Cool But not that cool
turns out after 2 hours of messing around my cordless phone was making me think this product was defective. although not impressed with the video quality of the IR Camera this still is a very cool toy i wish was around when i was a kid.
Pro- very cool concept
Con- takes AA batteries (and a lot of them) come on how long have we had rechargeable batteries?
Birthday present for grandson
My soon to be nine year old grandson had only one request from me for his birthday....the spy robot car. "But," he told me, " how much can you spend....they are [...]!" He was pretty close to correct and I try to keep my birthday gifts for 9 grandchildren at around [...]. When I started looking for the product on line, it was over [...] everywhere except Amazon. I got it for closer to [...]. I was pleased and he was thrilled with his gift.
If only it was made well
This toy is so much fun... when it works. The boy that I work with got his for Christmas last year and it was so cool... for a week. Then the wheel fell off and the parts were so tiny that we couldn't them. It was a very expensive piece of trash. I then bought my daughter one thinking that it was just a fluke that his was junk. However, when my daughter's spy car arrived the video camera was faulty and we got no picture through the glasses. I think that if they put as much thought into the production as they did into the concept it would be amazing, however, I think they need to go "back to the drawing board" and get it right.
