This review is from : Wild Planet Spy Gear Expert Mission Case
Poor walkie talkies and the rest doesn't make up for the cost . The Spy Gear Expert Mission Case essentially comes with three components.
1) Walkie-talkies. Unfortunately, the amount of static on these makes them useless. You're better off getting a cheap pair of real, FRS 2-way radios.
2) Spy Audio Car. As noted in the other reviews, this is not a remote controlled vehicle. Nonetheless, the audio quality is surprisingly good. The cord on the earphone seems flimsy but so far it has held up.
3) Agent Tool Kit. This is a pen & locking hard case that contains accessories that you can add to the pen to turn it into a:
- flashlight
- telescope
- motion detector & alarm
These come in a hard plastic case with plastic latches. There's a removable insert that holds the pieces, but it's made of egg-crate cardboard and doesn't last very long.
This kit might have been worth the cost if the radios had worked, but it's definitely overpriced without them.

Wild Planet Spy Gear Expert Mission Case Reviews
Dissapointment . Looks pretty cool on the computer. Lots of little plastic parts not very well made. For the price I thought the quality would be better. A novelty at best and will wear off in about 2 days. I say don't buy it.

Wild Planet Spy Gear Expert Mission Case Opinions
Not worth the money . Was expecting a lot more for the money. I expected the car to be a remote control, but it was just a pull back wind up toy. Just was expecting a little more for the money. Don't waste your time.

Spy Gear Bonanza . My 6 yr old grson loved this mega spy assortment. He has many of the other Spy Gear items but this one was not to be found anywhere in our area and it was the major item on his Christmas list. He took it out put it together and was setting up his booby traps all over. Then when done all went back into the case. Something I like especially as toys are spread all over otherwise and parts seem to go missing. Highly recommend this item. Even the 18 month old was trying to use it.
Son loves it . I bought this product for my son on amazon. This is one of the only places I can really find spy gear, walmart only carries so much. He was so happy it got here. He was full of anticipation for a week. Then when it came, he was overjoyed. He has been playing with this toy for sometime now and I was really surprised at everything that came with it. Everything is very durable and has lasted for awhile now. I would definitely recommend this toy for children. Great product!
Cons Review
A great assortment at a good price . We knew our son wanred spy gear this year, so we started shopping around. In all our looking, two things influenced our purchase of this set: 1) the assortment of items, and 2) the hard case.
The assortment allows for much more play time, and for play involving more children (be they siblings or friends), and the hard case makes it more difficult (though not impossible) for younger ones to get into the spy gear when it is not in use.
Our son's favorite item has been the pull-back car with the remote listening sensor. We've had to talk to him about boundaries when using the device, as we've caught him trying to listen in on private discsussions (e.g., discussions with his siblings about their grades). The walkie-talkies are also a popular item. He really likes the way he can lock up the smaller items in the mini-case that needs the pen to unlock it.
The price for the set (just under $50 when we purchased it) was much better than trying to buy each of the items separately (or in the collection of other sets in which they are found). It proved to be a great deal, and a real hit with our son.
A NOTE ON BATTERIES
-------------------
You definately will need a lot of batteries for this set--mostly 9-volt (9v, not "D" as listed by another reviewer--they are rectangular, but are 9-volt or 9v, not "D"). While the set needed more batteries than I expected, they have also lasted longer than expected, too (almost three weeks and no drained batteries yet).

very fun spy gadgets . It is very fun and me and my cousin love to play with it.We spy on the whole family.
Fun for a while . I bought this toy for my seven year old nephew. He didnt really seem to be interested in it at first but when he got it open and started playing playing with it his interest in the audio car spiked. It gave him a good hour of enjoyment before he moved on to the next toy. The other toys in the package seemed to be something one would buy from the dollar store. Overall, the package is a stretch from the normal quality of other Spy Gear toys. If it wasnt for the car I wouldnt recommend this product but since he really enjoyed the car I would get another if I had to. For twenty dollars, the bang was worth the buck.
spy kit . My 5 year old son loves this spy kit. He has had alot
of fun with it. It does have some small pieces that
we put up for now, but he's really enjoyed it!

Fun but a battery eater . This is a decent toy for our son, who loves the spykids, cody banks, etc movies. It has a nice secret pen laser light kit, a manual push radio listen-in car, and weak walkie talkies (they carry a lot of static and noise). However, our son loves the belt spy gear kit that has smaller parts and toys, and is more activity inducing. This boxed set does require MANY batteries, the most expenssive being the "D" rectangular batteries. It also takes AAA/AA batteries. So make sure to check out how many of each kind you need. Otherwise, this toy goes nowhere.
