feel free to have a go if you don't think this is a grabbit, but this is a great gift for young ones. I think it genuinely warrants the original price tag (or somewhere close)...

bought this for a nephew's birthday and having heard a report on how good it is, I have to say i'm tempted to grab one for myself... even though i know i'm wayyy too old for this sort of stuff. ;)

anyway... for a nice "boys toy" or maybe a gift idea that looks more expensive than it actually is then perhaps you would consider this

and no... i'm not affiliated with pc world!

hope it helps someone

    Looks pretty mean - waddya mean too old, that's the time when you can afford to buy all the stuff you wanted when you were younger...

    Have some reservations about the original RSP, quite a few places have had much more reasonable prices for some time (eg Maplins), but not over-priced now. Thing most places don't mention is the flying time v the recharge time - that put me off the Maplin "heckilopters"...
  • These were reduced to the £25 aprox 3 weeks before Christmas, though only available instore, for which they sold out really quickly.
    Excellent spot in noticing they are now available for home delivery, which takes it to a tad under £30.
    Even at the delivered price - this is certainly an excellent deal.

  • Looks a bit rubbish, sorry, but I have the normal XPV, without the stupid robot and it can also be a boat, this one looks heavier aswell. The normal one flies at upto 25mph I think it is, and works on water and grass etc. It can be got for about £30 from deal extreme
  • have just managed to put this contraption together, only for it to not work.

    on looking at instructions, have discovered that we are missing the antennae for the remote control. Anybody else ordered this piece of crap and have a spare one!!
