How to further stalk ThinkGeek:

[Guywithcrazyideas]

I remember back in the Eighties, the wind-up version of these were super expensive and they wanted everyone to be a dealer.

[Hathyy]

I bought one of these as a kid, from France, it was exactly the same as this, but it was wind up, twice as big and a third of the price...

[matricepeinard]

That must be awesome to work in think Geek (please translate the website in french).

[MrAnAvocado]

8 minute flight time, 12 minutes to charge via the controller.

[ValmisFilm]

how long does it fly with one charge??

you do realize he says "BUT it was a wind-up" right?

[synergy]

It looks cool but by the nature of its motion I'd guess that it breaks in a relatively short time because of the stresses associated with the jarring mechanics.

[Bcjc]

I want to see a video where a hawk swoops down and grabs it! :D

[AsherGrace]

$100 seems steep, but I see Amazon is selling it for $145- so I guess this is a good deal? Like a lot of people, I just don't have the extra cash for that sort of thing. It would be cool for 30mins (battery life is only 8 minutes) and then I would be bored with it.

[starlightmist]

This is the exact same as those Flytech Dragonflies you could get at walmart for $20

[Hathyy]

Yeah, I'm just saying, that shouldn't cost £100 for abit for electricity flowing through it.

[keyswag]

You people should be ashamed for posting these comments

[gristmaster]

... you do realize this is remote control and not a wind-up right?

[gmy]

non of these vids show touch down .. so i guess its....

[Hepbae]

100 dollars, what that's worth like 15 bucks

[Makron]

Shit, if they lowered the price a little and made one that looked like a bat, I'd be so into it.

[NWguy]

The tail all the way down is useless, and the wings are very fragile.

Yes sure but your comment doesn't have a point either really.

[chris]

shame
