Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Execute daring missions with the strobing light MegaBlimp Combo, which includes both the Airship-1 and the Area 51 UFO air vessels.The two vessels are activated and controlled by a removable triple-fan silent electric propulsion system. This triple axis control system means it can be flown forward, backward, up and down and perform 360 degree turn-on-a-dime maneuvers. Full control and maneuvering of the air vessels is maintained from a hand-held transmitter witha range of over 100'. It is recommended you use your blimps indoors but on a calm day they can be flown outdoors using the included tether and tether hooks.

Too fun!,

This review is from: Megatech Mega - Blimp Combo with Lights Airship 1 and Ufo (Toy)
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.

Best Toy Ever,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Megatech Mega - Blimp Combo with Lights Airship 1 and Ufo (Toy)
This is the most fun toy ever. We went to Party City and got the Blimp filled up and brought it home. Then the gondola goes on it. I coudln't wait to turn it on!
The best part is the lights! You can switch the lights to different settings from the remote control. It was so cool because me and my friends flew it around my house at night and scared our parents LOL It was funny. I didn't try the other blimp yet. It comes with 2 blimps that you can change back and forth. It's really easy to control except for if there is a fan on cause that make wind and it's hard to control. I love this blimp!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Megatech Mega - Blimp Combo with Lights Airship 1 and Ufo (Toy)
Well, when you buy low you sometimes get old stock. This is what we received. The 9 volt battery had corroded, and the 3 volt battery was dead. Add about [...] to the price of this blimp, because you'll likely have to replace the batteries upon arrival. The seller holds that responsibility, but the manufacturer is the one who created a balloon that has motors that won't power the craft downward. As some have indicated, it goes up and stays up. It's truly a fun concept that my 9 year old became fascinated with after watching Pixar's "Up." They have a blimp in the movie. This, however, is a big mylar balloon with underpowered motors. The lights, though, are very cool, and all being said, he played with this for a few weeks. Honestly, it was inexpensive to buy, it is more durable than I would have thought, and my son enjoyed it anyway. I just wish the batteries had not been leaking acid into the styrofoam when we got it.
