Same here! I got two Cybiko Classics and while they both work OK, one
had one bad battery (all were a little corroded and needed cleaning). I
have 4 new batteries on the way from the same source and expect they'll
work fine.

To the PIClister that originally posted about the Toys'rUs/Amazon
clearance sale -- thanks again!
