I must say I liked my old Pal micky better!!! We got the new Pal and he only worked for 2.5 hrs. then we took him back and had to hear about how the batteries have been in there since they shiped from China....Blah, Blah.. I told them for 65 bucks It should last at least a week! So they gave me a new one only to die 3 hrs later . I returned to the same store where they put in new batteries. That fixed the dieing prob but he never "worked right" as far as telling us about shows and parade times. I WAS going to buy 2...but ended up only getting one. anyone else have trouble?
