 09:40:48 AM »

No, the sizes are different and they can be thought tricks and programed.

and still no image.

and they call the 2008 D.rex "D.rex interactive dinosaur" as well.

allosaurus · « **Reply #117 on:** July 31, 2009, 10:46:10 AM »

Really, maybe it's just a big mistake.

I daresay they have just reworked the internal stuff, it wouldn't make sense to rebuild a whole new dino and still call it D-rex. Clearly with the sales doing so badly they felt they had to spice them up a bit more to make it a little more than a toy

Of course it means that now I'll have to wait forever for them to arrive here... again

what do you mean? I haven't seen any sense last Christmas. and then they were the "Hot seller of Christmas 2008".

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #121 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:52:47 PM »

They weren't hot sellers though, actually they sold really badly, too expensive to be a children's toy and not high tech enough to appeal to robot enthusiasts and of course like Pleo the global financial crisis didn't help.

What they have done now is give D-rex a bit more appeal, giving it an ability to be programmed will broaden the appeal to the robot community while being able to teach D-rex 'tricks' will make it seem more worthwhile as a toy as well.

but all over the place when I look at stuff about them it says they were the "Hot seller of Christmas 2008"(except one site where they said it was discontinued!

) and on amazon they were sold out by the first week of the listing.

yes it probably will. I wonder what tricks they are? come? sit? run? attack? hedbash? Rore on camand? jump? roll over? Stay?(Rex does this one, and he isn't sapost to be that smart.

LOL! I wish I could get my dog to stay

I shall have to wait for the new d-rex to get here, I so want one that does a lovestruck personality like Pleo, hehe that would be a scream
