    Got one of these a couple week’s ago for my husband. He knew about it, but I told him he couldn’t have it until Christmas. He keeps asking me where it is. lol Just ordered another one. I’m sure I will find some other boy, ahem, man to give it to. lol Thanks Colin!

  7. Diane

    Awesome! Thank you!

  8. Stacy

    Thank You!!! My daughter has been harrassing me for one of these!!!

  9. Darby

    Thanks for this. My hubby has been whining for the last month that he has always wanted a remote control helicopter and i just ordered him this and he is going to be so excited!

  10. Shelly

    Thanks for posting this! I used my swagbucks to pay for it! YOU ARE AWESOME! 🙂

    • sturgissaver

      Yay for swagbucks!!! I just did the same thing. My husband is a pilot and just bought a cheapy while waiting in an airport a couple weeks ago. I’m sure it will be broken by Christmas. So this will be perfect and I paid less than he did 🙂

  11. thecents2save

    OMG you rock!!!! My husband was literally just saying he wanted one of these a few days ago. Yippee!!!!

  12. Megan

    Thanks! This should free up some “mom time” while all three of my kids (aged 38, 3 and 18mo.) play with this thing! :o)

  13. michelle

    HAD to snag it- it will be a gift to booth my hubby and 4 year old son. They love the fancy RC cars… and have been talking about getting a helicopter ( my husband is a helo mechanic… makes sense, right?)
    They will be very excited to find this from Santa this year !!! for under 30 bucks, who can pass that up???
    Thank you!!

  14. Leesa

    Thank you!!!!! My brother-in-law is going to LOVE this!

  15. Julie

    The deal is great! I may still buy one, but be careful, flight time is only about 5 minutes before it needs to be recharged for an hour or so 🙁

  16. Tara M

    Shelly-How did you use your swagbucks to pay for it?

    • nikki d

      use your swagbucks to purchase amazon gift cards! they take almost a week to post to your account- that’s the only bad part! 🙂

  17. Kathryn

    I got one for my hubby earlier today!! Super excited.

  18. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    My husband has been “jokingly” asking for this too–in a very serious way. What is the deal with all these grown men wanting this flying toy. At any rate, I am glad to spend money on one that seems to be of good quality rather than on that will die on the first flight! THANKS COLIN!!!

  19. Jalene Soto

    Thanks for this find. I am going to bring it to my family gift exchange.

  20. donna gustin

    not sure what a good deal this is… think the $127 orginal price is a typo. i googled it and looks like they are regularly price about $50.00, it’s half off, but not a $130 value… just wanted to share…

    • Cat W.

      Yeah, I think you’re right. If you go to the manufacturer’s site, there’s a review from March that says “best $30 I ever spent” https://www.xheli.com/newsy3chs1mi.html

    • Rachel

      I found the same thing, so I emailed Amazon to either fix it or verify how they got that original price 🙂

      • kristen

        Another review from July says it was $30, too. Everyone raves that it’s a great helicopter for the price, so I’m sure if you were going to buy one this is a great deal. I’ve seen Amazon’s “List prices” be so exorbitantly far off on a lot of items – if you want to find out the real retail you’re better off googling the item.

  21. Alli H

    THANKS! Got one! Now to decide to give it to hubby or our almost 8 year old. lol!

  22. Tishab0407

    Got one for my man… he say every single year about how he never had a remote control helicopter growing up and how much he wants one… now he’s gonna finally get one! =) thanks!

  23. Erin

    wow, thanks!! i got my niece, nephew, and one of my husband’s Christmas presents bought on here in the past two days!! and only spent $27.00 OOP thanks to swagbucks and amazon gift cards!! thank you collin 🙂

  24. Michelle

    I just ordered one-regarding the super saver shipping; is that something I need to cancel later or I will be charged for?

    • Turboturtle_8

      If you signed up for the PRIME trial, yes, you need to cancel it or it will charge you a $79 annual fee.

    • colleen

      no. it’s free. they have it for some items when your total is over $25.

  25. Rei

    Yay! My hubby has been wanting one for years!!! Thank you 🙂

  26. shannon

    LOL i was going to try to cash in swagbucks for an amazon gift card, and i only had 402…and they cost 450…i did a search for “what the heck!!!!” and won 50 swagbucks…SCORE! haha

    • shannon

      awww you dont get the egift card immediately bummer lol

      • Kelly B

        I just searched the same thing and won 50! 🙂

      • Suzie

        No it takes about a week, but this deal has been up for awhile so it will probally still be good next week :).. Awesome SwagBucks Score 🙂

  27. Jene'

    Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I saw some identical to this at the mall for $70. I thought that was a little much to pay for my little guy to maybe just end up breaking it! I bought one for him and one for my nephew!!!!

