Helicopters are inherently difficult to fly. Silverlit has made things a lot simpler to give you hours of fun. As you might expect you cannot do all the manoeuvres a normal helicopter could do. The helicopter stays flat most of the time and turning is controlled easily but a dedicated switch on the remote.
The durability of this product is phenomenal. After many hard landings at the early stages of the learning curve it's still working and behaving like new. For the price, you might as well buy one even if you 're not a big fan of the genre.

My picoo z was still flying well with a cracked rear rotor blade but I knew one more nose-dive behind the sofa and my fun would be over. Unfortunately my
over enthusiasm after christmas day for tidying up meant the original spare went in the bin with cracker bits. Luckily these are official Silverlit rotors and a pack of three, which I was very happy about as I can play 'Apocolypse Now' to my heart's content.

This is a great toy. My 9 year old son has just received the set with the police headquarters. As with most Lego sets, they are easy to make up and look great when finished. I am sure this will provide hours of fun.

This is an awesome but not particularly durable helicopter. I bought mine today and it was very hard to get the hang of... it kept hitting walls. When I thought I'd cracked it after about an hour of flying, it veered into a curtain, smacked into the ground and one of the rotors partly snapped. There being no suitable spare parts, it is now totally out of control whenever I try to fly it. Having bought several Silverlit helicopters, all of which have broken in the first three days, I would not really recomend getting this unless you have a large flying area, are very experienced, have spare parts or enough money to buy another.

A great idea, and it was huge fun for about 2 weeks. BUT then the tail rotor needed replacing and in the removal and refitiing procedure suddenly it didn't rotate at all. So one helicopter down... The next one lasted about a month longer. I don't think that's value for money. Toys like scaletrix and lego still work after 20 years!

This was bought for my son's 3rd birthday and it is absolutely perfect! It is very sturdy and he has no problems riding it. The sound effect buttons are also really great. Definately a great buy for active little boys who love Thomas!!

In all the pictures the figure of Batman fixed to the Pod. The guns sticking up at 20 degrees. But I made a decision which was any model of the BatPod was better than none. The Tumbler in this product is rubbish. Not only is it completely a childs toy, but it is a badly made childs toy that would break in minutes. The Batpod howevever is pretty good(from a collectors point of view) Its 8 1/2 inchs long, pretty accurate, well made albeit with a 4 inch long Batman figure attached. If like me you don't want to spend hundreds on the Mattel Movie Masterpiece version. This is a good second(for the time being)

Bought the Ozbozz Nebulus Nectra Folding Scooter about half a year ago for my son. In general it's good value. My son enjoys scooting around on it, and learns balancing along the way (4 stars for fun and educational value).
I agree with some of the other reviews. The wheels area is the weakest department. The wheels are too hard hence causes quite a bit of vibration, but my son doesn't seem to mind this. 2 weeks ago the rear wheel axel came off (3 stars for durability). I e-mailed the company (Ozbozz), and to my surprise the company promptly sent a replacement axel to me at no charge! If there is a star rating for customer service, Ozbozz gets a 5!
In short it's good value for money. It has a few faults, but I trust the company ... Read More:

I've never had a toy helicopter before, so have no skills in flying. Had it a few days and able to make it hover. Not mastered manouvers yet. Probably me, but seems quite jerky at times (i.e. reduce power a bit and it sinks to the floor fast!!)
Good fun, and has survived lots of crashes so far. Comes with a Spare tail rotor in the packet too.

My 4 year old son bought this car with his birthday money.
It works intermittently, and when it does (as previous reviews have noted) it drives very slowly and has a huge turning circle.
Ultimately, it is little more than a static plastic replica of Rory, so not worth paying more than a fiver for!
