4.0 out of 5 stars Neat toy; a bit fragile, January 27, 2007

This review is from: Megatech Party Blimp, with Music, Lights and Stencils (Toy)

My almost-13-year old really wanted this blimp for Christmas. Unfortunately, when he opened it Christmas morning, one of the propellers and its small engine were broken off in the box. Emailing with Megatech was a little frustrating until I realized that a different tech person reads your replies. If you have a problem, copy all emails each time you respond. They did finally agree to a return. I paid for shipping back. They returned a new blimp at no cost, but it took a month. When my son started assembling the new blimp, one of the "stalks" to which the side propellers and their engines are attached broke off. I saw it happen, and it literally broke in his hand. He was being careful, and doing nothing unsual. We could have both cried, but super glue resolved the problem so that he was finally able to use the blimp. Now that it's up and running, we're all impressed. It's huge (much larger appearing than the illustration) and maneuvers very well. The lights and music choices make it really smile-worthy. I'd give it 5 stars, if not for the problems with it breaking. We have high ceilings, which is good, because the blimp would be very vulnerable outside. It's very light weight (out of necessity, I imagine) and probably not for younger children as it would never stand up to any rough treatment. It's not as sleek as the ilustration, either, with fold wrinkles across the balloon portion, although maybe it could be blown up very tightly for something closer to that effect. Don't forget you'll need to buy helium, and a tank runs around $20.

I got this for my daughter's 3rd birthday party and it was very entertaining for children and adults alike. My advice is that you need to read the manual carefully. Blimp is very delicate and light so be careful flying around children, they think it's a balloon and handle it very roughly. It's great for high ceiling indoor location, make sure you weigh down and balance the blimp by inserting coins in the gondola and turn off any ceiling fan as it rip and torn the balloon part of my blimp. I've salvaged the gondola and bought a new replacement blimp 52 inch Replacement Silver Blimp Balloon Envelope For All Mach RC Airships FREE Shipping for future use. Overall, I enjoy this product and my guests were entertained. It was a huge big hit with such a simple contraption.

This product is intended for adults only. My son found this online because he loves blimps and wanted it to play with. The balloon that was sent was only for one time use and was way over priced for that purpose. My boy popped it within the first hour and was extremely upset. Also the balloon was NOT shaped like a blimp but like an egg. My advise for this product is DO NOT BUY IT!. I is way over priced and is completely NOT WORTH IT!!!! IT does not look like the picture AT ALL.
