Works really well. Haven’t had any issues other than the batteries that came in the remotes were dead upon arrival. So, that was an additional 10 bucks and was frustrating because my 3 yo couldn’t play with it until the day after Christmas. If you are buying it as a gift I recommend getting extra batteries just in case. Also, the middle of the arena board bumps up a bit so the bots get stuck occasionally. I think this will go away with time. Overall it works well and my son loves it.
I got this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! We are having so much fun with it, I am considering buying more robots for the area. It is fairly simple to set up and use and the remote controls are easy to use. My daughter is 5 and manages the remotes just fine.
So I’m just not getting a minute to write a review, my son loves battle bots, so what better way to make him happy for his birthday to buy one of these, so we did. His birthday morning he was so happy, we opened it up put it together the joy on his face was priceless. Now, the bad part is one of the remotes/bots never worked. He was tickled with the one but we was devastated due to we paid out that much money, now our son tore through the box we already put it together, hearing us even mentioning sending it back he started crying. So that was out but, I guess I’d tell parents to check it out before letting the kids see.
Awesome product very realistic age says 8+ I play it with my four year old and there are no issues
I bought this as a birthday gift for my grandson and it’s at his house
Grandchild loves it. But they forgot to pack the other remote. Apparently the company has forgotten to pack it for three years.
While the stickers have started to peel, this thing is surprisingly sturdy and fun. Remotes work great and its a fun game.
Bought as birthday gift for my grandson and he loved it. He and his friends enjoyed it for hours.
Great gift for my 8 year old daughter. She loves it!
A mi hijo de 8 aos le ha encantado ya que ve el programa en la tv.Aunque es dificil hacer que casa robot vaya con su mando y no interfiera
Genial!!!
Tanto nios como adultos pueden pasar muy buenos momentos con la arena de juego con los robots. 100% recomendable
My grandchildren were thrilled to watch and play with this
My son loves this set. I helped him assemble it and the quality is great. The hammer things in the corner don’t really do any ‘damage’. But my son excitedly bashed them and found it funny to hit my robot!
This is great easy to make and is just like robot wars my little boy loves it. Uses it with spider wars too, well made item.
Christmas morning and our two sons, ages 8 and 13, have been playing with the battle boys arena ( and 2 other bots that we also purchased) for hours now. This is the only gift they are interested in. Lots of fun. No problems with setup and function of remotes.
Terrific child’s toy but batteries included in the remote were flat so could not play with on Christmas Day. Disappointing.
I got this for my nephew and he absolutely loved it!
The boys are loving this they haven’t stopped playing with it yet!!
I bought this for my son’s tenth birthday a couple weeks ago. It is a lot of fun. The bots seem well made. My husband and I even play it after the kids go to school.
I’m going to buy one for my seven and thirteen year old nephews for Christmas.
BattleBots function best in confined space, we love using it. Has manual hammers that can be used to help win. The side inserts keep the parts from flying too far away.
Ordered for nephew for his birthday & he loves it. Arrived in time and good quality, easy to assemble.
Has hours of play-ability he still like it from last X-mas
My son loves this and has purchased two more bots to fight with.
great product i recommend it but not the separate battlebots
We love this in our home hours of fun and entertainment it’s fun for children and parents just like the show
Present for grandson. Needed a bit of work as some of it was fixed together wrong but it was sorted in the end and grandson was happy
Okay so my kid likes it a lot, I had to modify mine a bit as the IR sensor on WichDoctor was skewed which made the body stay on no matter how many times it was hit (just bent it straight and rounded a sharp edge. hence the removal of 1 sta
great birthday present – entire family got in on the fun.
They are so much fun with both of them having their strengths and weaknesses. I do worry about the motors getting damaged due to them being powered but unable to move, especially the motor for Tombstones spinner. For example during play Tombstone will get pinned against the wall, and the spinner will be unable to spin. The idea is great and I would recommend the toy to anyone.
Purchased this for my daughter for her birthday, fun game and makes for fun family time when we all play!
I bought mine Used – in Acceptable condition through Amazon it said
Item has major cosmetic damages but is still usable. Large cosmetic imperfection(s) on the interior of the item. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged
the only thing we could see that was wrong with it is somebody took it out and put it back in the Box the board was bent up because it was placed back in the Box wrong.. that was an easy fix not a big problem.. robots work everything works… everything That was supposed to be there was ….
very happy
I bought this for my grandson who just turned 7. He loved it and even bought 2 more vehicles out of his birthday money.
