These are FUN June 17, 2010
Daniel Tomkinson (Pennsylvania)
Warning, use indoors or in "no wind" conditions.
They're not very durable and avoid very sticky tape, but we had a lot of fun building and deploying these toys!
They went together easily and worked as designed. They're vulnerable to any wind though and care should be taken when using these. The motor's not very powerful and any wind is likely to send it off course.
We used tape and string to bond both balloons together for added lift and hung the "helmet" camera from the gondola for a neat video!
 Neat concept, poor execution January 7, 2010

Well, when you buy low you sometimes get old stock. This is what we received. The 9 volt battery had corroded, and the 3 volt battery was dead. Add about [...] to the price of this blimp, because you'll likely have to replace the batteries upon arrival. The seller holds that responsibility, but the manufacturer is the one who created a balloon that has motors that won't power the craft downward. As some have indicated, it goes up and stays up. It's truly a fun concept that my 9 year old became fascinated with after watching Pixar's "Up." They have a blimp in the movie. This, however, is a big mylar balloon with underpowered motors. The lights, though, are very cool, and all being said, he played with this for a few weeks. Honestly, it was inexpensive to buy, it is more durable than I would have thought, and my son enjoyed it anyway. I just wish the batteries had not been leaking acid into the styrofoam when we got it.
 Not worth the money December 26, 2009

We bought this for our 10 year old son. It arrived with missing parts. The controller was defective and was smoking with the first use. Now we are out the cost of this product because you can't return it to amazon...it has to go through the manufacturer. I'm waiting for a reply from them. My son was very disappointed, as were we.
Good product August 23, 2009

This product was fun for the first 2 weeks.. The helium stayed it in for about 2 weeks. i would recommend using tape to enforce the gondola. I got mine filled up at a party store for about 3 dollars. The gondola fell off several times so i recommend holding onto the balloon when you fill it up unless you want it to fly away.
 quite a let down January 12, 2009

I think that the blimp was flawed from the beginning. I purchased it as a gift for my little brother. I had both blimps filled with helium and because we have vaulted ceilings both balloons got stuck up in the crevices of our ceiling without any way to get it down. The propellors that move the balloons have no means of lowering them. As the helium wears off and the blimp can float at a lower height, it could be fun... but until then, we have a blimp and UFO stuck up in our rafters... my brother was underwhelmed... so was I.
