Fun but flakey

My 5 yr old son had this for Christmas - he loves the whole Robot Wars idea. Great fun for a while, but within 24hrs the aerial on the remote had been snapped in half and the aerial on the beast had been broken off meaning that its controllable range had reduced to about 5 feet. Also the circular saw and chain saw attachments on the rear end spent more time off and being replaced by dad than they did in-situe. Summary - not ideally suited to robust treatment by your average 5yr old robot wars loving lad - the 5 yrs and up rating is a bit hopeful. Matilda has now gone back to Santa.

Education - Who cares

These toys are not educational. But - who cares! They are fun and that is the important thing. I have been building robots for four years, and I am impressed with this, and all the other Robot Wars, toys. Kids - Get your parents to buy you one right now! The only other way to play with a robot wars machine is build one yourself, and that is not a very wise idea (costs too much - trust me!).

Robot Wars for kids

Alright here we have a "toy" that has come from a programme where they crush peoples pride and joy into little metal lumps! This toy is not educatonal it doesnt do education, but it has got to be the best"robot" for the money unless you want your 5 year old living in the garage with a blow torch! S/Hell soon be challeging the mate down the road for a "drag race" hehehe! Its looks just like the real Matilda(no the robot isnt quite as sweet as the name!) Now im a 13 year old and having a good time rules and if your child has seen the series and you wheel out this for christmas your childis gonna love you no end. In a nut shell I love it all kids should have one and kids if you are reading this you may beg your parents. . . now