For big kids and small, really fun to play with.
Although I had to return our original item due to a missing controller, this is a great play set and hours of fun can be had with it. It’s a shame that there is limited supplies via Amazon of the other robots that can be purchased. Yes the controllers are on the small side and a little tricky, but the fun more than makes up for this little fact. Yes, it’s a little pricy, but worth it if you can buy it via a sale price, and yes, it can appear flimsy in places but if you can buy it for the 50 mark this in my opinion is a great buy.
I bought this for my son’s 6th birthday and he loves it. Him and his dad sat and battled for hours
FUN LITTLE TOY FOR JUST HAVE SOME FUN….. MY KIDS WILL LOVE THEM I KNOW I DO…..
Perfect gift for my son for Christmas! As long as you follow the pairing instructions, it is easy!
Kiddo loves it. Easy to put together. Took a minute to figure out how to set up remotes. Make sure they both aren’t in the area when turning them on.
This was one of the best Christmas presents this year. Don’t buy individual robots. Buy this and you have the arena contained and a space for them to play in. The track didn’t fit perfectly in the spaces provided when connecting the frame to the floor, but I’d still buy again.
Absolutely fantastic!! My father and I who have been Robot Combat obsessed since I was 2 (I’m turning 22 next week lol) have just spent about 2/3 hours fighting these in a makeshift arena! Also purchased the Beta and Minotaur models from Hexbug’s website for added fun. Only wish with these would be for more models to become available! (Battlebots or Robot Wars). Once again – truly fantastic!
First one broke first time grandson used it.Returned it no quibble,New one ordered was fine
Me and my 9yr old son have had hours of fun with this battle arena, it’s similar to the show including two hexbots and controllers. The controllers need to be synced to their bots one at a time however as they can both be linked to one hexbot. We are waiting for more hexbugs to be released to increase the fun.
Grandkids love it. The arena is a little flimsy and works best if glued to a stiff corrugated board or thin wood base. Bots haven’t broken after several weeks of use.
Son loves this! Perfect gift and is holding up well.
Gave this to my 9-year-old Robot Wars-fan for Xmas and she loves it. I’m impressed at how sturdy the robots are. I thought it was expensive for what it was, but she seems to have enjoyed it a lot.
Bought this for my robot wars mad son for Christmas and he loves it. Batteries don’t last very long but are easily replaceable. Had hrs of fun playing against each other. The controllers are easy to programme to specific robot and after they have been “destroyed” they go back together nice and easy. You can buy additional robots (comes with 2) so you could have more players. Took about 10 minutes to build the arena.
one of the best christmas presents ever! but the controllers are insanely small.
Great size, works good, my 8yr old love it, it’s fun to play with him also
My 6 year old loves this show and has had a blast playing with these
Loved by all the boys in the family – including my husband. Lots of battles have taken place and it works very well. So easy to put all the magnetic pieces back on when they get knocked off. Lots of battles have been had.
Massive hit with adults and children, only thing stopping me giving it 5 stars is the card arena floor has bevelled up in the middle. This makes the robots stop in the middle because the wheels dont touch the floor. Gets annoying!!!
Sco
Grandsons loved this gift. In great condition and arrived on time. No problems
Bought this for our 8 year old at Christmas. Spent hours playing it with him as it’s so much fun! My only gripe is with the arena which is folded down the middle and creates a lump through the centre of the arena floor. The battlebots occasionally get stuck on the fold line. Otherwise this is a great toy for kids of all ages
If I could give this toy another star, I would! Being a fan of the Battle Bots show on the Science Channel, my grandson and I absolutely loved playing with this! Some who have never seen the tv show would not know that they are SUPPOSE to break apart! Watch the show…become a fan. I only wish I had videos of my grandson’s excitement when he got this from under the tree!!!
his was my sons favorite present. He was disappointed that the hammers and choppers we not automatic but then again he was shocked that it dint shoot the flames that the arena does on TV. Either way him and his friends played for quite a while on these things. You have to keep on them to not louse the little parts that fly off. each one I think has 3 parts that will come off them.
