iATOM 1176 Pieces Johnny 5 Robot Building Set with Remote Control - Rechargeable, Gift for Adults Men, STEM Tech Movie Robotic Figure Model Kit

I have bought other generic building block sets in the past, and it has been a mixed bag. While some are better than others, the reality is that for the most part, you can immediately tell they are not the same quality level as Lego. This is no exception; it still feels less quality. But compared to most I have owned, the quality here is actually pretty good. The pieces feel sturdy and the finished set feels like it can withstand moving it around and posing it. The cell phone-controlled motor is also a super nice addition, it is an incredible good value, comparing it to other building block sets. The instructions could be improved a bit, as they are confusing in several parts, but overall is not a complicated build. The final build is actually very good and sturdy and it really resembles Johnny 5.

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!

A good challenge but not over the top. The remote control feature is nice.

I normally don't write reviews for for the items I buy........... With that said, it's a decent product for the price. These ARE NOT LEGOS! There is no tolerance for the pieces, some are loose fitting while others are extremely tight and you have to force to fit. Generally most snap together just fine. All in all, it's a good piece to add to my collection of "80s nostalgic crap" (my wife's words, not mine). Will recommend but with a warning about the pieces.

So amazing!!!!! And exactly what I thought wish it made noise but same time it moving makes it great as is

As advertised

This thing is cool and im glad I bought it but.... This kit was missing several pieces amd dont make any mistakes because there is no room for error because you dont get any extra pieces. I had to do an exchange to get the missing parts so do what you have to do to get the other pieces.

Cool item
