GEARS OF WAR 2 Remote Control CENTAUR TANK Review

GEARS OF WAR 2 Remote Control CENTAUR TANK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

Avoid this product as you would avoid a serial killer. Seriously, it is that awful.
I got this Gears of War 2 Cerulean RC Tank somewhere else, a place which claims to have the best buys. They originally offered it as a free bonus with preorder of Gears of War 2, and claimed an MSRP of thirty. They now sell this as a standalone item; my son saw it in the store, I checked the price, was pleasantly surprised it was only ten, and bought it for him.
I loaded fresh, brand new batteries, turned it on, pushed the forward stick, and you should have seen this thing go! Uhhhh, go NOWHERE, I mean. It sat still.
I checked the power switches; they were both on. I picked the vehicle up, pushed the stick, and the wheels moved. Still holding the RC tank, I pushed the stick to turn the wheels. After a half-second or full second delay for each side, the wheels actually turned left and right. Quite a feat for an RC vehicle! Wow, the wheels turned...
Setting the RC back down, I pushed the stick forward. After a second or so, the vehicle moved forward. I applied some left steer, and the vehicle stopped. Releasing the steering attempt allowed the vehicle to go forward again. The same flaw occurred when trying to turn right.
In short, this vehicle is fatally flawed for several reasons:
- it is far too slow in responding
- it is far too slow when moving
- it cannot turn left or right when moving
- when in use, it saps the joy from the soul of anyone within a mile
In summation, this RC tank is no fun at all. If you want to put it on a shelf never to play with it, it may be worth a couple bucks. If you want to crush it with your black leather killing boots, it might also be worth a couple bucks.
But if you intend on getting this to actually play with it as an RC vehicle (or give it to a poor unsuspecting child), I have some advice to make it more Do Not Buy It.
You will be better off going to your local dollar store and buying any piece of junk RC they sell, as it will be far superior to this useless hunk of plastic. Seriously. It's that bad.

Boxing Fighter Robots Review

These were a Christmas gift specifically asked for by our sons, ages 11 & 13. What a disappointment! One of the robots didn't work no matter what we did or how many batteries we changed. The other one worked, I suppose, but the actions it performed were very limited and sluggish, and it, too, died after a very short period of time (about 20 minutes of frustrated use). Definitely NOT worth the money spent. We will be returning it and not replacing it. I'd give it less than one star if that were an option.

Disney / Pixar Toy Story 3 Exclusive UCommand Buzz Lightyear with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Don't pay full retail for this. Get it on sale if you can, it's not worth $70-$80. For some dumb reason I thought I was getting the more impressive, more expensive Buzz robot when I opted to sleep in the Toys R Us parking lot on Black Friday Eve waiting to be the first in line. I managed to get it for 50% off and was pleased with my purchase until my son started playing with it on his birthday. We have carpet throughout our house with a few small, flat flooring areas. Of course you can't use Buzz on carpets so play is limited for us inside the house. We decided to take Buzz outside for a go on the basketball court accross the street at the park. Buzz does ok on the cement if it is not too rough - just don't let him hit a crack and fall over forward or it will scratch the front sensor for the remote control. The biggest problem we had outside was that he is not really made or outdoor play and you have to stand very close to him or the remote control does not work.
I think my biggest complaint is that this Buzz just moves his arms, rolls around, and says phrases (of course the Spanish mode is a plus). When I had Googled "Buz Lightyear Ucommand robot" I found a few reviews and one made this toy sound pretty amazing. After playing with it for a while and a bit more internet research I realized that the review I had read was for the more expensive robot. I think the toy in the review was mistakenly misnamed (or maybe it was on purpose). Don't get confused, this is not the Buzz that understands voice commands or changes from thinking he's a Space Ranger to knowing he's a toy - that's the other one. Overall, my 5 year-old son is happy with this Buzz which is what matters. Maybe I should have saved my money and spent the $150 for the way overpriced, yet infinitely more impressive Buzz by Thinkway. Oh well.

