5Christmas HiTDec 27, 2010
By R. Mazzafero "R. Mazzaferro"
This was my 6 year old son's favorite gift this year. It beat out a DSi XL Nintendo DSi XL Red Bundle with Mario Kart, a plethora of Ben 10, Legos, miscellaneous Star wars items, a few Iron Man items, Wii games/accessories, the new fully auto Nerf Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS, Bakugans(?) including ColossusBakugan Dragonoid Colossus. He was really good after a move from Idaho to Michigan which included starting a new Montessori school.

Pros:
* Really cool how the Hex Bug Nano find their way around the tracks even when multiple tracks are combined.
* Hex bug Nano appear to be "smarter" than the toy really is which leads children image how it works
* Works seamlessly with other sets
* Online aspect to "educational" aspects which would deserve another star if not entirely separate from the hexbug. I really love this aspect, but I do not consider it directly part of the toy's star rating
* Fills the construction needs of the building blocks and combines it with the movement of train sets & hot wheels in addition to a touch of personality (Which desperately needs to be explored in my opinion!) like any good toy that lets you have a personal attachment based on imagination.

Cons:
* After extended periods Hex Bugs will crawl over each other on one way tracks when going opposite directions and be F R E E to roam.
* Hex bug batteries are expensive, however BULK watch batteries which work are dirt cheap about $7 per 100 batteries! AG13 357 LR44 L1154 A76 PX76A 303 D303 D357 - Pack of 100
* Only major pieces are available for individual purchase. Specialty items are unavailable at this time such as one way doors which help avoid collisions/escapes, spirals ramps, and legs for the elevated sections
* Gets loud with 5 on 5 and 6 on 6 on 6 battles

5Great fun, but don't be ripped off by Amazon's third-party sellersDec 05, 2010
By A. Helfer
After checking prices here on Amazon.com, where we do most of our online shopping, my wife headed out to Toys R Us, where this Hexbug track was selling for about 60% of what Amazon.com's third-party sellers are presently charging for it. Do yourself a favor -- check Target or Toys R Us. Don't fall victim to price gouging here.

That aside, it's a great toy. The Nano cruises around, rights itself if it falls over, and runs along the track. Great fun. You get two Nanos with this track. A few more makes it even more exciting. Just make sure you don't overpay for it.

5Hexbug Nano Elevation 3D Habitat SetMay 05, 2011
By homebrew "lager"
Fun product. My child loves it. The set can be laid out in many different ways. Only drawback is that the bugs can drain the batteries rather fast when running for long periods of time.

5Hours of Creative STURDY fun!Dec 31, 2010
By Mr.L
Like I said the kids (ages 5-11 in our house)create zillions of track styles for hours. Easy to snap together, easy to use. I'd buy this set and in the future another just to let them keep adding to the track (even though this is PLENTY of track, in fact it stretches 15 feet or so in length when built). Have fun!!

5Great toy!Nov 14, 2011
By NateJ
Great toy! It's different than a lot of toys out there. We got it for my son when he turned 2. We've had it for a year. The pieces are too hard for a two year old to pull apart, but he's getting better now that he is almost 3. We bought it for a family fun night activity. My son loves to play with the bugs and figure out how they work. They definitely seem smarter than they actually are:) Many hours of fun with this toy.
