Strawz

Here's something fun:

STRAWZ!

Strawz made drinking a simple glass of water fun!

The package above includes 12 large strawz, 12 small strawz, and 20 flexible connecters. See the video of  all the crazy ideas that you can do with Strawz at Vat19.com. Strawz go for about $10.00 and below. They make fun gifts, and don't worry about washing, just run some warm water into each of them. I haven't bought them yet, but if I do, I'll leave a comment, and if you buy them, leave a comment so I know if I should buy them.

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!

The World's Largest Gummy Bear!!!

Behold, the beast of all the gummy bears, the GIANT GUMMY BEAR!


The giant gummy bear is equivalant to 1400 regular sized gummy bears, is worth 90 servings, weighs 5 pounds, and has 12,600 calories! That's enough to feed a family for a while! It can be stored and saved by putting it on a plate, wrapping it in plastic wrap, and putting it in the fridge/pantry. I bought one, and almost finished the head. 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

RC Super Powers

Here's something worth watching:

The thing I like about these guys is that they make all their planes and fly them. Another thing I like is that they crash alot :).  Now unfortunately, they don't sell planes, but they sell designs for their planes so you can make the planes that they fly! They're not very expensive, all you need is a little time to build with. Their designs go from about $10.00 to $13.00. If you want more videos and want to buy a design, go to rcsuperpowers.com. Enjoy!

The Neocube

Watch out Rubix Cube, a new cube is in town. The Neo Cube. One of my fovoritest toys ever!

The new cube made of hundreds of small rare earth magnets. One small ball that's roughly only a third of a centimeter long is capable of holding up to 5+ pieces of paper onto a magnetic surface. Composed of 216 small magnetic balls, there's infinite possibilities! I bought one not to long ago, but I lost most of the balls, so sold the rest to my cousin for 10 and he LOVED them, so they make a great gift. You could make it into beutiful shapes. Go to theneocube.com for patterns and ideas. One of my favorite things to do with it was make a dartboard or other design of them on my fridge, and throw them one-by-one onto the fridge trying to hit the target. It's also proven to relieve stress and become an addiction. You coan make a pencil holder, bring it to the office, create to your hearts content! They price for about 25-30 dollars. So go ahead! try on out! You'll love it!

Recomended for people ages 12+

Paper Jamz

A few of you might have seen a comercial of one of these, but if you haven't, check it out:

A toy from Wowwee Robotics. It's a paper flat, stringless guitar which you can rock along to real band, play real chords, and make up your own songs. Some people think it's fake, but it's not! I bought this flying V model and it's awesome! You strum the touch sensative surface and it makes sounds. The first 10 frets with white dots are the active freats. You hold combinations of them down to make real chords! There are seven different modes that you can see on the sides of the frets. There is Song1, Song2, and Song3. Song settings allow you to be an instant rockstar! All you have to do is strum out the guitar part of the song in no particular order, but if you don't strum, there will be no guitar part. Each guitar model has differents songs from different bands. There's also Rythym1, Rythym2, and Rythym3. In rythym mode, you have to strum in rythym to the guitar part and instead of recorded sound from the band, it plays chords that you can play in freestyle mode. Freestyle mode is where you hold down frets to create chords and make your own songs (my personal favorite mode.) For drummers, there's this model: 

Drums!

Drums! Each drum makes it's own unique sound just like real drums, and all you have to do is touch it. They're basically just like the guitar, except, drums!I haven't bought one of these yet, so I don't know if it's worth the money yet, but it looks pretty cool! There are other accesories you can buy for the guitar like:

Amp and Guitar stap. You put the strap on the guitar for easier playing and hook the amp up to the guitar for louder, clearer sound.

The price of these items is lower than I thought they'd be before I bought them. The drums and guitar are $25.00 dollars each, the amp is $15.00, and the strap is $5.00. I suggest you buy one. They're a ton of fun and make great birthday/christmas preasents!

X-zylo Flying Gyroscope

Okay, new flying thing! Check this out:

It's called the X-zylo ultra. It's capable of flights up to 600 feet! That's 2 football fields long! It works with just the snap of your wrist. What you do is throw it side armed. It spins and flies through the air.

For the beginners, try the X-zylo Air rider:

All you have to do to throw it simply whip or snap it under the legs, behind the back, or right in front of you. Easier to throw than a frisbee and you can throw it 100 feet effortlessly. Both of these price for about $8.00 and DEFINATELY worth the money. I just bought the ultra on vat19.com the other day, so I'll post a comment when it comes and say if it's worth the money! 

The slush mug

Okay, so there's this REALLY cool thing I found on vat19.com that really got me interested. It's called "The Original Slush Mug."

             The reason that I find this interesting is because it turns ANY kind of drink into a delicious slushy, except for diet drinks. The secret is the white part in that holds the slushy called the Glacier Core. All that you have to do is put it in the freezer for at least 6 hours, stick it in the mug, pour in your drink of choice, stir ocasionally for about six minutes, and before you know it, you've got a slushy! You can make slushies in flavors you never thought possible like milk, coffee, or anything else! They price at about $10.00, but I haven't gotten one yet due to the helicopter accident which we all know about. They make great chreistmas/ birthday preasents, so I suggest that you try one out! Leave a comment!

Kopter Krazy

Okay, so the other day, I went to a really cool RC place called Kopter Krazy and I bought a couple things. The first thing I got was a micro helicopter, no bigger then the palm of my hand called a sky king or u-control and it only cost $20.00, but he gave me 5 bucks off (for reasons that I don't know) . I got the red model of course because who doesn't like red? I couldn't wait to get home and crack it open. I got home, opened it up and it came with the helicopter, 3 Chanel controller, built in headlights, and instructions booklet. I put in 6 double As into controller and started charging. It takes roughly 20 minutes to charge. I was surprised on how powerful it was. It went up, and down (when it hit the ceiling). I was being careless and crashed. I tried again with more success, but I had to adjust the trim because it was turning to strongly right and it worked fine after that.

          The next day, I woke up and started flying again, but with an epic crash, the outer covering smashed. I put it back together with time, but  the headlights weren't in quite properly, but it still worked. Later when I wanted to fly, it wouldn't even turn on. I put it on the charger and it started charging, but it still wouldn't turn on. I got online for support, but I couldn't find anything. I gave up the thing and went back there and my dad bought the droid of all micro helicopters called, the S107. It is BEAST!!! It can remain stationary in the air, it can go forward and backward, has a light that flashed from red to blue, and it emits a LOT of air, making it VERY powerful, I LOVE it! But unfortunately, I can't fly it without my dad's permission, but it is fun!

         If there is anyone who has a helicopter that they don't want, please leave a comment because I would LOVE it!
