We bought this for our son for Christmas. So far it's been a fun toy. It's really fast and it moves really cool. I don't think I would pay more than $40.00 for it though. The plastic on some of the parts feels very cheap and breakable. We've only just started playing with it so I don't know how durable it is yet.

My 6 year old LOVES it! My husband wishes he had gotten one for himself too!

I purchased two of these for Christmas this year, so my sons could fight with each other with these. We charged up the batteries and off the kids went. They fought with these for an hour, then my oldest sons triclops died, ok i thought the battery had died so i took the battery out of the one that still ran fast and put it in his, nope wouldnt move. we took it back to the store to get another one and had to instruct the kids not to fight with them so much.

Pros: fast, the laser in the front aims and you hit the buttons on the side of the remote and it hits very close to where the laser is pointed, the battery life on this toy is long. this toy drives sideways, which i think is a very cool feature. lots of fun chasing each other around with these aiming to hit each other with the discs.

Cons: cant play to rough with them, the battery sits deep in the battery compartment and its hard to reach the plastic without pulling on the wires, so I always have to take the battery out for my kids.

overall we are very satisfied with these toys even though one had to be exchanged. they are fast and alot of fun to operate. I definitly would NOT pay the 100 retail price for these. amazon is definitly the cheapest place to buy this toy!!

A total blast, search on Amazon, you might find it for $19.99(color may vary). At that price, a total steal. Kids love this and adults get a chuckle too. Durability might be an issue, but at the bargain basement price, its worth the shot.
