who doesn't love a good bug or two? or three? We bought these for some friend's kid's and they went absolutely ape about these. The bugs lasted a long time and after the kids went to be the adults go in on the action.

We gave to two families with grandkids and three weeks ago and they're still trying to get the little buggers to work. It was impossible to get out of the box and a special small screwdriver is needed to access the battery compartment. There's still hope. It is a great idea.

I ordered this product as a Christmas gift. On Christmas morning we were disappointed to discover that two of the bugs didn't even have the hardware in them to work. They were just empty shells. The one working bug did not work very well. On a wood floor we would have to nudge it to get it going, even when holding the remote control right next to it. I would not recommend this product.
