Cheap Junk!,

My youngest son bought this at the local Game Stop with his own money. It ran for about 6 minutes!. Here is a small list of the problems:
1. The battery holder inside of the Mongoose, is so poorly fitted, that even a simple bump into a wall, or over Lego piece will cause it to become dislodged, thus removing power to the system!
2. It is very very slow! Think of a desert tortoise and this toy is half the speed of that!
3. It SMELLS extremely strong of chemicals, I would actually call this thing TOXIC!
4. After 4 dislodging of the batter pack, it no longer operated and smelled even more. I believe that since the battery pack is so loose, that it caused the motor to arc, thus ruining it.
5. For the short time it ran, the range was about 4 feet, and that was with my son lying on the floor, level with it. Well for as slow as it goes, it takes a bit to get to 4 feet away!

I just want others to know--this toy was a lot of fun--my son's favorite Christmas gift. He is nearly 7 and used it carefully, indoors only, and by Dec 26 it didn't work anymore.

This review is from: Halo Radio Control Mongoose with Master Chief Figure (Toy)
What can I say? I'll keep simple. This toy is the worst I have bought ever!!! The mongoose never worked. I had it replaced, because the first one didn't work, and guess what? The second doesn't work either. I read the warnings of other reviewers, and I didn't believe, please believe! I'd never so the value of the reviews as now, always check the reviews before you buy a product, the good ones and the bad ones. They give you useful hints that the producers or the resellers will never tell you. I'll quote the 1 star rating of Amazon for what I think of this toy "I hate it". So please, BELIEVE!!