Remote Control Transbotix(tm) Review

The toy looks great out of the box, and works well once it is transformed into a truck. After a little practice, my son was able to maneuver it pretty well. The downside is that the conversion is difficult (at least for my 4 year old and husband), and the antennae is pretty fragile. It was broken within a couple of days of use. For something like this, a more sturdy antennae, for example, encapsulated in rubber, would be a pretty good improvement. Overall, it's a nice toy, but it could be a bit more sturdy.

This car was purchased as the single thing my daughter wanted for christmas "a shiny rc car". The car came with a manufacturer defect. The front left wheel had a junction that was malformed and caused the car to continually turn left. This being the key gift she wanted and it came from the mfg defective...it made for a bad start to christmas with tears. I am now persuing the refund process...but that doesn't get back christmas morning.

My son couldn't wait to get this toy for his birthday. It looked like a lot of fun...and it was, for the 5 minutes it worked (literally - not exaggerating). Then, it seemed to get stuck in "whistle mode". It wouldn't stop whistling and the remote no longer worked. We did everything to get it to work again...different batteries, tried to reset, even took the thing apart to look for bad wiring. Checked the remote. Nothing we did made it work again. I'm going to return it, hope it was a fluke, and try again. I just wanted to see if anybody else had this problem because then I wouldn't bother. At this point, I couldn't recommend it.

Firstly, Rose is a great figure. She looks like Billie Piper and the craftsmanship is amazing. Her elbows aren't articulated, but overall the figure is great and a must-have for any Rose Tyler fans. Now Chip is... well kinda dull. New Earth isn't a particularly play or diorama-worthy episode in my opinion, so he's not that exciting, but Rose is just great.

Disney TRON Legacy: Light Cycle Sam Flynn -- Zero Gravity RC Vehicle Review

Disney TRON Legacy: Light Cycle Sam Flynn -- Zero Gravity RC Vehicle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start out by saying that this toy IS AWESOME, but a lot of reviewers of this product give it a bad rap, because honestly it does have some killing defects. I can see how this would suck if you don't have much patience, or the right place to play with it. Your ceiling or floor has to be smooth and clean or the lightcycles will not work properly. Also, they will run on walls, but only with a very fresh battery, and not for very long. They work best on the ground or ceiling. Other than that they're just awesome. They light up and look really cool and generally work and control very well. While I'm writing though, I'd like to dispel the rumor that they fall off the wall/ceiling when they cross each other's light trails. However, it is very possible to just have them ram into each other and knock each other off. I have had mine since christmas and they have both suffered many falls to various surfaces and still work and even look brand new. These are awesome toys!

WALL-E WALL-E U Command Review

WALL-E WALL-E U Command
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In the package, the U-Command Wall-E looks great, and for the MSRP it's a grood deal too. However, there are a couple of design issues that can seriously detract from the play value of this toy. The worst is that Wall-E is very unstable, which means that unless you are running him on a perfectly flat, smooth surface with absolutely no obstructions around him, he'll spend most of his time on his back like a flailing turtle. This is true even on very short pile commercial carpeting. Also, you should know that since this uses an infrared remote control, the R/C features generally only work if you're pointing the control directly at the U-Command Wall-E. Most kids will not expect or understand this limitation, which may lead to frustration during play.
I still think it's one of the best Wall-E toys made, simply because it offers so many features for the price. And, with a little creative inginuity, you can solve the instibility problem by attaching a small stabilizer to Wall-E's back that will prevent him from falling over while he is dancing, turning, reversing direction, or contending with an obstruction in his path. Once you've overcome that issue, this is will almost certainly become one of your favorite Wall-E toys.

