Star Wars Interactive R2D2 Astromech Droid Robot(Discontinued by manufacturer)

I bought this for my nine-year-old son for Christmas 2008 and he absolutely adores it! It is so cute and Amazon did a great job! I almost didn't get it because it was delivered to the wrong address but Amazon shipped another out right away. R2D2 is so cute...but be warned if you're not a hardcore fan of Star Wars and don't like R2 in the movies then don't buy it. R2 acts the same way he does in the movies. He has a little temperament but it really can be cute and the best thing is you can always just tap him on the head to get him back to "normal" or cut him off. My son loves the dance command and he had dancing one night 8 or 9 times well I guess the 10th time was not the charm for R2 because he got started talking really fast and shaking his head then the next thing you know he whips around and turns his back on my son. We all were just rolling in the floor laughing it was so cute. He really is adorable and has become my son's new best friend. He guards his room and he has even gone hunting for my son when he's walked out of the room. Very good buy for the money!

We were skeptical but R2D2 robot is one of the coolest robots we have purchased! It's interactive and fairly entertaining when R2 is on patrol or shaking his head no when he doesn't like your command :-). It was nicely packaged to protect it during shipping And was assembled which was another plus. The claw is already broken because our son walked past him and bumped it And theClaw snapped off. it broke inside at the base and is not fixable. That's the only negative comment in regards to this Droid- his claw is not made of a sturdy material (its lightweight plastic) but overall the robot is durable. Usually R2 does follow most commands except it sang a tune from the movie And we have no idea what command was given. Fun toy!! Do recommend it.

You are buying a toy. Do not expect a robot and do not expect an educational experience and you will be happy. The voice recognition software does not work as well as you would like with high pitched (young) voices. The robot gets confused on a regular basis and will not follow or understand commands. You have to shut it off to resink the software. It is not robust, but my son and his friends love it for the cool factor. It is just plain cool to have a robot patrol your room and listen to you and the fact that it is star wars makes it perfect for him. I would buy it again, for the reason that counts for me. My son likes it and has fun with it even with the limitations stated above.

R2 is a hit in our house! This little fellow is non-stop fun. Our son loves playing with him more than playing with the dog (R2 is much more obedient). Getting around the house is generally pretty easy for R2. He can almost always get himself out of a jam. His voice command capability works well and his sensor capability and programming are excellent for a robot at this price point. While the range of commands are limited, R2 does everything he's been programmed to do with excellence and even surprises you from time to time. We have had no problems at all with him.There is no better buy in a robot at this price point. R2 has become a permanent part of our family. Now we're waiting for C3PO!

A worthless expensive product with absolutely no manufacturer or Amazon support. I purchased on last November for my grandson as a Christmas present. Of course he opened it on Christmass day and was excited to have this R2D2. First of all there were no instruction with the package and if my husband had not downloaded one from the Internet no one would know what to do with it. After the batteries where installed the unit turned on and the only thing it did was to move its head like saying no. And nothing else. Now the manufacturer techno Llc does not want to repair, replace, or take it back because it is more than 60days from the purchase date. And we have to communicate through Amazon the seller which does not accept responsibility either. The only option is to take it to Target with the receipt and speak to a human being to see how this can be sorted out. This is the problem with Internet purchase. I will not buy anything through Internet again. If the product is good it is fine but when there is a problem no one takes responsibility. Amazon has been pretty good with returns or replacements but with this company they are the middle man and just don't want to bother. This is a peace of crap, the r2d2 my grandson received and he wonders why Santa gave him a toy which does not operate properly. It does not walk, does not understand commands so it is a piece of crap

I purchased this R2D2 Robot for my 5 and 7 year old boys for christmas and they we're absolutely thrilled! After watching videos of it on You Tube, it was at the top of their Xmas list! The first day we couldn't get it to do much, but being that it was Christmas we had a full house with alot of noise, you definetly need a quite room. The next day we got it out and we we're able to get it to perform some of the commands, but it wouldn't move. Then all of the sudden that night, it just started roaming around, the kids we're very excited, needless to stay. Now that it "woke up" it definetly has it's own little personality, it gets in a bad mood quite often. We've gotten it to do alot of things, but after a few weeks there are still a few we can't get it to do. I haven't spent a whole lot of time using it, but I think it's kind of a learning process. I thought maybe ours was just defective, but after sending for a replacement from Amazon (which was a very easy process and we got to keep this until the new one arrived) the new one didn't work at all! So, we've decided to hang on to the first, the kids are happy with it, so that's what matters. I paid $99 for it in December, but I see it's gone up since then. They are $165 at Disneyland, but that's just ridiculous! I think it's way overpriced, but Star Wars toys usually are, as is pretty much everything these days.

インタラクティブ Ｒ２-Ｄ２ 前から欲しくてついに購入しました。購入価格21000円（少し高いかな？）実際に開けてみるとなかなかリアルです。当方が買ったのはトミーからではないので、説明書が前文英語であまり解りませんがネットでダウンロードして何とか使っています。英語の発音が悪いのかあまり言う事を聞きません。すぐイヤイヤをして、訳の解らない文句を一人で喋っています。センサー付で、障害物を避けながら歩行します。じゅうたんの上も乗り越えて結構　歩行パワーはありますがすぐ電池が無くなります。当方は、充電用単３電池を単１電池変換アダプターに入れて使用しています。右腹の蓋を開けるとアームが出ますので缶などを持たせる事ができます。〜ミニモップを持たせて掃除をさせましたがあまり旨くいきませんでした。モーターの歩行音が結構うるさいです。また、声もでかくてよく喋りまくりますのでTV視聴中は切っていた方がいいでしょう！でも、映画のR2-D2が部屋にいる様でなかなか気に入っています。対物センサーの位置が傾斜した上方頭部にありますので頭より下部分に死角が生じて物があるのに避けないことがあります。電池の交換は、背面の蓋のネジ2箇所をドライバーで開けて取り替えますがいちいちドライバーを使うのは少し面倒です。SWファンならぜひとも側に置きたい商品ですね！〜しかし、少しわがままな子ですが…。？！
