...because I would have committed capital murder for one of these when I was four.

I may still buy one.

Kids today. Geez.

I'm going to have to come up with caveats for my previous stance that children's toys are getting too fancy. I think all previous home animatronics were just beta runs for that.

Pretty cool, but imagine if you could really ride it and not just sit on it! Now that would be awesome!

There were loads of things I wanted really bad as a kid, maybe because I didn't get a lot of cool toys and my standards were lower

Bigger question, how big a jump will it clear? Seriously, I think you "ride" it--imagination style. Kind of how you ride an exercise bike. In other words, I don't think you can ride it into town.

You could probably at least ride it from your office to mine. That would be cool.

You could probably give it a super-soaker-filled-with-gasoline-induced fiery death, then bring the pile of ashes back to Walmart, claiming that it spontaneously combusted while your child was riding it, but you'd gladly "settle out of court" for a new XBOX 360 and a hand full of games...and a shotgun...and some shells. That would be cool.

If you could actually ride it, I'd buy one. Can you imagine your pet dinosaur giving you a lift to the kitchen when you need some food? It'd be way cooler if it was a tyrannosaurus with a saddle on it though.

Looks too cutesy. I'd want my toy pet dinosaur to have gnashing fangs and knarley claws and E36 M3 like that.