  28. Michelle

    Is the super saver shipping option something I have to cancel later?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      No super saving shipping is offered free on lots of items at Amazon usually $25 or more.

  29. cindy

    Awesome! Just got it for my 13 year old nephew. He will LOVE it!! And between this and the $12 embroidered fleece throws at Disney, I just finished my Christmas shopping for all my nieces and nephews!!!!

  30. fmeshey

    Just bought one for my hubs! He’s been talking about getting one for years. His name is Colin, too! 🙂 And the best part is I used my swag bucks to buy it!

  31. TXWife

    Collin, you ROCK! My brother has been wanting this for such a long time. I am so excited to give it to him for his birthday in December!

  32. Anita

    Will have my 3 year old daughter give to her daddy….great gift idea, thank you!!!

  33. patti

    i looked and saw that the original price might have been a typo, you can get them on the internet for about $30…HOWEVER…coming from a family who has spent a small fortune on remote control flying things, this looks like it is a much better value than the ones you can buy in the toy isle at any department store and with a much better price! the reviews look great. and with free shipping, who can complain??

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Um the shipping for this one is 11.49 so it makes it more expensive since the Amazon shipping is free.

      • Tabitha

        If you order more than 1 it is a few dollars cheaper-

      • WickedTruth

        And the ratings for the seller of the $18.24 item aren’t the greatest either.

    • Darcie

      after looking into this from this other site it appears that getting it directly from amazon is better

  34. Suzie

    Haha I was thinking the same thing.. The age on the toy says 14+, but I know my 8 year old will love it when he sees it.. Might give it to daddy and let him play with it..lol

  35. Carolyn H.

    I could not believe my eyes when I saw this post!!! The price is insane AND I can use my amazon gift cards from swagbucks!!! My hubby has been bugging me for one of these stinkin’ things for 2 years now but the prices were too high for us. Just ordered it and cannot wait to get it in the mail, wrap that baby and watch him smile like a little boy on Christmas. THANK YOU!!!!!

  36. MrsG

    Thank you this will make for an awesome present for my nephew who we have a spending limit on. I can’t wait to see more great deals.

  37. Sara

    You end up paying over $29 with shipping though. The amazon.com deal is better.

  38. Samantha Booker

    Just paid 1.19 for one after using my gift cards from Swagbucks!! My hubby will be happy; his flimsier heli has had several crashes and it’s just not the same. My two year old will be happy, too since she enjoys Daddy chasing her,,,,at least the cat is no longer indoors! =)

    • Darcie

      but amazon is cheaper by almost $3. and i doubt the other site’s free shipping is for 2-day

  39. Katie

    I just ordered one for my hubby too! And I used 3 $5 gift cards that I had redeemed from Swagbucks making it one sweet deal!

  40. Tina

    Sweet deal. I will have one happy boy Christmas morning. Thanks Colin!

  41. Rebecca

    This make and model is on other sites for similar prices….maybe not free shipping, but certainly not the stellar deal it looked like at first. 😉

  42. kimberly

    I just got one on swagbucks!!!! Just thrilled but not more than my hubby will be. He was all set for an air hog becasue he finally flew his to death. This is such a better deal. Thank Colin!

  43. Olivia Smith

    Just ordered one for my fiance’s Christmas present- he’s gonna love it! Thank YOU!

  44. Anonymous

    I saw this deal on amazon 2 weeks ago. It’s rather deceptive though bc I almost bought it immediately at such a “great” markdown. But you can find this toy at this price everywhere else on the web. All the toy & hobby stores have it at this price- even ebay! I don’t know why Amazon has the “Original” price so high. Don’t fall for it. It’s an awesome deal, but you can get it anytime.

  45. rebate queen

    Thanks–got one for my honey also and used some Amazon gift cards that I got from Swagbucks. I only paid $17.20 OOP!

    • LaToya

      That’s exactly what I did – first time using my Swagbucks and so excited about it.

      Sounds like the price should have said $29.95 instead of $129.95…but for $17.20 OOP, it’s a great gift from Santa.

  46. megan

    does anyone know about replacing parts? it seems like the heli is cheap but do you have to replace the part quickly/frequently? seems like that is were the real cost it.

  47. Todd Kinley

    This is not a deal. It is $2 off the price that most sites have it for.
