Huge fun, but slightly erratic, 2008-09-04
Technically very clever, this is an evolution of the tiny Picoo Z 2-channel machine that has taken the world by storm.
What they have added to this is a 'Forward' button that gives a surge of forwards movement to the otherwise very slowly moving helicopter.
But....
This surge forward comes after a slight but unpredictable delay, and the yaw control (left/right steering) on this machine is less good than on the Picoo Z.
So you might have this little machine hovering, and want to buzz it across the room, but it is twisting to the right, OK?
If you try to stop it twisting the sticky yaw control can set it spinning left, and the trim is not a lot of help in this - unlike the older Picoo Z. If you take pot luck and wait until it lines up on your destination, the forward button may delay enough until it aims you at the wall!
So it can be a bit of a lottery, but still great fun.
Fortunately it seems just as tough as the Picoo Z.
The tiny actuator mechanism for the 'Forward' control is jewel like and a very neat bit of model engineering, significant educational value, as always - but the way the whole machine flies is not so good in the ways described. Pity.
Oh, and it has a remote controlled light on it. Might add fun to the arrival of the Xmas pud? Just don't get too near the flames!
Still recommended, but for fun rather than precision flying.

Great to look at but impractical and dangerous, 2008-11-20
We bought this for our son's 5th birthday after he begged us as all his friends had them. It looks great and he loves the monsters but be warned that 1) it is VERY heavy for a young child; 2) it rattles really loudly when you are riding it because of the empty drawer and (most importantly) 3) it CANNOT COPE WITH PAVEMENT BUMPS. My son rode it to school and we had to stop every few yards because the drawer kept springing open every time he went over a slight bump or rise in the pavement. This is because the drawer is very low to the ground and has only a very small catch to hold it in which gets bounced out very easily. This is really dangerous as it kept hitting him on the 'pushing' leg and twice caused him to fall off. And it took us ten times longer to get to school than normal! We have now taped the drawer shut but it is still really annoyingly loud and also impractical because it keeps scraping on the ground if you have dips in the pavement (i.e. for driveways) or a bumpy surface like cobbles or bricks. It turns out all his friends' ones have the same problem so none of them are really using them except around the house. All us mums are rather annoyed at having spent so much for something so useless!

Big Boys Toy, 2008-08-26
I bought this as a birthday present for my husband and have had great fun watching him trying to master the art of flying!! We've both been amazed at how the helicopter has stood up to the number of crash landings and bouncing off walls and ceilings. Now he's getting the hang of flying it's been quite interesting to see how the helicopter works and responds to the controls, such as hovering for instance.
Highly recommended; in fact, it looks like his work mates are starting to drop hints to partners ready for Christmas.....

Roary the Racing Car - Remote Control Roary

Light 'em up, Roary!!!, 2008-02-28
My son and I have had great fun with this toy over the past couple of months, and still do -- best Christmas present I ever bought!

It is speedy, tough, and faithful to the TV character. Admittedly traction is better on carpet than laminate, but I found it very easy to control, and had no problems with the turning circle. No, it won't turn on a dime, so you do have to practice some 3-point turns, but well, there's your educational element: spacial awareness, hand/eye co-ordination, etc. - good practice for when the kids are 17!

If responsiveness, or range of remote IR signal decreases, just replace the batteries in the car (not necessarily the remote), and all should be well again. I've also found that sunlight can interfere with the remote IR signal when the car travels into direct sunlight at a distance - just move closer to it.

All in all, a superb toy. If I had had one as a kid, I would have been well chuffed. I just wish they would bring out another remote control character, e.g. Maxi, so you could have races!

this is a winner, 2007-12-07

I was a little sceptical about how much fun this would be and whether these coptors really fly. No worries. They are amazing and even my wife's raised eyebrows quickly turned to a smile. My 2 girls think they are 'cool' Even the 8 year old could fly one within a few minutes.

The flying time is as short it suggests but still enough time to enjoy it. It says don't use rechargeable batteries but I seem to remember another website saying that you can safely ignore these warnings.

It will be interesting to see how durable these coptors are - you get spare rear blades. I haven't had long enough to know.

If you aren't convinced whether this is worth the money check out the video that is on manufacturer's website.

Could be the toy of the year

Ozbozz Nebulus Nectra Folding Scooter

Great value!, 2008-07-30
I just got this for my 5 year old, and for him it is great. It is a good basic scooter and surprisingly well made for the price. Even I have had a go on it, is fab!
The foam on the handles could be a little firmer, I don't think it will last, but at this price, is a risk I can take.
Easy to fold and light weight to carry, yet surprisingly sturdy. Five stars from me!

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

Simply amazing!, 2008-10-12
The picooz is the most fun i've had in ages. I bought it knowing it was good and it is. Its great value for money and when they say its durable they mean it. It only takes a few flights to learn what your doing. However read the instrutions and make sure to trim. If youre going to buy it for a kid make sure there mature enough. The design is great it has a built in LED (light) so you can have night flights. If yout going to fly it outdoors make sure there is no wind or direct sun. A brilliant buy reccomended!!!
