Boys and their toys

Inspired by this thread I want a helicopter

I don’t think boys ever grow up, and are always attracted to toys, especially fast or cool things. Trains, planes, toy cars, real cars, motorbikes, you name it…

Some of mine include:

  • Picooz mini battery RC copter
  • RC car (nitro, smoky noisy, rotting away)
  • RC plane, thunder tiger sport 40 (gathering dust hanging from my ceiling)
  • RC copter, thunder tiger raptor 30 (gathering dust)
  • Meade telestar DS2114 telescope (computer guided, so no need to understand anything about astronomy, in the closet)
  • PS2 mini (in my hotel room here in china… ahh)
  • Dopod CHT9100

Things I currently want or an interested in include a Wii and learning to kite-surf. Ohh and would love a big bike, got my license back in the UK… not gotten one here yet thou :frowning:

So what toys gadgets do you have or want to get?

I love Hello Kitty! She’s so ke ai ooooooo!!!

3

I think toys are cool. And if someone says you have too many toys, tell them to stop counting ! See one of my toys below.

4

She looks fun to drive.
And the bike doesn’t look bad either. :wink:

5

I want the Gulfstream G5 but that is only John Grisham’s fault.

6

I just got a robo flying Dragonfly. Its fun but hard to use. I love my toys.

7

Did you get that in Taiwan?

8

Ya. Got it at Nice Plaza in ChiaYi, but I seen it cheaper at a yellow 3c in Kending!

9

Any idea where I can get one in Taipei? …and how much was it?

10

look for a mall that sells the Robo-raptor or Robo-sapien (sp?). Like one of the big malls or “101 toys city” .

This looks like it:

price?

12

It was about 1200Nt$

13

That’s cool… when flying does it flap its wings ? and what sort of directional controls does it have ?

14

Ya. It flaps verily. This moves it forward. It has a tail roter to turn it. This takes some steady hand to keep it strait. It is hard to turn or to keep straight until you get to know it. Don’t expect to be an expert the first time.

It also needs a big not windy space. Outside on no wind days or in a big gym area.

I’ve seen them for sale in Carrefour in Taichung (Taichung Central Dept. Store). Was gunna pick one up, but didn’t bring enough cash that day (and forgot the credit cards).

My toys:

PS2
Desktop PC built for gaming (except speakers are not great) - was great at it’s time.
Laptop
Hornet 250 (to be replaced with something bigger as soon as I get the green light)
Nokia N95 - as soon as I can get my hands on one (keeps getting delayed, now released at the end of May)

The toy store in the basement at the 101 mall has the PicooZ micro helicopter on sale at NTD899. Couldn’t resist but I am disappointed by the very short flight time.

17

Going to a toy store in a basement for my dream toy is really not my first thought. The Gulfstream? Ya. The girl on the bike - OH YA!, Yaght with heli-pad is more in my mind. Don’t think I will find that in the bargain basement. Hell, I don’t think I will find it at all. But, such is life.
