I went ahead and put some batteries in mine, just to see what's what, only to find that it's not fully functional. There are three buttons across the back of the turret for sound effects and turret rotation, and one of them doesn't work. I have no turret rotation, no Cannon sound, and it's definitely not a metal tank so that gives me an excuse to go to PayPal and say I want my money back. When the package arrived there was a u.s. return address on the package so if they want me to send it back it shouldn't cost me more than $20. Probably closer to $10, which means I will get 50 of my $60 back. But you have to be careful doing this kind of thing because PayPal will only let you get away with it so many times and then they will close your account. So far I've only had one issue that I had to go to PayPal for so I'm still safe in that regard, but knowing that that's the way it is I'm a little hesitant to waste one of my return opportunities. But that probably won't stop me, and I'll probably call PayPal tonight and ask for my money back.
