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?



4 out of 5 stars Birthday present for grandson   November 22, 2008
C. Tinkle (Indiana, USA)
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.


3 out of 5 stars If only it was made well   November 16, 2008

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.


5 out of 5 stars Grandson loves the spy car   September 15, 2008

I wasn't going to buy this for my grandson but leave it to Amazon to make it an affordable buy and he loves it, even my son-in-law has fun with it. I am not sure how educational it is but it has taken a few blows from my smaller grand son 2 and is still running all in all a fun toy


5 out of 5 stars Be careful what you do   August 15, 2008

We bought this gift last Christmas for our 9 year old grandaughter. She has just visited us and brought the 'spy car' with her. It's still going strong and is so much fun. She had a sleepover a few months ago and the car was the hit of the party. Just be sure to close doors if you don't want little ones to see what you're doing.

It's educational if you consider learning how to look through one eye as educational!!!
