PicoZ Havoc Battle Set
|

|
RC helicopters? Armed with lasers? Capable of disabling each other's engines? No, we haven't lost our marbles, returned from the future or even overdosed on bad sci-fi; we've been playing with the amazing PicoZ Sky Challenger Set.
Infra red light...poised!
Sky Challenger is the battling helicopter set that allows couch potato pilots to shoot down enemy whirlybirds with a well-placed infra red blast. If you remember the movie Blue Thunder starring him out ofthat guy from Jaws you'll know exactly what we mean. Sort of.
Flashing LED lights!
Actually if you do remember Blue Thunder you're too old to be playing 'woka-woka, I'm going down!' style games. But don't let that put you off because this is one of the most entertaining playthings in the history of pretend aerial warfare.
Look out...incoming 11 o'clock!!
Small and light
Incredibly manoeuvrable maneuverable with nifty auto stability, each rechargeable micro chopper can take off, hover, descend, turn left, right and move forward. And that's just as well because avoiding your opponent's laser requires some pretty fancy moves.
If you do get hit your helicopter's motor temporarily cuts out causing it to spin towards terra firma. But fear not, PicoZ helicopters are surprisingly robust. Besides, once you've honed your skills you should be able to remain airborne and avoid biting the carpet.
Hit that fire button!
You and your opponent control the action via smartwith nifty little handheld transmitters that double up as chargers. They even feature built-in speakers that rata-tat-tat every time you hit the fire button. Thrilling? Conducting mid-air battles with a pair of Sky Challengers is like...erm, well it's like nothing else around because even real helicopters have yet to add laser beams to their weaponry. And even when they do, you won't be able enjoy beam-blasting mid-air battles sitting on the sofa or loafing at your desk. So woka-woka are you waiting for? Look out, incoming 3 o'clock! Atatatatata!
The IR control also doubles up as the recharger for the helicopter!

My Boyfriend is obsessed with his helicopters
Can't stop him playing with them. He loves playing with them more than playing with anything else.

Superb. What else can I say. These helicopters are so much fun they are really durable and very stable, you can have them flying round the front room in no time. There will be many hours spent with my mates and these bad boys.

Amazing, used them in a church hall, so plenty of room, everyone wanted a go and everyone wants to buy them now. Nice one!

Just had first play with these little beauts...hard to get to go in straight line at the moment but quite good fun...once I get the hang of flying will be looking for combat!! :).
Firebox says: that sounds like a challenge to other Fireboxers...

These are amazing, easy to fly and really tough. They can withstand the crashes of the amateur pilot. And the dog fights.
AMAZING!!
Olly, Shoreham - Dec '07 |
These are really great fun. After the old 'I think it's broken' when it kept crashing, I finally got the hang of it.
The only thing that has broken is the tail blade but that was nothing to do with build quality, more to do with someone hitting out of the sky.
PS. Don't fly it around peoples heads.

BANG BOOM. MAY DAY MAYDAY!!
Superb flying helicopters is is like a war zone. Head's up lazers are shooting!

6/5. Lol.

I bought the choppers for my niece for her Christmas present. One broke after 2 hours and I emailed firebox. Com. They asked no questions and replaced them once they were back in stock. I have made 2 further purchases from firebox. Com due to their customer care. I have also reccomended firebox. Com to friends due to their great help and customer care. A company to be trusted!

 | Black Ghost Helicopter
This super-maneuverable little infra-red chopper is ideal for conducting secret missions in the living room. In fact it's so mean-looking you'll be ducking for cover and phoning Area 51 for advice.

 | Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock
Incapable of getting up in the morning? This stupidly loud, Richter-registering alarm clock will sort you out. As well as an ear-splitting 113 decibel alarm, the Sonic Bomb has a vibrating attachment that slips under the mattress and shakes you out of slumberland. Seismic, baby!
