5.0 out of 5 stars Too fun!, December 30, 2006

By	J. Loucks (Fair Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this for Christmas, and it is too fun! It is very easy to fly, and I like to fly it right up to my 2 year old daughter, who likes to hug it. My older kids also love to fly it around the house.

I got it filled at a florist. It is pretty big so it is hard to handle when full of helium, so I brought a bedsheet with me to the florist--I wrapped the sheet around the filled blimp and carried it by the four corners of the sheet, which also helped weigh it down until I got it home. If you let it go before attaching the gondola, it goes up FAST! We have really high ceilings, so (after learning my lesson) I tied a piece of fishing line (cut from a line included in the set) to the gondola, and now if it's stuck on the ceiling I can just reach up to grab the string. For extra weight, to achieve neutral buoyancy, you put pennies in slots in the gondola.

The 9-V battery for the RC controller was dead, but I had some new 9-V batteries. The battery that goes in the gondola is a strange size and non-rechargeable, but has lasted for a few days so far. I'm sure I can find a new one at Radio Shack or something when the time comes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Toy!, December 31, 2008

A Kid's Review

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I am 8 years old and I just got this. It is great to play with! It takes you about 20 minutes to learn how to fly it. I haven't tried the blue blimp, only the UFO. It took some work to get it to balance correctly with the coins inserted in the slots. We ended up using some foil in place of a coin because the coin made it either too light or too heavy, no matter what coin we used. The lights on it are really cool. Great toy! You won't be sorry you bought it!
