It is a VERY impressive looking toy, but it is so hard to transform, that Bumblebee has sat on a shelf as a display since December. Seriously.
I don't recommend this unless you are going to use it as a display like we did. I don't know who designed this for kids.
This was the highlight of "Santa's" shipment. Out of curiosity, my husband put it together as "fast" as he could - 30 minutes.
It is very well made and neat looking though. My son almost cried with excitement when he saw this.
The only crying my son was doing after he opened it was out of frustration.
My son who is 6 loves this toy but is unable to transform it properly by himself. This toy is awesome but is not for a child to transform. Once you know the proper sequence on how to transform from a Camaro to Robot and vice versa it is very simple.
at the now generally advertised price of [.]. We paid [.]. so don't spend an additional [.]. Don't waste your money on this. It's definitely not worth it. It is impossible for even my husband to transform it perfectly and therefore it does not work properly. We purchased this toy for our son for Christmas. It takes 20-25 minutes to transform and then it continually pops out if you play with it.
I was ready to bury it in the garbage can and I was yelling at Santa Christmas morning. I have strongly discouraged my son from trying to transform it again. It is rated for ages 5+ and over. I thought I was purchasing a remote controlled Transformer. Very expensive toy to not be able to use. This is very hard to transform and my son, who is six, is unable and not patient enough to do it. My cousins little boy had one like that. I had to visit a nephew in his late 20's who used to play with transformers and have him transform it into a car.
When my husband had trouble transforming it, I started to worry. Perhaps it should come with a teenager to show the little ones how it works.lol. The toy itself was great. It seems to be very difficult to figure out. All in all, he loves it. It works well with a childs's dexterity. However, my grandson is 6years old, and pretty bright.
