Hawk Eye

From Air Hogs comes the amazing Hawk Eye:

As you can see, it has a one-of-a-kind design that allows it to move easily and steadily. With the Hawk Eye, you can take pictures and videos and upoad them straight to your computer! You can manuver it around and see what the Hawk Eye sees right from your computer. It's very similar to one of my recent posts, the Drone, but it costs less. The Hawk Eye goes for about $60.00-$100.00 depending on your store. I haven't got the chance to buy it yet because I still haven't sold my phone! But I might get one soon, so count on it!

CUPONK!

Cuponk! A creative game (kinda) that involves a ball, and a cup. Object: get the ball in the cup, DUH.

the image above is the kind I bought. The game comes with 2 official CUPONK balls, 30 stunt cards, CUPONK cup, and backboard. The batteries however are not included. First, you insert the 3 AAA batteries. Next turn on the Cuponk cup. It will light up and make sounds. Last, you play the game by first, getting 1 or more people to join you or you can play it solo, decide who goes first and keep it that way. you then draw a stunt card which will show you with an image on the card how you have to shoot it. The stunts use ordinary household objects such as stairs, tables, armchairs, and even ice cream scoops! In the corner of the card, it tells you how many tries you get to make it into the cup. Example, if it  has the number 3 in the corner, you have 3 shots to do the stunt that is shown on the card. When you make the shot with your Cuponk ball (aka, ping-pong ball with the word Cuponk and an image on it), the cup will light up and make sounds, the person who made the shot gets the card. First person to 3 stunt cards wins. For advanced rules, got through the entire deck of cards and see who gets the most. The beuty of the game is that you can make up your own shots too. It's a lot like mini golf. At first when I saw it on TV, I thought it looked kinda stupid, but once I bought it, I found it to be an extremely fun use of time and I'd recomend it to anyone. There's a bunch of different cup designs and each package costs about $15.00, but it's extremely fun and something that you'll never want to give up.

Ipod Drone

Behold, the newest and hightest technology RC vehicle, the DRONE:

The Drone uses 4 copter blades to give it lift. After it takes off, you control it using your iTouch, iPad, or iPhone. The cool thing is, you don't even have to watch it. It has a camera built into it and you see what it sees on the screen of your device. It has a HUGE range and is super cool. You control it by tilting your device in the way that you want it to go. You can fly multiple Drones at a time which makes it perfect for mid-air battles. The copter protecter is removable, but it's recomended to stay on to ensure that the propellers are safe. I haven't bought one because I don't have an ipod touch, iphone, or ipad (which STINX) but the reviews are really good. They cost $299.00+ but they're definately worth the pay! Great for those people who have everything.

Airhogs Switchblade

Here's the incredible SWITCHBLADE!


The switch blade is the first two in one jet!





I got one of these for christmas last year and it was SOOO fun! But I suggest for longest life, you get one of these before winter. For one, the wet snow is not good for the engine, and two, the motor works best at temperatures above F40.
I warn you, do NOT attempt to fly around the street or trees. The first day I had it, I took it outside and tried to fly it. It first crashed on the asphault and then got stuck at the top of a tree, so I had to climb up it and poke it with a rake to get it down.  When I crashed it on the asphault, Part of the wing broke a little bit. I fixed it up with some duct tape and it worked fine. The only problem with the controller is that it doesn't allow you to go up, but it does climb the air allowing you to gain great altitudes. It says that it has a range of a hundred yards, buy I think i've got it further. When you take it to a nice, big park, it is extremely fun! They used to cost about $60.00, but now, you can buy them on amazon for about $25.00. They're easy to fly and will provide a LOT of fun!

Yeah, it's more meant to buy as like a birthday party or a dare or something. If you want something that you might actually be able to eat by your self and is just to cool to be denied, try this:


You can buy this one for about $10.00, and the largest for $30.00-$40.00. They make perfect gifts and come in many different flavors! I suggest you try one out! Check them out on vat19.com
