OK, I usually don't do this whole review thing, but I couldn't pass on this one. It's a big price tag heading under many Christmas trees this year. My son pooled all of his recent birthday money and toy savings to buy an N.S.E.C.T. I will start with a positive. The walking feature and tank like controls are very cool. The N.S.E.C.T.'s legs can be controlled independently giving it the ability to turn around in place and is quite fun to drive. That said, the is a lot that can go wrong with a toy like this and we are returning our second today and calling it quits on the whole idea.
Our first N.S.E.C.T. would not fire at all despite the loud clacking noise it made when trying. Our second will actually launch darts in the 3 to 5 foot range (just shy of the 25 feet listed) with a similar loud clacking. Both have had difficulties with raising and lowering the missile launcher. The ridges on the wings seem to catch the edge of the launcher every once and awhile.
This is a complicated piece of machinery with loads of moving parts to give out. Unfortunately, ours won't be staying around long enough to comment on the durability. Beware that it is also loud and cannot walk on hard floors.
If this toy is destine to find its way under your Christmas tree, I would recommend pre-charging the battery (it needs a 5.5 hour charge to start). It is very easy to remove without disturbing much of the packaging. Just open the back of the package and slide the inside structure out. The battery and charger are on the underside.

Two shooting modes allow the N.S.E.C.T. single or rapid fire, up to an alarming distance of 25 feet. It also has working claws for capturing things, and laser-like eyes that change color when it's in attack or explore mode.

WowWee Robopet and Mini Robopet Combo Pack - 8101 Review

WowWee Robopet and Mini Robopet Combo Pack - 8101
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My 5 year old son wanted a robot after playing with a friends WowWee robot. I picked this one because it looked easy to use and it said it did all kinds of things, one of which was it comes out of it's shell the more you play with it. Here we are less than a month since Christmas and it is barely played with these days. The problem is it just doesn't do much, one of the "games" is mocking its movements with the remote, not exactly a fun game. What this robot does do however is go through batteries, the first 24 hours it went through 4 Cs. While not being played with much these day when it is it is a tough toy. It has fallen down a few stairs and been dropped over and over but it keeps going. Good intro for a kid wanting a robot and the price is much lower than some of the others I have seen but now we have it and I know how little it does I see why the price is so low.

Roborover is an agile tread based companion with a shy but inquisitive nature, his personality grows and becomes more confident as you play with him. He is always eager to be on the move or play games with you. The remote controller has a Follow Me function so you can have Roborover search for you. And when it gets dark, he automatically switches to Night Mode activating his headlights to light up his path.

Rescue Heroes Hyper Jet HQ with Exclusive Bonus Offer - C.D. Moon Figure - Robotz Review

Rescue Heroes Hyper Jet HQ with Exclusive Bonus Offer - C.D. Moon Figure - Robotz
Average Reviews:

This is a GREAT toy. The Rescue Hero toys are the best I've seen in a long time. As a mother of five I've seen a lot of toys over the last 20 years, (my youngest is four) These toys are really worthwhile and encourage postive values and real heroism unlike many toys on the market today. To the reviewer whose son was not yet three, your son is still a little young. When kids are about three and a half they really start playing with them, for hours actually. My sons rescue heroes have had numerous long adventures in the bathtub as well (as long as they have no electronic devices) These rescue hero toys are on the top of my list for preschoolers.

This toy is very unique. Though we did have some problems with it at first, we changed the batteries and it worked! This toy can "dance", wave, and can even guard your door! It doesn't work well on the carpet. It has a very helpful instruction book, which tells you what all the buttons do in detail.

Motor Movers Monkey on a String from LEGO Review

Motor Movers Monkey on a String from LEGO
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great toy, like all Legos. The motor seems nicely versatile, usable in as many ways as a kid can think up.
I'm writing this review because I note in the Amazon Editorial Review that the reviewer says "...and a fish (that really swims in water!) were just some of the things you can make."
Because of this, we used our fish model in water and after a couple tries the motor became waterlogged and quit working. After a day of drying out, it started working again, thankfully.
I just got an email from Lego Tech Support verifying that the motor should not be used in water.
I had my suspicions because the User Manual has icons showing "no water" whenever they depict the fish but the Editorial Review here said you could. Only now do I realize (upon a second reading) that Amazon's blurb is not an official toy company description but just an Amazon in-house review perhaps.
At any rate, don't put the motor in water.
Have fun! : )

Exclusive Kidrobot Collectible Vinyl Figure - Yo Gabba Gabba - MUNO Review

Exclusive Kidrobot Collectible Vinyl Figure - Yo Gabba Gabba - MUNO

(More customer reviews)
The Gabba Gabba Muno toy arrived on time and in mint condition but for what I paid for it I expected no less. I believe this toy company to have some of the best and hard to find toys on the market today. It's ashamed that instead of these toys being available everywhere that they have to over inflate the price in order to make money during the recession. That being said, the toy was fun, durable, and a great educational toy for any one who has a child that loves Gabba Gabba. I give it a four star rating. No one's perfect.

Muno might be a little clumsy, but he always means well. This big red bundle of fun is ready to rock out with the rest of the Gabba crew in their quest to teach children (and parents!) how to have fun while learning. Muno is red vinyl and stands almost 10-Inches tall. Each Yo Gabba Gabba! character includes a decal sheet and arrives in a window display box featuring original artwork specific to themselves. Set aside some time to relax and tune in to a kid's show that adults can watch without losing their marbles. Yo Gabba Gabba! toys are intended for gentle play only. If you love them too hard, small parts may break off. Safe for ages 3 and up.

R2 is a great friend to my family.My kids treat him like a living pet. Sometimes he is little bit sensitive,but usually he is very cute and clever. And the super quick delivery from Amazon was quite impressive.

Standing nearly 15-inches tall, R2-D2 is your plastic pal that's fun to be with and a handy aid to navigating your way around the universe. This easy-to-control, hyper-functional droid walks, talks, and responds to your command. Resourceful and adventurous, R2 is ready, willing, and able to serve. He: navigates, patrols, and finds you on his own; guards and protects your room with his sentry room alarm; plays multiple interactive games; remembers and reacts to key Star Wars characters; and more. There's never been a more technologically advanced toy than this one. He's incredible! Some assembly required. For indoor use only. Requires 4x "AA" and 4x "D" alkaline batteries, not included. Ages 8 and up. Tap R2-D2 too hard on the head and he'll make an annoyed whistle and back away. Asked if he remembers Darth Vader, he'll cower in fear. This is one of the most decked-out toys ever with a soda holder, removable sensor scope, illuminating light beam, utility arm, sound-processing microphones, sonar navigational system, adaptable droid mood-status indicator, and sleek rotating dome. He responds to over 40 commands and includes a bonus poster with instructions. You gotta get one of these!
