View Full Version : Remote control dinosaur
jenrob29 10-20-2008, 9:24 AM I am looking for that big remote control dinosaur, I think its from fisher price or maybe mattel. It's about 3 ft tall when extended. I have seen the tail end of the commercial on tv for it. I did find it in a store a week or so ago for 129.99 ( eeeek, lol ) pretty expensive toy for a 4 year old. Anyhow, I went back and it was gone. Does anyone already have one that can tell me if it is worth the $$ or is anyone planning on getting on for xmas, maybe I should hold out for BF to see if it's going to be on sale ! Thanks

I dont forsee that one going any cheaper
ixrayu05 10-20-2008, 9:40 AM I think those are pretty popular. We don't have one, but if I were you I would pick one up now-if you see on available, and then if you see a great deal on BF, return the original. That's what I do if there is something I really want. Good Luck!
siczlo 10-20-2008, 9:51 AM I saw them on Sunday at my local Target and TRU. The display scared my 2yr old!
marth4 10-25-2008, 5:53 PM It's going to be a popular item. I bought it about a month ago for my 5yr. old's xmas present. I picked it up at Target but I haven't seen it since.
Mommy2Four 10-25-2008, 6:59 PM My 4 year old wants one so bad. She told DH that he could work all day to get the money for it! :g_laughin The last place I saw one was at Target.
cokemeyer 10-25-2008, 10:35 PM It is called Spike the Ultra Dinosaur by Fisher-Price Imaginext. :) so far, that $129.99 price at Target/Walmart is the best I've seen...
christib327 10-25-2008, 11:44 PM My parents bought one of these for each of my 4 year old twins. I think they will LOVE them. I've seen them at Target. I believe my parents got them from QVC.
guilliam 10-26-2008, 4:09 PM DS6 got one for his b-day back in August and he LOVES it (so do I :)) It's the coolest. I don't think it will go any lower and I think it will sell out FAST.
kellygirl911 10-26-2008, 7:51 PM I bought the dinosaur today at TRU for my DS4 for Christmas. It was $10 off and I used the $10 coupon in the flyer for a savings of $20. This may be the cheapest I find it before the holidays. If not, I will keep my receipt.

scrapfor4 10-27-2008, 1:08 AM I scored ours on the TRU buy 2 get 1 free deal on imaginext toys that they had a few weeks ago. So I bought 3 for $300 and that included tax. They were regular price then of $139.99 but I expected this to be a hot item and figured that I wasn't going to get a price better than that. Also knew if something cheaper popped up I could return and get the better deal.
kellygirl911 10-27-2008, 10:37 AM I don't remember that imaginext deal. Looks like you scored well.
