HEXBUGBattleBots Arena MAX, Remote Control Robot Toys for Kids with Over 30 Pieces, STEM Toys for Boys & Girls Ages 8 & Up, Batteries Included

Christmas gift for my grandson. He was excited and loved it

Alright, I know what you're thinking. Mancave addition, this guy can't be serious..Yes Indeed I am 120% Serious. In fact I am so serious I had to buy another one of these off Ebay so I could piece the two together to make it bigger. I get my 3 buddies together on weekends and we have some drinks while playing. I've honestly got every bot that's been created to this date and it's a load of chaos. The entire time we'll be screaming and smashing into each other to play for things like shots or even watches that we bring. The two bots that come with the arena are quite impressive. The Build your own bot isn't the best by any means but if you actually get into these hexbugs- look at some more of the BYOBs they offer to increase your playability with friends. I have 4 Custom bots along with all the attachments. It is honestly refreshing to have the capabilities of swapping out weapons and armor just to enjoy the same machine in a different form. I honestly can't recomend this purchase enough for guys who have 1-3 friends who are just looking for a reason to drink or shout.

Our grandson loves the arena, but the bots do not stay paired to their remotes.

Very fun! The robots that come with this set are double A battery operated, and they STINK! Do yourself a favor and get the platinum battle bots, they are rechargeable and much more powerful. The robots do have a small reaction delay due to the conroller connection probably having too small of an antenna. These robots really fall apart but have magnetic connections to rebuild and destroy again, the kids are having a blast! The only thing that could make it better is if HexBug gives more platinum battlebot options and upgraded contoller option because it could be better.

Great fun for the family.

My nephew really liked ...

Tombstone does not work at all! Remotes do not pair no matter what, so after one minute of play the bots stop dead in their tracks. One hammer broke 10 minutes after play, and my kid and his dad are not rough. Very cheap plastic. It was my son’s birthday present and he stayed strong but after a while went to his room weeping. My heart breaks. Awful toy! Not giftable! Not sure why reviews are not much worse. Returning.

It’s a great arena for using battle bot fights. It is a little time consuming to put it together and we left it together because of the plastic to pull them apart. I don’t think it would be a sturdy. The instructions are a little confusing, especially how to change channels on the BattleBots when you buy more than the two they give you hi granddaughter and grandson loves playing with him.
