    That's kinda what I was thinking :). We just have so much stuff I didn't want to get another thing of it was no good. It's just I'm an awful sucker for a bargain :)

    The set only has one robot. You would need to buy another one for it to be any use.

    Hey OP.


    Only has 3 reviews on Argos UK, but they're not great reviews to be fair.

    Plus there's only 20% off on the UK site, with the starting price being £17.49.

    Thanks all! I think Ye have talked me out of it? Haven't checked the uk site but that's a massive price difference if it was only £17 to start with! I wonder is the Irish site has made a mistake when it priced it over €100!

    I noticed yesterday that Argos' prices seemed to spaz out. The original prices for a lot of products went astronomical. You would think they would have spotted the glitch by now.

    Thanks OP for this. My son's very into things like this, was watching a movie about battling robots a few days ago so I've reserved one anyway. 22euro is still a good price for 2 robots and the arena. Looked it up on youtube too and looks like fun for kids (and dads I'd say!). Thanks again.

    Glad I was able to help someone :). Let us know if it's any good :).

    Yea on uk site it's saying it was only £17 ish. Just checked Amazon there and it's coming in on sale from $70 down to $20.

    I think the previous poster who suggested Argos prices are spazzing out a bit might be correct. The Mickey mouse cosy coupe is another example me thinks...

    Just an update: Got these yest afternoon for the kids (6&8 yr old boys) and they think they're awesome. Still playing with them now. It's the samurai set so you have to swing the remote as if you have a sword to fight. It's noisy but kids are really enjoying it.

    How much play time are they getting on a charge?

    on the argos uk site it says
    Was £17.49
    £13.99
    SAVE 20%

    but on other sites it is a lot more expensive.


    Looks like the price might go up in ireland tomorrow.
    Current selling price valid until 30/06/2015
