Vtech Switch & Go Dinos Demolish the Dragon

Four and a half year old saw this in a shop and said he wanted it. I said, no, too expensive and he got a little Bakugan transformer instead. But we always get him a present on his Dad's birthday so he has something to open too, so I ordered this on Amazon. It's a fantastic toy, and worth the money! They know don't they! They have an instinct for what is a good toy (usually). It caused us all great entertainment. It is educational too - he copies what it says sometimes so now knows it is a bi-ped and a bi-ped walks on two legs and can say Tyrannosaurus Rex. It goes into a kind of standby mode when not being played with, which is hilarious. It will be silent for a while then suddenly you hear this little voice "I want to eat you!" Recently, little one decided to spend his saved up birthday money and saw the blue one in a shop, so we got it. Unfortunately it was a French version! But also hilarious. I said I'd take it back and we would order the proper English version on Amazon - but he then decided he wanted to swap it for the red Pteranodon instead. So the red one was ordered, but meanwhile he had got quite attached to the French Triceratops as he said it sounded funny. So kept that as well - maybe he'll learn some French. Ouch - have now bought two of these - and he paid for one with his birthday money. Personally I think this green T Rex is the best of the three. But he prefers the red one at the moment. They all have some very funny sayings - some of which only happen when it is in standby mode. A really excellent toy that any boy will love.

Having bought a few real 'transformers' and found them too complex for my 2.5 year old, we grabbed this as it switches from car to trex in about 3/4 clicks. It's very tough, has bags of variety (although the voice is the same irrespective of which driver you select) and you CAN turn it off - hold the blue button on the right for 5 secs and it then says "goodbye" - just don't kick it in the night as it has a sensor which auto turns it on. You can also turn the volume to one of three settings which is a good idea. We've got loads of Wow toys, but these compliment them well as a noisy, flashier alternative. Great toy and plan to get more dinos and Vtech toot toot driver stuff for his birthday.

Really good toy to begin with, I bought this again for my nephew as my three year old loved it so much. It looks and sounds great only problem was after a couple of months of play it stopped fitting together properly as a car.

My not quite 4 year old got Span the Spinosaurus for Christmas and desperately wanted another dino as well. He used his Christmas money to pay me for this one. He loves the fact that, as a car, Rex will fit on the platform that Span comes with and he can therefore play with the two together/interacting. The voice is a little gruff and unlike the larger Span, does not appear to have an on/off switch or a volume control. Easy enough for him to transform from dino to vehicle himself and well played with already. He is yet to receive the Brachiosaurus that has been purchased for his birthday, but I'm sure he will love this too.

My 5 year old and nearly-3 year old sons were given one dinosaur each for Christmas. They were a real hit, played with non-stop for the next 3 days. They enjoy racing them together in car mode, and even the little one mastered transforming his from car to dinosaur after a few hours. They're really robust (my children are heavy handed like most!) and pretty noisy which of course the kids love and the parents hate (but they do have an off-switch, bonus). Really delighted - great toy.

My son loved this item and it keeps him entertained for hours. He loves taking it apart and building it back together.

DO NOT BUY. First one came and batteries had leaked so didn't work, returned paying £4 postage and ordered another in good faith. Same happened again...leaky batteries. Now trying to get my money back without losing another £4.

This is a great little toy. We got it for my son's 4th birthday and he loves it. It says several different phrases/sound effects in both diosaur and car mode, and although they can get irritating after a while, they aren't too loud compared to many other irritating noisy toys! It has a feww steps to change from car to dinosaur, enough to make my son feel clever when he completes the change, but not so many that he didn't catch on pretty quickly. We are very happy, and would consider getting one in a different colour to go with this one next time a birthday comes up.

Allgemein sind die Funktionen interessant. Leider war das erste Exemplar (das auch unterm Weihnachtsbaum stand) defekt. Bei der Verwandlung zum Roboter sackte das Spielzeug wieder in sich zusammen und wurde zum Dino. Retourniert, nach Weihnachten teurer neu bestellt, um dann festzustellen, dass es sich um die Englische Version handelte - deutsch nur noch 1 x gebraucht auf Lager (wohl unser defektes Exemplar?!). Interessant ist, dass bei der Deutschen Variante Batterien enthalten waren. Batterien und auch Bedienungsanleitung fehlten bei der englischen Version. Ich werde es also erneut zurückschicken und mit meinen frustrierten Sohn zum Spielwarengeschäft fahren, damit er sich dort was anderes aussucht.

Este coche se convierte en T-Rex lo que le hace ser algo muy entretenido paranlos mas pequeños. El juguete tiene una pantalla en el que sale un piloto conduciendo cuando es coche y los ojos cuando es T-Rex. También emite sonidos, y aqui es la pega que le encuentro, las voces son en inglés. Teníamos otro que hablaba en español, y al ponerlo en funcionamiento nos encontramos con que es de habla inglesa. Por lo demás, minhijo está encantado con ellos.

De bonne qualité et belle surprise à l'intérieur.

Petit fils ravi pour son anniversaire....

My grandson loved this toy. Great play value.
