This was just our experience, we bought two while at the park last October. One we gave our son and one we hid away for Christmas. The first one broke before Christmas ever got here. Hes not to rough on toys and Im not entirely sure what's wrong with it we have tried a few things to fix it watched a few you tube videos and such. The second one is still working, but he doesnt play with it much with out the second one to battle its just an RC spider really. My youngest enjoys the disney jr show and he plays with it, but more as an action figure he never actually turns it on. so I dont feel they were worth the expense personally. We go to the parks once a year and they are allowed to choose one item this was oldest choice that year, year before he chose the droid depot experience he played with that longer and I felt like at least for that cost you get the experience of building it. All that being said this is just my objective opinion and experience
