Has anyone bought one or planning on buying?

I know my 8 year old dd would love one but over £100 Shock ?? Is it worth the money? It's got good reviews though.

It's ALL dd wants, nothing else, just that and desperately bless her. Grin

We got one in Costco for £81.00 a little while ago.

My dd got this for her birthday . I don't really think it's worth the price . It doesn't do much motion wise ,other than move it's head and light up .

It would be much better if it walked . Dd really really wanted it ... 3 days after her birthday it was sat in the toy box and hasn't been looked at since Angry

Hmm, not sure really. Although my older dds (and me) would probably love it too.

I don't think it's worth the money at all, for what it does.
But my dd has asked for a real unicorn every year at Christmas Hmm she's willing to accept this so I shelled out the £80.00 Grin

I was completely against this toy when 7 yo DD1 first saw it, I was telling her it didn't do much for the money ($150 here) and she should look at other toys.

However I change my mind after playing with one in a toy shop, yes it should do more for the money and it would be nice if it walked, but I have to agree that any unicorn mad child would LOVE it (I have a younger DD who will also love it). It doesn't do much but it is quite a sophisticated and magical robotic toy - a bit like having a muppet for a pet.

I am now waiting for the best deal I can find and I am hoping to get it for around $90.

Found one for £96 on Amazon. Wonder if I should get it? Do you think that's as cheap as I'm going to get??

Ordered from Amazon Smile

I'd probably regret it if I didn't, I imagine prices will rocket closer to Christmas.

That would only happen if you hadn't bought one.

Now you have they will be £40 everywhere as of next week Grin

I went to Costco, they still have them there £83 now, but that's obviously only an option if you're a member.

It's one of those toys isn't it? It'll either be dirt cheap the week before Xmas, or end up randomly popular and sold out everywhere bar eBay at extortionate rates.

Just adding that DD has had Fudge the pony from the Stawberry Stables range for a couple of years and it's played with loads, it doesn't do anything special but its size means it can really be part of so many play scenario's, i think the unicorn would be the same.

I am waiting for my local Costco they stock in as my niece is after one. Glad to hear they are £80ish. A huge saving from £120.
