5.0 out of 5 starsI have two words for you, 'predator drones.' You will never see it coming.
ByMaurice Cobbson January 11, 2013
You've had a busy play day - You've wiretapped Mom's cell phone and e-mail without a warrant, you've indefinitely detained your little brother Timmy in the linen closet without trial, and you've confiscated all the Super-Soakers from the neighborhood children (after all, why does any kid - besides you, of course - even NEED a Super-Soaker for self-defense? A regular water pistol should be enough). What do you do for an encore?
That's where the US Air Force Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator from Maisto comes in. Let's say that Dad has been labeled a terrorist in secret through your disposition matrix. Rather than just arrest him and go through the hassle of trying and convicting him in a court of law, and having to fool with all those terrorist-loving Constitutional protections, you can just use one of these flying death robots to assassinate him! Remember, due process and oversight are for sissies. Plus, you get the added bonus of taking out potential terrorists before they've even done anything - estimates have determined that you can kill up to 49 potential future terrorists of any age for every confirmed terrorist you kill, and with the innovative 'double-tap' option, you can even kill a few terrorist first responders, preventing them from committing terrorist acts like helping the wounded and rescuing survivors trapped in the rubble. Don't let Dad get away with anti-American activities! Show him who's boss, whether he's at a wedding, a funeral, or just having his morning coffee. Sow fear and carnage in your wake! Win a Nobel Peace Prize and be declared Time Magazine's Person of the Year - Twice!
This goes well with the Maisto Extraordinary Rendition playset, by the way - which gives you all the tools you need to kidnap the family pet and take him for interrogation at a neighbor's house, where the rules of the Geneva Convention may not apply. Loads of fun!

3.0 out of 5 starsEducational and fun!
ByAlexon December 17, 2012
I really wanted to show my toddler that it's okay to murder people and still come out a "hero" as long as you're in an air conditioned trailer remotely operating a Predator Drone 10,000 miles away in Pakistan.
I mean, if the government sanctions murder, it must be ok, right?

Let's all go morally and financially bankrupt, stuffing Lockheed Martin's coffers using taxpayer dough stolen by lobbyists. And put it to good use to murder kids in Mali and Kurdistan using these toys!

This toy is the same as any other. I don't understand why no one has a problem with fighter jet toys, ect. Those are built to kill people. They kill the same people overseas as drones do. Just shut up. Drones are good and are positive advances of technology.

Can I change my kill-list? Can I kill granny with it? She's mean !
My fish Johnny is fine, but boring; can I drone-kill him with it?
How cost-effective is this purchase? I mean, if I change my mind, can the manufacturer resuscitate someone I killed? (I am thinking of a certain schoolmate, but yet I'm not sure ... I might change my mind)
How many drone-attacks can I do with it? Does it have any spare ammunition, considering that DHS is buying it up so we don't find any???
Do I have to prove I'm not on anti-depressants in order to buy it? Do I have to go on a background check to buy it?

The product blurb reads "Medium Altitude, Long Endurance," which sounded positively arousing, but I found "unmanned" rather a letdown. Fresh metal tailwinds--way beyond my S/M range. Let's face it, this product is just not up to it.
ByEdwina D. Wall Howeon March 18, 2013
Although this toy is very fun and educational by itself, it really needs to be packaged with its potential targets, or at least a tiny "kill list", so that children understand how it's used. A miniature Afghan Wedding Party would help, or at least some indiscriminate Arab and/or Muslim men of "military" age who are automatically classified as legitimate targets, and some tiny Arab children for them to stand among. It would be especially brilliant, and according to our president quite humorous, to include a miniature set of the Jonas Brothers... "The Jonas Brothers are here. They're out there somewhere. Sasha and Malia are huge fans. But, boys, don't get any ideas. I have two words for you -- predator drones. You will never see it coming. You think I'm joking. (Laughter.)" -- Barack Obama at the White House
Byprudhombon March 16, 2013
Only giving this three stars because it does not come with the Distinguished Warfare Medal for valor earned while killing the enemy from the safety of your trailer in North Dakota. How else am I supposed to teach Johnny that playing call of duty is more brave than the actions of our Marines on Iwo Jima or in Fallujah?

The Maisto RQ-1 Predator UAV isn't just a toy. It's an entire life lesson that's almost invisible from the ground! Your child will learn the joys of working with others as he conducts a reconnoiter of
a troublesome part of the neighborhood, commands covert operators to help select his targets, and gains the glowing satisfaction of seeing his enemies wading knee deep in the blood of their own families.
Your child's Maisto Predator can be accessorized with both heat-seeking and launch-and-forget missiles that are so smart, they'll be doing his homework for him in no time at all, provided there's a school left standing within the 30 mile radius of this UAV's effective coverage.
The bully who's been giving wedgies to the kids smart (and lucky!) enough to have their own RQ-1 system won't be so quick to implement his little jihad minus the home he used to live in (and they called it broken even before the missile was released!), much less the cacophony of his wailing step-father, who is still looking for his legs.
Get one now before the holiday season begins, and let your son or daughter claim the hegemony that is their birthright from the technology they command. Some dissembling is required.

Instilling the great american values to your child cannot be done simply by talking to them. It cannot be done just by letting them watch Rambo. It should be done by example. Take your little toddler for a "drone session". Explore together the wondrous world of signature strikes and double tap strikes! Boost your child's self-fulfillment and sense of self-efficacy in projecting power! It is even nobel committee approved!
ByHyperionon March 9, 2013
This originally came with a miniature Obama Captain Dronebot figure, but for some reason, it's no longer included.
No worries though, kids, your official Captain Dronebot action figure can be purchased separately, at toy retailers near you.

This is such a wonderful toy, I had to take it away from my son so I could use it myself to keep all the neighborhood terrorists at bay while I wait for Maisto's next project: a fully operational Death Star, which you can employ to blow up this entire sick planet with all its sick toys for kids.
