 8 y.o. nephew loves it. Uncle is a bit disappointed in video. September 6, 2006

Pretty expensive but I ended up splurging and getting it for my 8 year old nephew for this coming Christmas. I ended up giving it to him this weekend instead; I wanted to see it go too and couldn't wait 4 months!
My nephew REALLY likes it but, oy!, is the video bad -- what they show in the online commercial is quite a bit clearer and contrasty than what we see in our actual unit. I think the infrared aspect blurs things a bit and its sensitivity is pretty low in any case. You can't read ANY writing thru the video, regardless of size of print, etc. Still, the video link is minimally serviceable (adequate for manuevering with a little bit of practice) and my nephew has a BIG time sitting in his "command center" and sending it out on "remote missions" using only the onboard video link. Seems fairly robust and sturdy so far.
 It's cool....but.......... January 10, 2007

It's great concept for a toy. There's a few issue's that I found personally. First of all it's supposed to be a "spy" car, when it moves its a little nousy not loud but noisy. If I was sitting in a room I could hear it coming. Second, the car doesn't have much of a range on it. I would say a good 15ft. which ain't much in the R/C world. The car starts to get a little glitchy through walls. Once again going back to the "spy" aspect of it. If i'm spying I would like to be able to stay out of sight. I think they should do a little more work on this toy and it would be a awesome toy.

I bought this for my 9 y/o nephew for Christmas he's been wanting it since his birthday. It's seems to be the hottest toy to get right now. I think your price of $399 you are charging is totally outrageous for this toy and whoever buys is it for that price is even more stupid. I bought it at Toys-R-Us for $79. They also have it at Target, Walmart and etc. You must be out of your mind to sell this for that price, It's a cute toy but it's definitely not worth over a $100. Even my nephew agrees with that.

The spy vision remote control car is sooooo much fun! My parents are always playing with it and my dog must think it is some kind of an animal. It is quiet and not too fast so I can control it very easily. I have a very fast RC car and this one is more fun even though it is not as quick. While sitting on the couch I can watch it "roam" through the house and spy on everyone. What alot of FUN!!! I suggest this toy for anyone at anyage.

This thing is on sale for $79 everywhere else. I have no idea why they think they can sell it for $399.
