Very poor manufacturing and quality control. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son won it at a science fair. *by on Reviewed in the United States 10 January 2026* It was so cute and crazy, I bought it for my nephew. They had a blast! It's battery operated, but the power of this little guy is surprising! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Robot building mini kits for kids *by on Reviewed in the United States 28 April 2026* I purchased all 4 of the different ReBotz for my youngest son & daughter to build together. You do need 2 AAA batteries for each ReBotz figure. Each robot has 13-33 pieces to assemble in 4-6 simple steps. Instructions are illustrated and easy to understand. Also included are stickers to decorate each robot. Each of the ReBotz robots worked as described. They are made from durable plastic and move quickly across a room. My kids liked building them and playing with them. The box stated that you can mix and match the different sets to make your own custom robot, but my children have not done that yet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thames & Kosmos ReBotz: Scootz – The Cranky Crawling Robot | Build a Wacky Motorized Robot! | Collect All 4 | Combine to Make New Robotic Creations | Great Stocking Stuffer, Easter Basket Goodie - MINGKIDS Montessori Toys for 1 Year Old, Toy 6 Pc Multi Sensory Shape, Toddler Developmental Learning Toys Birthday Gifts, Baby Toys 12 Month --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/478953011-the-measure-of-malice-scientific-detection-stories-british-library-crime](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/478953011-the-measure-of-malice-scientific-detection-stories-british-library-crime) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
