Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter

from: Silverlit


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.

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - Metro Fly

from: Silverlit


This was a birthday present, and was instantly a hit! However, on the first day of use the propeller blades started to loosen. Eventually it kept coming off every time it was used. We have tried to fix it ourselves but to no avail. This is a great shame as it would be a great little present for children and adults alike!

Silverlit Genuine PicooZ Replacement Tail Rotors (3 Pack)

from: Silverlit


Well, I am waiting to see on this one - no doubt the replacements are good quality, but the e-tailer involved has put on a huge number of charges for shipping (£42.00 for shipping in the UK a multiple order to the same address!!! These are roter blades, very light, not bowling balls - I could get to London for less)- I do not yet know if it will be resolved, so be careful buying - if the situation is resolved to good effect, I promise to update this! If not, well - just be careful out there...

Duracell Plus AA Batteries x 12

from: Duracell


Duracell must be about to launch a 'new and improved' battery because they seem to be trying to get rid of their old stock. 12 batteries at this price is very reasonable. We've all seen the adverts for these Duracell batteries but they really are as good as the marketing hype. I haven't changed a battery in any clock/TV remote control/camera/keyboard/mouse/torch since February and its now November. Just lucky?

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter - Boeing AH-64D Apache

from: Silverlit


I have only had this little helicopter for an hour or two and i love it, even though ive crashed it. It is easy to control but takes a little time to get used to, the trim buttons are proving too awkward, but i would highly recommend this as a gift to anyone or just for yourself. My only concern is that my cat might kill it or it might kill my cat. I had a larger r/c helicopter a couple of years ago and it was fragile and broke within the first half hour of use, whereas the picooZ apache is light and feels flimsy but is durable. An overall good buy. (im getting another one!)

Silverlit Radio Control Picoo Z Helicopter (Assortment)

from: Silverlit

September 25, 2007
Despite all of the negative reviews given here , I only have a few things to say
let be honest you are getting what you pay for :o) it is indeed a flimsy polestirine toy but saying that it's probably very suitable for it, as it is light and durable (I've crashed mine heaps and it is still going) as for flying it if you trim the controls and use the weights right under the nose then this helecopter becomes very easy to control!! I honestly can't understand why so many people are unable to control this lol (I'm landing mine on work tops arm chairs and soon I have no doubt on the tv)
So all in all great toy for the price but indeed flimsy as well as for the charging plug ect. you need very small hands (I switch mine off using a mini screw ... Read More:

Silverlit PicooZ Helicopter Sky Challenger Set (2 Pack)

from: Silverlit

September 25, 2007
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!

20Q Version 2

from: Radica Games

January 16, 2007
I was interested in buying this and saw one out for demonstration, so i thought i'd test it out before i bought it. Lucky i did! I thought of a racoon and began the game. It began promising, asking sensible questions, then went totally off the point. It never got it in 20 questions and only got it on the 25 question, which i felt was a bit of a cheat. I tried again with something simple, but this time, it never got it. I was glad when the words "you win" came up on the screen and it turned itself off, probably because it was embarrassed! At that point, i had to leave, which i felt glad to do, and was very glad i tried it before i bought it. Some of my friends, who were unable to try it, felt disapointed they couldn't and have since got rid of them. It's a good ... Read More:

Bop It Extreme 2

from: Hasbro


Ok, buy it as a Christmas present for some kid if you really want to. But why not buy it for yourself? It's utterly brilliant! It's brings out the competitive side in a really fun way and is a great reflexes game that doesn't injure anyone.
Am I saying this because I beat everyone else with it? Probably.
But still you will love this, it's incredibly durable and there are different ways of playing it for those that learn or use their senses differently.
Now if only it had a mute button so you could play after the kids have gone to bed!

Silverlit PicooZ Twin Blade 3 Channel Helicopter - TandemZ

from: Silverlit

April 14, 2008
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.