Bought for Christmas and it is a big hit! Great quality and provides tons of fun for my 5 year old son and I to battle each other!
My 8 year old great grandson loved this game and it was easy enough for us older folks to play with him. We felt it caused more interaction between players than video games. He is already asking for more bots.
A present for my grandson at Christmas – so far all
the family, especially the generation that remembers the original Robot Wars, love this.
There is one downside – manufacturers please note:- there is only one set of robots available for this, whether in this set or bought separately. You can not buy different robots to battle, and that’s a big failing. We don’t want to battle Hexbugs! Please introduce more battle robots into your range!
5 stars remains though because this set is so much fun.
This is a fun toy. The concept is cool, the arena is decently made. Since it was a hexbugs product, I knew the actual bots would be pretty cool, which they are
Anthem; Consumer Advocate This is a lot of fun and really works well so far. Pretty expensive for what it is, however, it is a trendy toy. Know that some of the BattleBots tend to have a distinct advantage over others when fighting. Have to kind of take turns with the bots to be fair.
One word, Awsome! Really impressed,, took a gamble,, stole the show on Christmas morning!
These are a lot of fun and the grandsons enjoy playing with them. The arena is a bit basic but works ok – tho personally, I like the tarantula pack better!
My son and husband like it. Got it in November as a Christmas gift, opened Christmas day and one of the hammers was broken off. Still works, I disappointed though for how much I paid for it. Doesn’t seem to bother my son or husband
The hit of the day. It was for our grandson and he and his brother played with it all Christmas day. They LOVED it. It was easy to put together and seems sturdy. Time will tell.
Brought this as a present for my grandson he loves it.
Battlebots has been a good Christmas present to keep my 10 and 8 year olds amused. They are fans of Robot Wars on TV so have very much enjoyed playing with this toy. Would have got 5 stars if the 2 battlebots included with the Arena were more equally matched. The Witch Doctor is harder to strike the armour off to win the battle, Tombstone looses it’s amour pretty easily, so generally won’t win. We’re looking forward to being able to buy more robots when they become available.
The kids have played with this all day. Once you figure out how to pair the controllers with the correct bots it’s straight into battle. We figure that the winner of each round is the one that knocks off all of the other bots armour.
The bits do fly quite a distance so you do spend a fair while searching. Anyhow it’s a great little game and my 9 and 12 year old boys love it.
Loads cheaper then buying from the shop…. Quality toy for the kids too!! When I let them have a go!
does what it says on the tin – or rather, in the arena
The toy exceeded our expectations. It does a good job of replicating the real battle bots in a toy format.
Great fun although we did find that we needed to get a fresh set of batteries for one of the controllers as the ones that came with it were flat after about 10mins.
This is a present that will no doubt be thoroughly enjoyed!
My son just got it tonight and he LOVES it BUT the game board has a huge lip in the middle so the robots can’t cross on their own….that’s
my only complaint and hoping we can get a new one.
Didn’t realise when ordering that these would be big battle bots I expected the tiny hex bug size when these are much better around 5 inches. Kids were very impressed and love playing with this!
Marshall just loved it and is still playing with it daily.
Thank you so much
Expensive but well worth the money, my grandson loves i
This is a GREAT toy. My sons – age 12 and 10 – have spent hours battling each other and their friends.
Very happy grandson!! He loved it and I love that it arrived when it was suppose to!
My boys love this. Pretty cool since parts do pop off just as they do in Battlebots
Grandson (10 years old) Was over the moon for this birthday gift. I also remembered to order extra batteries, which made me the bestest Grandma!
Bought this for my 11 year old son. He loves it! The pieces can fly out of the arena. Also, the directions on the box aren’t very specific about syncing the bots/controllers. Make sure to have the remotes on different channels and it works best to take them in separate rooms so both bots don’t get synced to one controller. Luckily for us, the customer service department is very responsive and sent us a new controller for free.
