Air Hogs Havoc Heli toys are the #1 best-selling toys for boys for Fall of 2008 - the Air Hogs Havoc Heli Laser Battle Set are a specialized version of these popular toys.
If you're not familiar with these, they are soooo much fun. The Air Hogs Heli's are quite small (the smallest R/C toy helicopters made), but don't be deceived by the size - they are pretty easily controlled, maneuverable and a real blast to play with inside or out. Kids (and adults too) are giving their feedback - and the one word that stands out the most is "fun". :)
What's different about the "laser battle" version? These are designed to be used with 2 or more players, and have special lasers that "hit" the other helicopter - after 3 "hits" the other copter goes into a tailspin and loses.
Some tips - based on the reviews that I looked over, it's most fun when played with in either a large room or outdoors. Also, even though these are designed for multiple players, they most definitely can be flown all by themselves and are just as fun as the other Air Hogs Havoc Heli toys played on a single basis. These require re-charging for about 15 minutes for each play.
One more note - the age recommendation for the Air Hogs Havoc Heli Laser Battle Set is 8 to 18 years of age, but based on the feedback in the reviews, they generally last longer when used fairly carefully since they can be broken with extra-aggressive play, so you might want to more carefully consider the age of the person the toys is being purchased for vs. how much you are paying for it.
Cost Info: The Air Hogs Havoc Heli Laser Battle Set costs between $60-$80 depending on where they are purchased, special sales, etc. Here are some good recommendations on where to look for Air Hogs Havoc Heli Laser Battle Sets at low prices:
