Halo Radio Control Mongoose with Master Chief Figure

Reader Reviews
My youngest son bought this at the local Game Stop with his own money. It ran for about 6 minutes!. Here is a small list of the problems:1. The battery holder inside of the Mongoose, is so poorly fitted, that even a simple bump into a wall, or over Lego piece will cause it to become dislodged, thus removing power to the system!2. It is very very slow! Think of a desert tortoise and this toy is half the speed of that!3. It SMELLS extremely strong of chemicals, I would actually call this thing TOXIC!4. After 4 dislodging of the batter pack, it no longer operated and smelled even more. I believe that since the battery pack is so loose, that it caused the motor to arc, thus ruining it.5. For the short time it ran, the range was about 4 feet, and that was with my son lying on the floor, level with it. Well for as slow as it goes, it takes a bit to get to 4 feet away!6. I would add more yet it did not last long enough.7. This was the same for both units! We exchanged the first one, and returned the second one, that one lasted 4 minutes, and we never bumped it! Just tried to make my Son happy.So far every Halo toy that my children have bought/received has been a piece of junk, and they are not cheap! The statuettes are fine, yet they also have the toxic smell. I am no longer going to allow any more Halo branded toys in my household.
