![]() Spinmaster Micro RC Terrain Titans Fox Mini Blue $17.99 I have read all the reviews & I knew before we got one of these cars that they had issues. I would have to say that most or all of the 'issues' are things an adult or older child can easily deal with. I would not recommend this toy for a younger child UNLESS they have a lot of parent support to help them get this car back on the road. Our biggest problem is that it has little tiny gears that fill up with pet hairs. It just takes a minute to pop the back wheels off & clean them out but it isn't a job for a small child. We have also accidentally bumped the channel button - it took us a few minutes to figure out why it didn't work. The car also has a time out after 3 minutes, after which you have to turn it off & on. Other than those, minor & expected issues - it is an awesome little RC car! Our whole family has enjoyed this, including our cats ;o) I would definately recommend this for an older child or adult who reads the manual ahead of time & understand that it is a little delicate machine that needs some periodic maintenance. It is not for a child that will drop it in the toy box or leave it laying out on the floor - one step would shatter it for sure. So, for the right person, this is an awesome toy but for the wrong person, this could be fodder for a landfill...do choose this item wisely & read all the reviews. There is nothing inherently wrong with this item, it is all just knowing how to use it! ![]() Spin Off Bearded Iris - REBLOOMER - Pinkish/Purple $5.99 New reblooming "Spin Off" gives you spectacular pinkish-purple blooms both in spring and fall.
