Play Deal of the Day - Remote Control Helicopter - £9.99

Different one today - micro style remote control helicopter £34.99 down to £9.99
http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/5175513/Silverlit-MX-1-Extreme/Product.html - Another good stocking filler for grown up boys!!
Silverlit has always made the tiniest of remote control helicopters, and this is probably the smallest of all! Just about the same length as a credit card, the MX1 Extreme is so small that it fits inside its own controller which doubles a handy carry case too!
Despite its tiny size, the MX-1's performance will not disappoint and the extra portability means it can be taken just about anywhere. Weighing just 7 grams, it really is minuscule, but in the toughness stakes it punches well above its weight, with a super tough EPP foam body that will not be dented or damaged by the occasional rough landing, so the MX-1 is perfect for beginners to take their first steps in radio controlled flight. It also has the benefit of being supplied fully assembled and ready to fly right out of the box.
Extremely simple to fly, an auto-stability system also makes the MX-1 even easier to fly in even the smallest of indoor spaces!

Looks like a bait and switch to me. Not the same helicopter, its not an mx1 on that link now.
The Mx1 is much smaller (tiny) than hthe regular picoZ.
Shame on Play as they still have the mx1 in stock just put the price up to £17.99.0 -
Oooh, sorry
didn't realise they'd switched it! Thanks 0 -
