iATOM 1176 Pieces Johnny 5 Robot Building Set with Remote Control - Rechargeable, Compatible with Lego for Adults, Tech Movie Action Figure Model Kit, Gift for Halloween & Chirstmas

I love this kit. For anyone who shares my nostalgia for Johnny 5 from the original movies, this will be a sure hit. I was surprised by how large he was and the functionality for the price is excellent. He has a remote and you can also control its the smartphone app although the app is not very user friendly. If I had to give one bit of critical feedback regarding the kit design, it is that his rear wheels are cosmetic and conceal a ball bearing, rather than swiveling as in the design. Otherwise though, the build does an incredible job of making him look lifelike at this scale, and having a remote controlled version that can actually drive around is very fun. Be aware though, he's not all-terrain at all- due to a lack of suspension he vibrates a lot when moving around, doesn't have a lot of power or stability to get over obstacles, and he's quite slow too. I think of him more as posable display model than a toy, and the play features are just a nice-to-have bonus. If you have those same expectations, he will not disappoint!

Bought this for my Son on Christmas. We watch the movie and he loved it so I thought it would be a cool gift. Easy assembly instructions and fun to play with. Head rotates and drives remotely. I recommend this toy to anyone.

This was fun putting together. Maybe there was an update made to the instructions but they were easy for me. Pretty detailed as to what goes where. The colors were a bit hard to tell which colored part was needed because in the booklet the light blue and gray look the same pretty much. Unless that's a big deal to u it may ne a problem. But im not too picky. Had every piece present and got it together and took it for a spin. Definitely worth every penny and better then lego as I'm sure they'd charge 250 or something. Overall a great buy for me personally and it was a blast putting it together and just to see it forming the further along u get is so awesome. I definitely recommend.

This is a very accurate model of the robot. It looks great and mostly fit together well. Some pieces in the torso and neck don't fit securely enough and tend to come apart while attaching/adjusting the head. I didn't try the remote because of the fragility of that torso/neck section. There are also some differential assemblies in the torso and neck that are very difficult to assemble. I recommend using needle-nose pliers.But the model looks great and was mostly fun to build.

I would of loved to been able to review the product however it was missing parts and not able to complete. What was able to build however was low quality and came apart easily. Would not of lasted long.

If you were a big fan of the Short Circuit films from the 80's, and a Lego/Building Block Kit fan, ABSOLUTELY get this set! I've always wanted a toy/rc version of Johnny 5 ever since I saw Short Circuit 2, and boy does this deliver. Sure people are able to produce replicas now with 3d printing and such but it comes at a hefty cost, this does not.I think the price is totally worth it for what you get! I've read some reviews here talking about how parts were missing and the numbered bags didn't go with how the instructions say. They must have updated this product some because I had no issues at all. As big of a Lego nut as I am it takes a lot to impress me with knock-off stuff. I've had other sets in the past like Mega Bloks and such and you can tell the quality is way different from Lego. I cannot say that with this set. I am VERY impressed with the brick quality, besides obviously the Lego logo missing from the bricks, you cannot tell a difference quality wise between Lego and this off brand set.Of course the fact that it's RC is another perk! I recieved and finished the build yesterday and I love it! Sure some of the colors are weird using sand blue bricks for a silver/grey robot but it looks just like Johnny 5. Whoever designed this knew what they were doing with the details. I plan on doing some mods of my own, but even as is, this is an awesome product.If you have doubts about buying this, I can assure you it's worth it and it's top notch. Absolutely no regrets buying this. Everything down to the instructions and numbered bags is nothing less than what I would expect from Lego themselves.

This was so much fun and nostalgic. I hadn't built anything with legos in decades and this was a fun project to get back into it.

I love putting this kit together. The only bad thing is, there was a lot of missing parts. Especially at the end of the project i had no problem getting any replacement for it. But the only thing is that kit was missing just as many parts, I would not suggest getting this. If you want to have a complete part.
