Great product! I got this for my 8yr old son and he loves it. Good quality. though the set runs on batteries out if the box, it does not drain them nearly as fast as one would think. lots of expansion kits for the product line, including a battery elimination plug that converts the 110v from The wall.
Great gift for those kids that are a bit more... "Intellectual" if a kid isn't wired to be a sports star it your atypical buy, you might as well embrace what they love.
