BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a fun toy. I bought it for my 6 year old. It does quite a few things and keeps him entertained. The downfall is the battery pack doesn't last that long otherwise it's worth buying.

Broken out of the box
Even though other reviews indicated problems out of the box, my grandson was hooked and thought he had to have it. We chanced it, and sure enough, our bug was one of the broken-out-of-the-box ones too. It is also as noisy as a tank! Surely something I would be telling him to turn off shortly after he has turned it on. Good idea, just does not perform well.

dont give it as a gift, only purchase if you an adult wanting it
what turd, i was wondering why people on ebay sell these things for 32 bucks shipped. mine is defective, first the controls wouldnt work, then after i pushed on the controls harder it started to work slowly. when you first turn it on the gun comes out of hiding, but if you move it forward or reverse then try to take the gun out, it wont come out and doesnt even try. now i gotta sell this POS on ebay as a parts nsect. if not i might take it apart and try to install hobby grade stuff, or at least somehow quite the thing down somehow. it sounds like they put the motors in echo chambers so its as loud as possible.

im 27, what on earth happened to the 9.6v days when they came out with the bandit, and the turbo hopper, now those were quality products, i remember launching my bandit off of a 6ft skateboard ramp that ended almost vertical. the springs popped out, but i just popped them in and kept going.

Worked great with one modification
I love the insect action of this toy. As noted, the missile firing is problematic. It's hard to determine the specific problem from some of the reviews. My issue turned out to be that the insect wings were too heavy and preventing the cannon from fully rising. A quick fix was to unscrew the head plate (three screws), remove the wings (held by two plastic brackets using two screws each), and then reattach the head plate. I wasn't too keen on the wings to begin with, and I like the appearance with the cannon visible at all times. A very fun toy!

One happy boy
My four old son saw a commercial on tv for this toyTyco R/C N.S.E.C.T. Robotic Attack Creature - 49MHZ - Blue. He really wanted it. I found in on Amazon for the best price. I was rather shocked when we received it. I was expecting a small remote control bug, what I got was huge. It is well over a foot long and almost as wide. Imagine my sons surprise when he received it for Easter. He had to show everyone, even strangers. He has learned eye/hand coordination and has loved playing with it. Best money I ever spent to see his eyes light up. I have promised him the other n.s.e.c.t. toys as soon as they become available.
