Vtech Switch and Go Dinos - Sliver the T-Rex

This product was such a disappointment. My understanding is that is was a cool "transformer" style toy with facts about dinosaurs and fun sounds. I could not purchase it at the stores, because they were all sold out, which I thought would be a good sign.

I get the package in the mail (and was so excited--this was a "Santa" gift). I touch the buttons to change the eye expression, which was a little "intimidating", but not too bad. Flames went up every time I changed the setting.

This didn't become awful until you couple that with the sounds. Things came out of this cute little toy that suddenly sounded evil. "You will fear me!", and "I am your king!". All drawn out in a deep voice.

Please tell me why my four year old needs to fear anything and how that makes this toy more appealing to play with or purchase?

My husband heard these sounds coming from the other room and asked, "WHAT is THAT?"!

My child will have plenty of time (unfortunately) to be exposed to the negative things of life. Why on earth would I have it start during his play time?

My son is 2yrs old. I was skeptical due to his age, but he really likes it! He doesn't really transform it on his own but he does play with it a lot. Will definitely buy another one in the future.

I bought this for my 3 year old and she LOVES it! She has played with it over and over. I like that it's easy enough for her to transform on her own.

My four year old and two year old received 2 each for Xmas and everyday since they wake up and grab these toys. They Dino's transform into cars easily and talk.

My son loved this toy but did not understand what the dino was saying and after realizing the mean things it was saying I thought about bringing it back. My son did not understand why the dino would say "on your knees" or "cower in fear". How do you explain this to a 4 year old. I decided to keep it but he doesn't use the buttons he just likes to tranform it. This toy is well made and a great value but they should have used educational phrases.

I purchased this on-line for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas. She likes to play "dinosaur" and when she saw these in all the toy magazines, she told us she wanted it every time. I was excited that it was supposedly going to be educational with dino facts. However, upon receiving this and testing it out, I found 4 of the 5 demo sayings to be offensive. In a menacing voice, the dinosaur says, "Cower in fear", "Obey your king", "On your knees" and "fear me!" I was so disappointed and do not approve of my 3 year old hearing these phrases, and definitely not thinking these things are okay to say and eventually mimicking this character. This toy is going back.

I was so excited to get these dinos for my three year old (and he REALLY wanted them), but they have some pretty nasty sayings that I don't want him repeating to his younger sister or friends. "Cower in fear," "I am your king" and they say it in a really nasty voice (which I would have known had I not bought them online...my mistake for not doing more research). I love that they have fun facts and they look well made, but I'm not ok with my kids saying the things these dinos say...so...they'll be going back.

This toy was so neat that I wished that I had purchased a couple more for another grandson.

Very cute and filled with humor. The only issue is it is difficult for child to transform back and forth with out adult help

this is a awsome toy and will keep your little one very occupied even my daughter wanted to play with rex so more color variety would be a nice feature as girls like dinos also but otherwise its very durable ours fell a few time with my rough little players and kept my son very happy during our 16 hour drive on vacation so its a nice to go toy also interacts very nicely i would have to say this will be a nice christmas / birthday gift come that time and i will be buying the whole collection.
