Tyco R/C N.S.E.C.T. Robotic Attack Creature - 27 MHz - Green

I bought one of these on auction through another web site. It is fun , easy to use, and its just all around cool. It said in the advertising "sneak up on friends " lol, good luck, even hellen keller could sense this thing presence. It is alot bigger that I expected.

I purchased this RC NSECT for my son for Christmas. Initially looked great out of the box. It is large and looks somewhat intimidating. Movement is fine, and the remote control is logical. Unfotunately, the darts would not fire; it just makes a clicking noise. I contacted Mattel, who told me that the wrong dats were sent with the unit, and that they would ship out the correct ones to rectify the problem (apparently over 3 million had already been sent). Needless to say, the new darts did not improve perfomance, and I ended up returning the product to Amazon. A little quality control from Mattel could prevent disappointing some kids over the holidays

My 9-year old was estatic. The rest of us whom are 50+ grew weary quite early of the extremely loud operation of this toy. On vinyl floors it is nerve-wracking. Although it is a very clever design, with the Nerf darts which come out as a surprise, it is a strickly 'down in the playroom only' type toy. Oddly, it does NOT fare well out on the grass which is interesting as its is suppose to be an insect. And, the 'don't go across puddles' warning seems not well thought out on the part of the engineers of the toy.Operation of the toy is simple enough and not difficult to get use to. Howver, just like the ending credits for a TV production firm-- "Bad Robot".

The first one of these I bought in December was a big hit. Everything functioned properly and kids love it. Keep you dogs away from the 6 foam darts or you'll be looking for replacements:) I tried twice to buy a second one in January. Both were recycled Christmas gifts with missing parts. Amazon accepted both back at no cost to me with printed mailer.

We bought this for our son (7), but the whole family (ages 5 to 80) have really had fun with it. It's movements are very "life like" for a robot, and the darts fly clear across the room. We have found a few glitches where it stops working exactly as it's suppose to, but turning it off and on has fixed those so far. Overall we'd recommend it - lots of fun.

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!

This is one of the most interesting and entertaining Remote Control items I have ever purchased. I have what I call my "Grandfathers' Toy Chest", that I purchase the toys, or relatives purchase them for me, for inclusion in my Toy Chest. (Of Course I play with all the toys before they co in the Chest to ensure their "FUN FACTOR". This way when my grandchildren come to visit the love going into my Toy Chest and playing with the best toys for many years ago.I have many of the "hot toys" furbies, R/C Plane, Helicopter and Boat as well as a R/C Dinosaur and many other toys in the Chest.

this toy was costly, and broke shortly after my child began to play with it. would not suggest you purchase this. look for something a little more sturdy. Boys!!
