Wow. This tribble makes very good tribble noises, both the purr (trill) and the klingon alarm call. The purr could be a tad louder and clearer, but it's certainly readily identifiable as a tribble purr. The klingon alarm call is almost identical. A must have for anyone that likes trek. The velcro that allows you access to the switch is easily hidden, but pretty easy to manipulate. I haven't had it long, but it seems well made. Again, a great tribble product, one worth buying unlike all those other older versions out there.

My Dad has a much smaller one of these I remember from when I was a child, so when I saw this one I had to have it. The info says it's 6in across, but when it actually arrived it was more like 9in. This thing is HUGE, think the size that was giving birth to all the babies in the episode. It's really cute and squishy though, and the sounds are realistic. So realistic my cats think it's a prey item! They've stolen it a few times already, but haven't managed to damage it yet, so it's pretty sturdy. The velcro area that houses the battery and on/off switches is roomy enough to pull the box out so you can see what you're doing without ripping any seams. All in all, it's a pretty cool item, as long as you can hide it from your pets!

I had bought a tribble from another site because it was cheaper. Well you get what you pay for! You almost had to bang that tribble to get it to do anything! I then ordered this Tribble and I was amazed at the difference all you have to do is touch it for it to react. It has two great settings. It was a gift for my 30 year old son who has loved Star Trek since he was a kid. When we were carrying it in the sack to the door it was shaking and cooing all the way to the door. Needless to say he was thrilled. Also the Tribble is a great large size and very very hairy!

They're tribbles.. they give such a calming effect with their coos..

They are very big, much bigger than the ones that were shown in the original series, Just like a previous reviewer said, think of the one giving birth all the time in the show so it's at least canon. the sound effects are perfect, exactly as I remembered it and its got an nice vibrate to go with it.

they use 2 AA batteries that are included, I haven't used it long enough to judge on efficiency, but for the past 2 weeks since I bought it, It's still using stock batteries so that's a good thing.

I love how there's a velcro opening for the electronics, it's very accessible and it blends in perfectly. The first time I opened it I couldn't figure out how to open it since it's well hidden (it's where the tag is.) Changing batteries involves a phillips screwdriver, and there's a switch to go from the "I like humans" sound to the "DIE YOU DIRTY KLINGONS" sound.

This is a great toy and a great distraction! I have still not been able to make it scream when a Klingon gets near - probably because none have come close! LOL. The dogs are fascinated by it and I have to keep it away from the cats because it is one huge furry toy! I am not sure who has more fun with it.

The tribble sounds an moves just like the ones on the show. My 18 year-old daughter was the recipient. Her friends are envious.

Every software company should have one of these along side their Yoda bobble-head. Make sure to set it on Klingon setting when sales guys walk by.
