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

Four year old grandson loves his battlebots and arena. He loves re-enacting the battles on TV. Controllers and bots can be finicky, but new batteries and learning their quirks is a small price to pay.

A bit fragile but ridiculously fun. Even the adults wanted to play. Just buy it. Rechargeable batteries a requirement.

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.

My 9 year old son wanted an arena to use the Battlebots he already had. We struggled with them on our kitchen floor because we have pets (and dust) household debris would get into the motors and very easily make them stop. With the arena, we're able to use the bots in a different spot in our house and more reliably keep them from encountering the stuff that gunks them up.The two Battlebots that it comes with are pretty fun ones. We've found that these battery operated ones seem to work a little better than the rechargeable ones that are sold separately, so that was a plus for this set.The spinning gear thing on one side is fun and adds some playful drama to your bot fights. Having them containted to the arena instead of all over a larger floor makes it less frustrating as an adult and easier to actually get them to hit each other.My one criticism is that the hammers break kind of easily. My son was enthusiastically hitting my bot with one of the hammers and I guess he hit it a little too hard and the piece on the inside broke, so the hammer doesn't work anymore. Glue wouldn't hold it together, so I guess we hav to live it it.It's quite pricey for what it is, but if that doesn't bother you, it's a fun addition for your aspiring robotics master.

My 8 yr old grandson watches Battle Bots with me and he didn't even know this toy existed. We even had a conversation about how cool it would be to have Battle Bot toys. So, when I learned this exists, I was as excited as he turned out to be on Christmas morning.This is a very good quality toy. It's realistic and HUGE, so there's plenty of room for life-like robot battles. I have zero regrets and I think it was his favorite toy this year.

We were so excited for the boys to get these but sadly have been very disappointed as the bots don’t work well at all. We changed all the batteries and tried everything we can think of but they will only turn on for a few seconds and then stop working. Or when they are moving around the arena some of the parts/attack features on the bots don't work.

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.

Huge win for the kids for Christmas! The love it and have a blast with it!