Very good, works well, and lots of fun. Make sure to keep good track of the pieces 😉
I’m a huge Battlebots fan so when I saw there was a miniature “battle box” just like on TV I had to buy it! It’s the coolest thing ever. You get with it your very own remote-control powered witch doctor and tombstone. The name of the game is to battle it out and send the other robots detachable armor flying! You can even try to defeat your opponent with the pulverizers-just like on the show! Word of advice, buy some extra button cell batteries in bulk so you don’t run out of juice 🙂
My son loves this, it was a birthday present that he desperately wanted. I was a little sceptical as the reviews weren’t great and it’s very expensive, but even I love playing it with him.
My son loves this. Fun to play and is perfect size
I almost didn’t buy this because of the mixed reviews. I’m so glad I did though! It seems to be well made, bots comes apart as it should during battle… the arena is a lot better quality than I was expecting! I wouldn’t buy this for a younger kid (5ish) but my 11 & 12 year olds LOVE IT!! I recommend this 100% idk if other reviews were too young or just had a fluke bad set but mine is perfect!!
So far so good. Lots of fun! Really scaled down version of battle bots. Great family fun! Only qualm is it takes a watch type battery. Now they have lasted at least 5 days so far. But we all know how these are a pain to deal with.
I have the original arena with the air pressure bots but this is as close as you get without actually making your own bot and putting it into a battlebots arena. The controls take a lot of practice but I love being able to knock pieces off which my bot’s weapon. I’m ready to buy more bots and have a battle royal. The two hammers were mandatory and work very well. Unlike the original arena, there are no buzz saws in the floor which would’ve made for an interesting hazard during battles but other than that, no complaints. Great detail, easy and fun to build.
I got this for my kids for christmas. Both bots still work! My only reasons for not giving 5 stars is the bottom of the arena does not lay completely flat where it is bent in the box. Because of this, the bots snag on the center sometimes. Also, a match only lasts like 10sec before one (or both) bots have all their pieces knocked off.
Got this for my husband for his birthday and he loves it! Very fun to play with. Joping they come out with more battle bots.
My nephew enjoyed it a lot…Amazon was able to delivered it a day ahead of schedule. Thumbs up for a great toy and service
For what it is, my son and i have a lot of fun with it! The quality of the board or arena could have been better but for the money it was a good buy and made my son happy!
I really didn’t expect this thing to be as fun as it is. This toy is really well designed. The arena is a great reproduction of the real thing. Sure it’s plastic and cardboard – but it’s a nice solid quality. The bulletproof windows are a nice and useful touch (pieces do go flying).
The robots are quick, agile, and challenging to drive (due to their speed). They are designed to have a few “breakaway pieces”. Witch Doctor has 2 pieces that snap off its plow as well as the top cover. Tombstone’s top cover and two rear panels come off as battle damage.
They each feature a spinning attack weapon – which are not very strong but fun to control. The remote allows you to turn the spinning weapons on and off via a button on the controller. The robots are controlled with similar controls as a RC car. front/back direction and right/left. Nothing pressed = no motion.
I bought this for my son’s 7th birthday. We watched the TV show and he loves this toy. We spend time battling it out. We switch robots to ensure a balanced play. We came up with the rule that once the top cover flies off, the robot is KO’ed. Tombstone’s top cover tends to be a little easier to knock out. Overall, this is a great rendition of the functionality of the stars of the show and the arena. Great playability. This is a really enjoyable fun toy. Great design.
For Battlebots fans, this is a fun game. Has some gliches, but most are fixable. My 10 year old wanted this for the holidays. I think he might actually be a bit old for this toy. A Bot is destroyed when you knock off three removable pieces – not much to the strategy for debilitating a bot. Perhaps a bit more age appropriate for 7-8 year olds.
Grandsons got it for Christmas and they loved it. Here it is 2 weeks later and not sure how long the batteries lasted from Christmas day. Some other reviewers were iffy on this so I took a chance with it. We love the tv show and the boys seemed to love it 6 and 7 1/2.
The kids are loving this game and the bots seem to go easy on the bateries.
Saw this on the Today show and ordered it. Never heard of it before that day I saw it on tv. My grandkids loved it. Great buy!
My boys love this set and are having a lot of fun with it. I told them to be careful with the little remote control because they are so small. We have had no issues. Great purchase. Thanks
My 13 year old lovessel this. It was challenging to assemble, but once we got past that and play time was on, it is a fun item which works great.
This family loves it! If you are a Battlebot fan it’s worth the $! Thank you Hexbug for a great toy!
