HEXBUG Battle Spider 2.0 Dual Pack Blue and Orange, One Size

Got this for my 13 year old nephew and it was his favorite gift at Christmas this year

Slow moving...but works as advertised...fun to play with the pair!

Pretty cool. Kind of expensive but my 8 yr old grandson who is hooked on videos of Miners Craft and other computer games really liked it! The only other "toy" he will ever play with are his lego sets. But he loved the lit up eyes and the realistic way these Hexbug's move. He also likes that they shoot at each other. I don't know if the novelty wore off since Christmas, I don't live near him but was a nice present for a picky kid.

I bought these in early October for my 7.5 year old son's Xmas gift - DESPITE the reviews that said they were junk and didn't work. I bought them hoping those people maybe had defective ones but I was wrong! $50 down the drain!! I bought this dual-pack and my friend bought my son an individual spider. NONE of them work. NONE. Only two of the spiders 'worked' and took about three steps and then shut down. This happened REPEATEDLY. Only one of the three remote controls worked for about 30 seconds. And I doubt very much it's because they need "new" batteries as they arrived with batteries inside them that were supposed to be new. At some point when I am calmer, I'll try to switch them out with the extra batteries I purchased to see if it will make a difference. Right now I am way too heated that I feel like taking a hammer to them. Furious that my son was so looking forward to this from "Santa" and Santa ended up giving him a broken toy. The commercial on TV makes them look so cool!! But they're junk just like everyone says! And I can't return them b/c it's way passed 30 days! I will surely update this post if they end up working after I change the batteries, but if this post remains "as-is", you'll know they are simply as crappy as everyone says they are. >:(

We excitedly opened and paired with the controls. It worked for 10 seconds then stopped working. We can hear a clicking sound from the spider. The manual is very minimal and unhelpful. After searching online for non-existent support. I tested the batteries and found that a couple were dead or well below 1.5 volts. Even the included spares were low. Luckily I had some L44 batteries in a drawer. After I changed batteries the spiders worked again. Doesn’t work well. After a few minutes of working, we found that both spiders would begin responding to just one controller. We have to constantly stop playing to re-pair in a different room.

Bought these for my seven year old grandson against my better judgement because reviews were horrible. So far , other than you do need to turn them on in separate rooms or one controller controls both, they seem to be doing great. He really wanted them so I don’t regret buying them.

Grandkids have fun battling these bots. A bit tricky when you first turn on, must do it one at a time or else first one controls both bots. Great fun.

My grandson loved receiving Hexbug Battle Spider for his birthday. It was a great success ! He is going to show it to me when my husband when we next visit him. He is very excited about showing it to all his friends. Great toy and great service. It arrived in time, as promised, for his birthday.

Jouet très impressionnant au niveau technologique, et pourtant, un enfant de 5 ans sait le faire fonctionner!Attention, il faut mieux prévoir des batteries neuves, car celles livrées avec le produit sont ± déchargées!

Deux robots télécommandés qui fonctionnent très bien.Très facile d'utilisation.Les capteurs simulent des tirs avec un système de touche sur le corps des robots.C'est très efficace, mon fils adore, moi aussi...

Los tenemos como el primer día, nos ha dado muchos días de diversión y entretenimiento.

Cominciamo con l'unica pecca: giocando assiduamente le batterie dei mech durano poco ma detto questo i ragnetti si muovono bene, il combattimento realistico, il mech colpito emette un suono e dopo un tot di colpi incassati va fuori combattimento, l'allineamento colpo ragno è realistico.Come tutti i giochi dipende dall'inclinazione del bambino ma questi campeggiano costantemente sulla scrivania tra i giochi pronti all'uso!

Hello my 8 and 5 year old boys have just opened there spider robots but only 1 remote works we have changed the battery and the remote still doesn't work ?
