Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Execute daring missions with the strobing light MegaBlimp Combo, which includes both the Airship-1 and the Area 51 UFO air vessels.The two vessels are activated and controlled by a removable triple-fan silent electric propulsion system. This triple axis control system means it can be flown forward, backward, up and down and perform 360 degree turn-on-a-dime maneuvers. Full control and maneuvering of the air vessels is maintained from a hand-held transmitter witha range of over 100'. It is recommended you use your blimps indoors but on a calm day they can be flown outdoors using the included tether and tether hooks.

Too fun!
I got this for Christmas, and it is too fun! It is very easy to fly, and I like to fly it right up to my 2 year old daughter, who likes to hug it. My older kids also love to fly it around the house.
I got it filled at a florist. It is pretty big so it is hard to handle when full of helium, so I brought a bedsheet with me to the florist--I wrapped the sheet around the filled blimp and carried it by the four corners of the sheet, which also helped weigh it down until I got it home. If you let it go before attaching the gondola, it goes up FAST! We have really high ceilings, so (after learning my lesson) I tied a piece of fishing line (cut from a line included in the set) to the gondola, and now if it's stuck on the ceiling I can just reach up to grab the string. For extra weight, to achieve neutral buoyancy, you put pennies in slots in the gondola.
The 9-V battery for the RC controller was dead, but I had some new 9-V batteries. The battery that goes in the gondola is a strange size and non-rechargeable, but has lasted for a few days so far. I'm sure I can find a new one at Radio Shack or something when the time comes.
Awesome Toy!
I am 8 years old and I just got this. It is great to play with! It takes you about 20 minutes to learn how to fly it. I haven't tried the blue blimp, only the UFO. It took some work to get it to balance correctly with the coins inserted in the slots. We ended up using some foil in place of a coin because the coin made it either too light or too heavy, no matter what coin we used. The lights on it are really cool. Great toy! You won't be sorry you bought it!
Best Toy Ever
This is the most fun toy ever. We went to Party City and got the Blimp filled up and brought it home. Then the gondola goes on it. I coudln't wait to turn it on!
The best part is the lights! You can switch the lights to different settings from the remote control. It was so cool because me and my friends flew it around my house at night and scared our parents LOL It was funny. I didn't try the other blimp yet. It comes with 2 blimps that you can change back and forth. It's really easy to control except for if there is a fan on cause that make wind and it's hard to control.
I love this blimp!
