If you've been keeping up with the Pleo dino robot as much as roschler, you know it's been a long anticipated robotic toy! Well, it looks like it's delayed again! UGoBe is concerned that the batteries keep overheating when they are charged so the charging system has to be redesigned. They want to get it right! Imagine the excited look on your child's face as their Christmas present pleo goes up in flames! As it is, this robotic dino is sure to be the "hot" Christmas item this year! Amazon is taking preorders for December 10th so you still might be able to get a robotic dino (that doesn't go up in flames hopefully) for your little tike for Christmas! It's only $349.00 and what a bargain that you'll get free shipping! Keep watching that ship date and keep hoping! Expect this item to be on our 2007 version of the Robotics Christmas Wish list!

If only a Chicxulub or Tunguska blow up meteor could be included in the retail package to make it more educational and amusing!
