    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThey 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.

    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.

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.

Otherwise this is a great toy for kids of all ages

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThe 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.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBought 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.

    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 🙂

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI 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.

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.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersFor 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.
