 A slow start to lots of fun... March 7, 2010

We saw a number of reviews from other vendors saying that the toy didn't work or that it died right away. It looked like we were going to have the same problem, because when we put in the batteries for first use, the toy didn't work. However, after tinkering a little bit, we found out that the battery pack fits in a little loosely. This can cause battery contact problems, but with a little persistence, we got it to work. It runs great now.
My 9-year old son says:"I was worried when at first it wasn't working, but then when I pressed the buttons on the remote, I heard a small noise. Then my Dad said he thought the connections were bad on the battery. Then we got it working!!!!!!!!! Remember to always point the remote at the robot."
It's a great toy for R/C fans!

We bought this little guy and haven't had any major issues getting him to work. Had an initial problem getting the remote and R2 to link together. Solved that by turning both off, then turning R2 on, followed by the remote. My son, 7, really likes this robot and gave him the 5 stars. (I defer to him, since he is the child and owner.) We have a number of other robots (D-Rex, for example) that cost far more money. They are, as you might expect, more "show-y." But this little guy is cute, makes all the right noises from the movie and moves around at quite a clip. My son wants you to know that he lets R2 explore and he has a lot of fun with him.

This worked fine for about 5 minutes and then when my head was turned, I accused my 6-year-old of damaging it, since it was no longer moving. Frustrated, I did purchase another one. Same thing. It wasn't my son -- it was the toy. It stopped moving after 5 minutes and I watched him closely the entire time. No negligence on our part. This toy just does not work. Will request my money back. Not recommended!
 Can't rate it until I get one that works! October 4, 2009

These look so cool! I bought one, put in fresh batteries (4 AA in R2 unit, and 2 AAA in hand held remote), turned it on and....nothing. When I turn on R2, it makes noise for a second or two. I then try the remote to get it to do something, but it's a no go. I wanted it to work so bad! Had to return it. Going to try one more...
