YANBU. I'm 24 and I'm trying to steal DDs. They were amazing the first time round and you can turn them evil now Grin

I'd quite like one too! I had one of the original ones, but I left it at my mums when I moved out and I think she threw it away! Ds' friend has a new one and it's really cool! Mil asked me what I wanted for Christmas earlier, might ask her for one :)

But they are a massive PITA and have no off switch, or so I am told. Thankfully DD is too young, I hope they fall out of favour again before she is old enough.

That does not tell me much about what it does! Not really selling it for my poor DC!

They babble in furbish and you can teach them English, feed them and turn them good or evil.

Like a really small, easily transportable toddler really.

You can feed it via apple or android app! It's cute! It talks! What more do you want?! Shock

I'm 33 and want one!

I've bought one for my Ds1's Christmas and very, very nearly kept it for me. It is so adorable. He won't look after it like I will. Poor little furby, it should be mine. Sad

My mum sold mine at a car boot sale last year. I knew I should have kept it as they came back into fashion a few months later for crimbo. Sad

If they turn evil you can replace the batteries and push the rest button.

The Furby thing was after my time. I've got one for my DD for Xmas though. What happens when they turn evil?

I got my two girls one last year. Couldn't wait for them to open them but they only played with them for a day.

They took the batteries out as they annoyed them. Two of them like to interact and never shut up.

They still freak me out following my experience years ago with one of the original ones.
I was on my own at home, pottering about in the bedroom when I heard a wailing from the wardrobe. I was down the stairs and out the front door so fast, in a complete panic (still gives me palpitations thinking about it). Took me quite a while to remember the bloody furby shoved in the back of the cupboard Blush

I sent an email to my parents requesting a Furby for Christmas, they both emailed back the saying the same thing:

"NO!"

AIBU to buy myself a Furby?