NKOK Halo Battle Tank Scorpion Tank Review

NKOK Halo Battle Tank Scorpion Tank
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really cool toy. It looks great, it moves well enough, the controls are cool once you figure out how to "trim", with the only downside being that that must be done each time you turn on the unit. The rotating turret is awesome. The sound effects CONSTANTLY coming out of the controller are HORRIBLE, just TV static white noise. The main reason however not to buy this toy is that the laser tag functionality which apparently isn't even mentioned on Amazon is total garbage. I bought FIVE of these toys today, and out of the five TWO worked. Yes, only TWO out of FIVE actually are able to both fire and register hits from other tanks. The woman at tech support told me that this is the first they've heard about this problem which I don't believe for a second. Its a really great really cheap toy, and I wish they retailed for $50 instead of $30 and were a bit sturdier and more reliable. It pains me that such a potentially AWESOME toy is really not worth buying because of the vast likelihood of it not working. A valiant effort, but falls short. However if you're just looking for a single RC tank from Halo, its pretty great for the money.

The M808 Scorpion Battle Tank is an anti-vehicular workhorse for the UNSC. Armed with a 90mm High Velocity Cannon and M247 Machine Gun, the Scorpion is more than a formidable match for any Covenant vehicle at any distance. When the UNSC armed forces need to pack a punch on the ground, they hit hard with the Scorpion Battle Tank. Controlled by tri-band infrared technology, the full-function infrared control Scorpion Battle Tank keeps the battle intense with laser tag style combat. With two Scorpion Battle Tanks, players can point and aim the Scorpion's turret to target their opponent and shoot an invisible laser beam. As the tank is hit, one LED light will turn off and it will recoil. After a tank receives four hits, it will be immobilized until it is reset to resume combat. Working front lights allow you to battle in the dark. Authentic cannon firing and engine sounds.

Iron Man Walking Rc Robot Review

Iron Man Walking Rc Robot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just spent a full day helping my four-year-old daughter and one-year-old son play with the Iron Man Walking RC Robot. My daughter loves robots so I wanted to give this toy a try since it has a kid-friendly remote control and the manufacturer claims this toy is suitable for children 4 and older.
First, this Iron Man toy is a very well built amalgam of plastic and rubber. The main body elements (head, torso, arms and legs) are all made of tick plastic while joints and smaller details (such as fingers) are made of hard rubber that flexes under pressure rather than breaking. The fact that the fingers flex and don't break is one of the reasons I'm willing to let my one-year-old son play with this as well.
The only choking hazards on this toy are the four missiles and "possibly" the two shoulder missile launchers. Luckily, you can remove all of those so that there are no potential choking hazards for little kids. Since the shoulder missile launchers can be removed they also fall off the robot if the robot repeatedly falls on a hard surface. The launchers are designed to come off rather than break off which shows the designers were thinking about how kids play rough when they designed this toy.
The IR remote control is a simple two-button controller that has a small nylon strap so that a child can wear it on his or her wrist like a giant watch. The remote is very durable with no tiny pieces to break off and a Philips head screw holding the battery door in place. Since it's an IR remote it has to be in the line of sight with the robot in order to control it (which is a nice way to avoid accidental remote activation).
I really couldn't be more impressed with the durability of this toy. However, playability is another matter.
First, this Iron Man robot is very particular about how its legs are positioned in order to allow it to walk. If the legs aren't in the perfect position the toy will fall over rather than walk. Also, the toy really only walks effectively on hard surfaces like tile or hard wood floors (though that's a common problem for walking robot toys). Another walking related issue is that our robot always tends to walk slightly to the left ... so it walks in a giant circle rather than a straight line. This means my daughter can't make this robot walk down the hall without stopping every two feet to change the direction of the robot. There are only two remote functions that you have with this robot:
1) Walk forward (and slightly to the left)
2) Fire missiles (shoulder and arm missiles)
Since you don't have a reverse, right, or left directional control it makes playing with this toy boring after a few minutes.
The voice in this talking Iron Man robot doesn't sound like Robert Downey Jr. from the Iron Man movies even though this is obviously supposed to be Iron Man from Iron Man 2. That doesn't bother me as much as the fact that it only has four phrases that it repeats in an endless loop.
In short, I really want to praise the durability and design of this toy but it lacks fundamental playability features that kids and adults expect in a remote control toy. Directional controls to make the robot go in reverse and turn left or right would have made this toy MUCH more fun.
