There was a Teksta (which the British Teknos are

called) the Robotic Puppy, the taller dog shown at

the beginning of the video, on auction by a British lady

just about the time of his birthday last month, with a

starting bid of just 3 pounds.

However, she insisted on insurance, which would come

to at least 4 or 5 pounds, more than the starting bid if I had

won it at that.

[ThamMalaysia]

I asked for the insurance to be waived, but

she didn't seem to like it, saying she could not give a refund

without it if it was lost in the mail (5 pounds insurance for

a risk of 3 pounds ?)

Moreover, that puppy also had a lot of bad reviews about its

incessant walking and barking, nose sensor won't stop it

unless it actually bumped into something right there, inability

to turn, reverse, etc.

[ThamMalaysia]

So in the end I didn't bid. Come to think of it, I guess

I should have. That toy attracted just a couple of bids,

winning at 4 pounds.

[ThamMalaysia]

How much did that cost ?

Thinking of getting one for my nephew.

[RougeRoks]

They get boring pretty quickly. After a week, the fascination with the barking and walking becomes repetitive.

And the newer Teknos [the INTERESTING ones] are about $30-$50.

[ThamMalaysia]

Thanks for the good feedback.

May I ask which online store I may find

the "newer Teknos " ?

[RougeRoks]

Well, the Tekno shown in this video was the "Bouncy Tekno" a newer model, but it gets a lot of bad reviews because for one thing, its magnetic ball and bone fall out of its mouth seconds after sticking them on, it won't respond to anything, and it has little bouncey spams and doesn't move much. However, you can find it at Toys R Us, Amazon, and many other online stores.

Then there are the old original Teknos, which are pretty easy to find. They're pretty fun, but do not respond to voice--

[RougeRoks]

--originally $50. I honestly have no idea why the price shot up this year.

How old is your nephew?

[ThamMalaysia]

Thank you again.

He just passed his 3rd birthday on the 28th last month.

Kinda like a belated birthday present now.

(His father shows favouristism towards his elder brother

and has never bought him a single battery-operated toy

since he was born, while the older boy has received

virtually dozens. All his battery toys are from me.)

[RougeRoks]

In the that case, the Bouncy Tekno is best. Its mostly geared towards younger children. Age is a huge factor. ^^
