This thing is on sale for $79 everywhere else. I have no idea why they think they can sell it for $399.

I have to wonder if anyone associated with the packaging of this toy actually has children. This was the MOST frustrating packaging I have ever encountered (and I have two daughters who love Barbie, so that really is saying something). We actually had to purchase a new screwdriver to unscrew the plastic backing from several of the screws they used to bolt the product to the box. None of our Philips screwdrivers worked. I would recommend that this company review the memories they wish to create for the holidays. We spent two hours of our Christmas Day trying to get this noisy supposed “spy car” out of the box. Finally, we had to give up until the next day when the hardware store reopened. Do not buy this product unless you have a really expansive tool set and a great deal of patience.

turns out after 2 hours of messing around my cordless phone was making me think this product was defective. although not impressed with the video quality of the IR Camera this still is a very cool toy i wish was around when i was a kid.
Pro- very cool concept
Con- takes AA batteries (and a lot of them) come on how long have we had rechargeable batteries?

My son received this for Christmas. The first car would not even move or shoe that it even had power. The replacement that was sent was without the night vision (which was on the first car). but it did moved in about 1/2″ jerks. Never smooth and the eye peice was nothing but “white”. I gave up and requested a refund. My son has been terribly disappointed. I called Wild Planet for 2 weeks before I received a response 1 week after my last call. All the tech reviews of this product were positive. I guess I just got a “lemon” evidently 2 of them.
