 Nano Bugs, small price for lots of fun November 27, 2009

Ok, so let me review the bug first, then my giggle at the price on this page...
We got this for my son....it's intended for a christmas gift, so no I have opinions to post from my four year old...BUT my hubby and I are like big kids..lol. And this thing is the real deal, it does exactly what it says. While it runs around, at very high speeds I should mention, it flips itself over, easily rights itself again and it's almost CREEPY how much like an actual bug it looks!!! The batteries for this are the cheap LR44(or the ones that substitute as the same thing, $2/8 at a dollar store that's local to me). The colors are vibrant, they work well ONLY on hard surfaces (we tried both our couch and carpet), and it runs well off the given battery included already installed. I highly recommend it to parents and people with cats.
NOW...to giggling over amazon's price...I paid 7.99 minus a coupon, so really $3 at a very well known toy store (that make it clear enough?)...and it's not like these things were flying off the shelf, I picked this up not even two weeks ago, on the last day of the sales week that they were in the flyer there. I live in a very popular region of my state and still had no problems getting there. So check your local TRU before ordering here...save yourself 4 bucks!
Tons of fun! November 28, 2009

Sometimes I get more excited about a toy than my kids. I saw this online and watched a lot of videos on YouTube. I could not help but to get myself one.
The main mechanics in this toy is the vibrating motion. But that is not the amazing part, this toy moves like a real bug. It goes forward and turns depending on the terrain. No problem if it bumps into walls, it just turn and just keep on going and going. Even if you lay it on its back, it just picks up itself like a cat. It just won't run on carpet though. Battery included. Made in China.
There are so many creative things you can do. We built a Duplo obstacles with tunnels, and a labyrinth of puzzles. It just goes to every niche and nooks it can get where it feets bring him. If you put it on the floor, it just runs around everywhere, goes in and out of furniture. My 5-yr-old son even put it inside a box of cereal when I was not looking. I have to dig deep to find it as it burrowed itself into it. Tons of fun. My son now carries it everywhere like a real pet.
The feet and the upper part of the bug are made of rubber. It has 12 legs, 6 on each side. It looks very durable unless somebody intentionally steps on it like a roach. The lower part of the body where it houses a single AG13 button battery is made of hard plastic. The on and off switch is also located there. My son is playing with this almost 2 days nonstop and I am surprised that the battery still going strong. I already ordered a set of 20 batteries for less than three dollars from Amazon.

The HEXBUG Nano is a super cool robotic toy that easily entertains both children and adults. These little robots are small but wickedly fast. My husband and I were pitting them against each other and I felt like a kid again. We were so engrossed in our competition that before I knew it, an hour had passed. It was fun to watch them and see how they react to different objects. I kept wishing that they would spring to life and start talking. Maybe I like the Transformers movies a little too much... I had a great time playing with these and I think they would make an excellent Christmas present.

I am a teacher and in the summer I teach Robotics and I also run a Science Camp. Most of my purchases for the camp are more expensive items... things in the $50-$200 price range. I bought this on a whim thinking it might be a little fun. I truthfully didn't expect much from it. Around the same time, I bought a Wowwee Mr. Personality (MSRP $250), a Wowwee Tribot (MSRP $99), and a small Innovation First 6 legged walker (I forget the name of it - MSRP $14.99).
Out of all of these robots, the tiny, inexpensive ($8.15) bug gets the most play and the most attention. My students are in awe of it and we have had many discussions of how it is constructed and how it works.
I've dropped it several time and it always continues to run. If it is flipped on its backside it'll turn itself over in moments. The only place it struggles running it carpet. While it still vibrates, it does not move forward much when it makes its way to a carpeted surface.
At any rate it is one of about 20 different robots I own and it is both the cheapest and the best. I found a birthday gift for all of my nephews as well!!
BEST Electronic Toy for Cats EVER!! December 14, 2009

We bought two of these on a whim to see if our four cats would like them. There's nothing for them to bite off or ingest, they're too large for them to swallow, and I was intrigued. We chose red because cats see red as black, like a real bug. I opened up the package and turned the little thing on in my palm, and it immediately began vibrating like a buzzing cicada! I dropped it onto the hard floor and the cats came running and started chasing it around, trying to figure it out. They batted at it, it flipped, clickety-clattered, jittered, righted itself, and sped off all over the place. The cats liked it so much they even blocked the kitchen closet door so it couldn't get under there and "escape!" We put them away after 15 minutes, and the cats started begging for them again a short while later. They love it! The price can vary a little depending on where you buy it, and you can get batteries for them pretty easily. Over the years I've bought electronic toys for our cats for more money than this little gadget, but none of them have ever held our cats' attention and they've been too annoying to us to keep them on for long. This one is definitely a winner! This is also good if your cat is bored or overweight and could use some fun and stimulating exercise, but keep it to about 15 minutes or they could overdo it since this thing is so fascinating to them.
