Toys : Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - Metro Fly

Rating: - Amazing little toy for everyone!
I bought my boyfriend one of these for Christmas after seeing them on other websites and in a few shops. At first I was a little apprehensive about how durable it would be as it's only made from polystyrene! But when he opened it Christmas day he loved it! It's really easy to set up. You just put the batteries in the controller, turn both the helicopter and the controller on and start flying the mini chopper. We crashed it into loads of things including the Christmas tree and the TV and it's stayed in one peace so far! I really recommend getting one, they are loads of fun to play and addictive when you get the hang of it.

Bought this for my 12 year old son and also for a 37 year old friend. Both of them have had endless fun with these things. It's simple to use and flys pretty much straight out of the box. Needs 6 AA size batteries for the transmitter and you're off. You can "kind of" fly it round the room with a bit of twitchig on the left and right controls, but if you're looking for a fully flying helicopter, this isn't for you, although a bit of bluetac on the tip of the craft has you whizzing round the front room in no time. Crashed my sons one more times than I've had hot dinners, but you just pick it up, stand it back on it's feet, and full throttle and you're off again. This thing is great fun, and recommended simply for the fun factor. One word of warning... If you buy one for your kids, secretly get yourself one too, cos your kids wont get a go!!!!!

Ye gods, I'm 8 again. This is a very good toy, although I'm not sure why it's a couple of pound dearer than the normal Picco Z - although it does come with a spare tail rotor and thick aluminium stickers as well to enhance stability (this wasn't mentioned, so I'll assume they're not included with the normal version). It's an indoors toy only, as a mild gust of wind can send you next door asking for your helicopter back. It also sends dogs and cats nuts and if you have an ash tray, don't fly over it, as one of my work colleagues found out...

Once you get used to it, you'll feel proud of yourself landing it on the floor, tables, books and eventually, your sleeping siblings head. Perfect Xmas gift and a lot cheaper than a Playstation 3.
