So anybody like these? There is currently a dog, puppies and a dinosaur. A cat and mini Dino's called Chomplingz are due out this fall.

I'm trying to scrape up enough for the dog or dinosaur. $100 is a lot of money. I have two of the puppies though. I really like them. Their moods change depending on how you treat them much like the old robo-chi pets.

The cat is supposed to vibrate when it purrs. The mini dinos have several features. Aside from the usual touch and motion sensors they can play catch with the included bone, fart when their tail is tweaked and play a game where you try to remove your hand before they chomp down on it. Yeah, these suckers bite! They're probably my most wanted pet at the moment. Too bad I gotta wait until they're released in the fall to get one.

 
I am loving my zoomer so far. Crazy steal at a Goodwill... for .99 cents. Nearly crapped Seeing it in the toy tub they have. Works fine.

They have a zoomer kitty coming too. Want one, seeming I am a cat lover.

I might get a puppy later.

 
Yes. The kitty will be released this fall. They'll probably release smaller kittens next year because normally they release low cost alternatives to go with the $100 model. They did it with the dog and low cost mini dinos are due out the same time as the cat.

 
Yup. I am hoping they are with an app too. Seems pretty helpful to a new owner. Seems mixed reviews on the Zoomer pets.

Reminds me of the poochi/meowchi pets too. Mine might visit. Lol.

 
Yup. Looks very expecive but the eyes might be nicer. Light color change verse led. Mine charged fine, but hope that isn't an issue for the kitty. ( ff, they don't charge)

Still can't believe my find. Just dumbfounding.

 
I'm somewhat interested in these now. In my area a few people are selling the zoomer dogs and zoomer dinos on kijiji for almost half the price, and they all have the description that they bought it for their kid but ended up losing interest after a day. :p

For some reason at this point I'm more interested in getting one of the puppies.

 
Just know some of them have a charging issue. (The fix is to charge them switched on, Either on a Wall-Plug or a Strong Computer cord to a Computer, a laptop may not work as well/take a charge)

I would recommend you keep an eye out for cheaper ones. They are very fun, but you have to charge them after an half an hour or so. Today I saw new in box from Walmart, $89. per regular Zoomer and the Dino versions. The pups are about $40.

 
$100

not as much as an aibo on amazon though

Price: $9,999.98 + $15.49 shipping

1 collectible from $4,800.00

 
Gah. I was avoiding the Zuppies for a reason. Now I want one because of one short review. lol. The guard feature is halarious. I like them all but what one is best in your opinion? I was leaning toward Scarlet, but the Lola coloring is nice... but the review had Candy.

Anyone have a Zuppies they could rant about? By rant, I mean tell me about in detail.

Oh, and do they move their feet or have wheels? Or are they more in place like the old Poochi pets?

Wow, thats an insane price for an Aibo. o_o I got mine with many extras for only 600 a few years ago.

As far a Zoomers go, I don't have one myself. I've always been curious about them. The Dinosaur version looks really cute (Although not really fond of the burping. Haha)

 
My mom bought me the original Zoomer for the Christmas before last Christmas. Then I got a Zuppies Scarlet one. I stopped playing with Zoomer because he was too hard to train and I lost his charging cord. :(

(Wait they're making cats and baby dions? Lol.)

The Zoomer chargers are simple enough to find. If you have a common one with a squarish top and a little bit larger bottom, some call it a standard cord, it will work. It works better if the cord is connected to the computer though. I use my tinkerbell cord I got with the charm game/pixiehallow. That one works for tons of things and it's purple. Charged my Zoomer just fine too.

 
Do NOT spend $100 on the Zoomer Dino. I bought one. Turns out that they're held together by string. If the string snaps the whole thing falls to pieces. Mine fell apart within an hour of activation. And I had a heck of a time getting Walmart to return my money.

SailorRosette, I have three of the Zuppies. They're pretty fun. Their mood changes depending on how much you interact with them. They don't move though. The only animation is in the eyes. They're still fun though

Bloop.

I have Scarlet. She is pretty cute and simple. Its nice not to have to chase her around like my large Zoomer at times.

Those Kitty Zoomers are out. I want to get one before the holiday rush but $100 still seems steep for one. (Then again, looking at the goodwill price of .99 normal zoomer, it would be Lol) I am in debate mode on which design to buy. I see all these exclusive designs. K-marts' comes with a mouse. (But that is a trip downtown...) Then the Amazon one (Blue and Stars) is pretty too, alas a wait for it to get to me since Amazon only has it... currently. I really like the regular and glitter type too though. Even ToysRUs has one. (think that one is white and spotted)

Oh and TRU had new Zuppies. Girly, but still cute.

 
I want the new Zuppies girly or not. I plan to get one of the Chomplingz mini Dino's next week. I'll post a review here when I get it.

 
I think I am leaning toward a traditional coloring or the pink glitter zoomer kitty. Atleast I narrowed it down some. Kinda makes me want a icat/speaker right now too. Lol.

 
I like the grey striped Zoomer Kitty.

I've become a huge fan of Spin Master's other electronic pet line Chubby Puppies.Not the most sophisticated electronic pet line out there since all they do is hop or waddle around depending on how you position their legs. But I love them. And I swear they should have been part of the Zoomer brand. They should have been marketed as Zoomer minis or something. Capitalize on a known brand. But if you like electronic cats you might want to keep an eye out. If Chubby Puppies sell well this Christmas then Chubby Kitties probably won't be far behind.

I bought the pink zoomer kitty. Adorable. Seems to have better programming and movements then zoomer doggie. The sensors are in the eyes, not the chest. Actual petting sensors, purrs (and vibrates)...super cute. Also has this secret volume control, lol.

My cats are interested in playing with it a little bit. Mostly the ball and going after the whiskers. Chase seems interesting... they started to chase it until kitty got mad at the table and pulled a U-turn on them.
