My D-Rex won't walk. it does everything else but I can't get it to walk. I can hear the gears moving in the legs but it doesn't walk.

Turn unit upside down. Check if D-Rex has fresh new Alkaline batteries. NiMH (1.2V) or Carbon-Zinc (low power density) will not do. D-Rex uses a lot of power. Walking requires the most power. See if feet now move. If this does not help, then gears are damaged inside D-Rex.

I have not had trouble with mine but it is difficult to know exactly what buttons do what

Same problem here. Great toy, but it sure is fragile. Maybe take to a Hobby Shop? Haven't done it yet.

this happened to me this year too - I was about to send it back but instead I took it apart (removed the cylinoid, took all those pieces apart - not sure of the names of them) and then checked for wear and tear, sediment build up, etc. It was all clean so I put it all back together and it started working again. I think maybe it just needed a little movement to get going again. It might be worth a shot before going through the hassle of returning, etc. Hope that helps!

If you see no light at all it could be a problem with the base, not the Dino part. We had a problem with the base prong once. I emailed the Kinderglo company and they trouble- shooted with me to try to determine if it was something easily fixable. When it wasn't they asked me for my information and sent me a new base. In my case the metal prong was bend a bit and it simply wouldn't line up correctly to form a connection.

I purchased this one from Amazon and found it was defective too. From the beginning, it did not make sound or move easily, i.e., you have to press its paws or somewhere really very hard to get it to act. After a while, it did not move at all. We contacted the toy maker and they sent us a shipment tag to mail the toy back. They are willing to refund it as the toy is not in inventory. But we have not received the refund check yet. It may take a while though. We ordered the second one from Amazon for our daughter as she really loves this toy. The second one is wonderful. She has it for over 2 weeks and it is perfect still.

Yes. I owned this item a few years ago, so I'm no expert at it any more. (I did not get one when they first came out in the Jurassic Era.)

Mine didn't work very well either. It would purr, but not always walk. I was pretty disappointed, but my daughter didn't care. Did you try changing the batteries?

I have the same issue. We just put batteries in the horse, but it doesn't do anything now. I thought maybe I need to replace the batteries in Barbie. We have been to busy to trouble shoot much.

It doesn't match the scale the T-rex is, its scaling is a little larger actually. The regular T-rex (not the running one) is about 2-3 inches taller.

Hi- some of the dinosaurs will stand up on their own, but some will not. It's a hit or miss given each animal's size. If you must have then stand up, then I would suggest to order from another vendor.

Mine is the same way. My husband said that that was the way they have always been. I don't remember mine but it is an odd thing. I told him that it should land on an animal and say what that animal is and it's sound, not do it afterwards. So perhaps mine isn't broken, it's just Fisher Price's backwards thinking!

I have the very same problem. i thought it was because the batteries were going.... my cat ripped the nylon to shreds within one week and the gears are not working at all. My cat is very upset, as she would play with it constantly. I wish I could get a replacement from the manufacturer..... but I threw the box away.

We have had that problem, try smacking it a good one. Seriously. Also, it "dies" regularly, just stops working and/or won't start. We've learned to actually "twist" the button when we want to turn it on and that seems to help. My son has literally tripped over it several times and that has started it. The silly thing is frustrating as all get out, but our cat LOVES it. When it isn't working, she lays down right beside it and croons to it. When it is working, she pounces on it and gives it a good shellacking (spelling?).

Make sure you have it on the track correctly. If that doesn't do it I wish I could help you....mine actually stopped working all together and could not be returned. Haven't replaced it yet....not sure I'm going to either.

I cannot get my Wanda the Whale to move at all. Someone commented that it must be "primed" before it will work. But, the instructions don't mention this and I am not clear on how to prime it?

It doesn't really work - you have to take it apart and insert tail and re-assemble - we went through one before we figured it out. Good luck!

No idea. The rubber feet were lost on mine despite vigilance. I believe they crawled away to the rubber feet boneyard.
