Yeah, but it's like that for me wherever I buy from.

Death_at_Midnight Cobra R & D Offline --> Posts: 4,001 --> Join Date: Nov 2008	Greetings! Bought two droids. Target has some 3 3/4" R2 and R5 units that are remote controlled (infrared). They move straight, turn, sounds, lights. The units are better quality than the regular toy. Picked up the classic blue/white R2 droid, and the black R2 empire version. Pretty good for fun at the office. --Death __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

Yes, they do work well. However, movement is simple, just two buttons on the controller: straight and rotate (rotate right i think). The speed is rather quick, especially the turning. Works best on a level surface. The turning/rotation is pretty narrow, so let's say you find the droid up against a wall, when you turn the unit reverses slightly then rotates. Can get out of jams well.

One con: the two main legs do not move. They are fixed/molded into the body. If the angle of the legs were a little more back, it would give the unit more stability when the droid is turning. That turning can be very quick that it can cause the droid to fall over. Not offten, but has happened several times.

Each unit is on a different frequency/band, so you can have one of each and they won't interfere with each other.

Future plans, I hope to buy another black one and paint it Cobra colors. ;-)
