- 1176 Pieces Johnny 5 Robot Building Set with Remote Control - Rechargeable, Gift for Adults Men, STEM Tech Movie Robotic Figure Model Kit

I have bought other generic building block sets in the past, and it has been a mixed bag. While some are better than others, the reality is that for the most part, you can immediately tell they are not the same quality level as Lego. This is no exception; it still feels less quality. But compared to most I have owned, the quality here is actually pretty good. The pieces feel sturdy and the finished set feels like it can withstand moving it around and posing it. The cell phone-controlled motor is also a super nice addition, it is an incredible good value, comparing it to other building block sets. The instructions could be improved a bit, as they are confusing in several parts, but overall is not a complicated build. The final build is actually very good and sturdy and it really resembles Johnny 5.

This was so fun. What a great display piece. Fun to scare the cats with as well. 😀 johnny 5 is alive!!

Great kit! Very minimal issues assembling it. Instructions were relative painless to follow. The appearance, aside from being a darker color than the actual movie character, is pretty spot on.

Very fun and challenging build. I like the size it works great. I highly recommend this to others that like a little challenge.

For starters, my set came with ALL THE PIECES, plus some spares as you'd expect from a MOLDED ABS INTERLOCKING BLOCK BUILDING SET. Some challenges I ran into: 1) This set uses pieces that are crimes against nature; Pieces I pined for in my pre-teen dream mind. Cheater bricks used EVERYWHERE, and that's fine. But wow it takes a lot of brain power to navigate the nuanced, weird, eclectic pieces that make this neat little set a reality. 2) Colors. You've got your blue-gray, dark gray, light grey, bright grey, black, and of course just plain blue. It can be tricky at times to discern which grey to use when. 3) Instruction density is REAL. Pay attention, or you'll miss a step. Again, not hard, but time consuming. Finding the piece, making sense of the orientation all just gobbles up valuable brain cycles. 4) Mobility: Johnny can turn his head and drive as a tank would drive from the motors. Not bad for an inexpensive toy building set, but kinda eh. His little arms can be moved by hand, but the shoulder joints have just barely enough stiction to keep him how you set him; they're OK now, but I imagine with time they'll loosen up. The rear wheels are merely decorative; he pivots on a steel ball and the rear tires hover above the surface. Convincing but limited. At no point did I need to use glue or run into any problems with the pieces not sticking, within reason. The most dubious connections are the little hubcaps that go over the rear wheels. Everything else clicked together with name-brand-like assertion. The included generic controller does not take into consideration the fact that this vehicle is skid steer, so it's not intuitive to drive jOhNnY aRoUnd (wOulDn'T yOu LiKe 2 b A pEpPeR tOo??) When Johnny drives, his hard plastic tank treads clatter around gracelessly. This shall remain a static figurine. For $70, just get the stupid thing. The box is absolutely packed with bricks and it will eat up some of your time. After all the trouble, you're rewarded with a fine piece of nostalgia. Excellent job making this set a reality, China. I don't know how you do it.

Nice model, but not being up to Lego quality for the parts, super glue is a requirement to make sure sections of the model stay together properly. Good design, looks, functionality otherwise.

I havent started to build this yet but by the looks of it I wont be disappointed by any means. I got it because of the nostalgia that comes with Short Circuit and the Johnny 5 robot. I thought it was super cool so i got it. I will come back and leave an update once i get building.

This was a fun build and that it was remote controlled is nice. Moves like a tank and head swivels. Arms are poseable. Larger than I thought it would be (18" tall), but looks very much like Johnny 5 from the movie. Model is USB chargeable and remote uses 2 AA batteries (not included).
