HEXBUG BattleBots Arena Platinum – Multiplayer Remote Control Robot Toy for Kids – for Boys and Girls Ages 8 and Up

I saw the mixed reviews of people LOVING these, saying their kids played for hours, and others saying you go through a lot of batteries and the bots weren't always reliable. I DID see that people said that customer service is excellent and fast. So we enjoyed this THOROUGHLY for about four days before one of the bots' weapon no longer functioned. We wrote the company and had a replacement in a week. Would buy 100x times again...and stock up on those Kirkland batteries (they are actually duracell!).

My son woke up to this set today and it was like Christmas morning.. we have been Battlebot obsessed for a while now and now it’s like we have our very own bots now! These things are gnarly in all the best Battlebot ways. The saws spin, the arms move, the robots are FAST and they all work just as they do on the show. The fact that they’re decorated and function just like what we see on TV is so exciting for my son because he is passionate about each bot individually. We bought the Duck/Rotator pack and have Tombstone on the way. Very important notes: *remotes must be paired each time they’re turned on. We labeled each remote with the name of the bot and we are leaving the channel set so that we have a remote for each robot and can keep track. Four robots can be paired at once. *To pair, turn on the robot (when turned ON the tires will spin twice, when turning off they spin once. We remember it as HELLO and BYE.” Once the bot is turned on, don’t press any other remotes because the first signal the bot gets will pair, so then just press any button on the remote you’re pairing. *Sawblaze’s motor runs after its weapon stops.. just for a few seconds. Not seeming to cause any issue so far. *There is a difference in the PLATINUM Rivals and the regular Rivals. The Platinum robots (included in this set) are only Sawblaze and Whiplash. No other Platinum bots are offered to buy at this time. The other bots are regular BattleBot Rivals. The difference is the batteries.. Platinum bots recharge and the others take three AAA batteries each (which they come with). Best toy ever, best performance of any toy ever.. we will be on this thing for hours every day!

My kids love this and it's the prefect gift! We just used it for about a month and the battery is still going strong. They have so much fun add quiet hours for me, YAY! Nothing to assemble much so very easy to use. Good value for the money and it makes for a perfect gift.

It worked fine for about 5 day's . It wasn't played with very much and one of the battle botts stopped working properly. It will.move around but it will not attack. I'm not very happy with the quality at all . It's a cool little toy as long as it worked.

I'm writing this review 5 months after Christmas. My grandson is still play with this toy nearly every day. He told me it was the best that he received for Christmas.

Purchased Aug 2024, and after a few battles, the spinner of one of the robots does not work any longer. I recommend not to use this product.

My son loves to watch BattleBots and we finally have every bots available from Hexbug. These two are probably the best made ones, as the batteries are rechargeable and mechanics are more fun with two buttons controlling weapon system. Left one activates vertical spinner while right one moves flipper. I do love these toys and I play with my son with these toys every night before bed. Only wish I have are two: 1. Vertical spinner breaks down somewhat easily - needs constant cleaning as pet hair and dust fills in easily and spinner will stop working. 2. There tends to be about one second delay with movement sometime. Aside from that, I do really enjoy these, and so does my son.

The remotes don’t work.
