My youngest son bought this at the local Game Stop with his own money. It ran for about 6 minutes!. Here is a small list of the problems:
1. The battery holder inside of the Mongoose, is so poorly fitted, that even a simple bump into a wall, or over Lego piece will cause it to become dislodged, thus removing power to the system!
2. It is very very slow! Think of a desert tortoise and this toy is half the speed of that!
3. It SMELLS extremely strong of chemicals, I would actually call this thing TOXIC!
4. After 4 dislodging of the batter pack, it no longer operated and smelled even more. I believe that since the battery pack is so loose, that it caused the motor to arc, thus ruining it.
5. For the short time it ran, the range was about 4 feet, and that was with my son lying on the floor, level with it. Well for as slow as it goes, it takes a bit to get to 4 feet away!
6. I would add more yet it did not last long enough.
7. This was the same for both units! We exchanged the first one, and returned the second one, that one lasted 4 minutes, and we never bumped it! Just tried to make my Son happy.
So far every Halo toy that my children have bought/received has been a piece of junk, and they are not cheap! The statuettes are fine, yet they also have the toxic smell. I am no longer going to allow any more Halo branded toys in my household.

I just want others to know--this toy was a lot of fun--my son's favorite Christmas gift. He is nearly 7 and used it carefully, indoors only, and by Dec 26 it didn't work anymore.

What can I say? I'll keep simple. This toy is the worst I have bought ever!!! The mongoose never worked. I had it replaced, because the first one didn't work, and guess what? The second doesn't work either. I read the warnings of other reviewers, and I didn't believe, please believe! I'd never so the value of the reviews as now, always check the reviews before you buy a product, the good ones and the bad ones. They give you useful hints that the producers or the resellers will never tell you. I'll quote the 1 star rating of Amazon for what I think of this toy "I hate it". So please, BELIEVE!!
