V-tech Kidipets

New competition for the Tamagotchi from Bandai America... Even if its in the UK.

On Feb. 8th, this was reported to come out...

Want one? Regardless the color, age-range, over-all look....?

I might consider getting one if the price is right. The look as of now looks pretty good.

Yay! I have always wanted a Kidimini!

(Note: Kidiminiz is the American name for Kidipets.)

I don't think I'll be getting one personally as they seem like more of a kid's toy or simplified version of the tamagotchi I've come to know and love. But I guess that's what they are really, which is to be expected with a recommended age of 2+! They're a bit expensive for me considering I probably wouldn't play with it much (£16) though overall that's not an unfair price for what it is. I'd love to read a review if anyone does buy one though. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind about them

If we get them here in America or they become more available on Ebay... I might invest in the cat one. Even if I decide its a bit too young for me, it would be a great thing for my neices/nephews to try out. They always seem so interested in my tamagotchi.

Kidiminiz are the American version.

The advantage of having an almost 1 year old son I can get it and play with it then give it to my son to enjoy

Yes, thank you Pango.

My siblings have kids... So I have lots of kids doing "grabby" hands for them. They rarely get to play with my tamas, but they love watching them. Its based on if they are listening or hyper when they get to play. This seems perfect. As tech is improving, this seems easy enough, but still "smart" enough for the tech world that little kids are being introduced to these days.

Looks too simple for me to enjoy, otherwise I'd get the blue dog. Could always hear/read/watch reviews, though.
