They have been out for a while now, but they are still cool. I've even seen them used at the Mighty Ducks hockey games around here. They float them around just above the chairs as advertisement. The best part about them is when they start running out of helium and fall. You can even turn them into a little Hindenburg if you'd like. Makes for some great entertainment.

So apparently they're advertising their awesome toy on their website, but there is no option to buy one or even see the price?
I predict a bankruptcy is in their future.

One of my coworkers had one. You have to ensure you get high quality helium put into them. He filled his at the local grocery store and it didn't have enough buoyancy to actually float once the motor and attachments were added.

Nice correct use of there, their, and they're! I feel like it's a losing battle sometimes.

Haven't spent much time in shopping malls around the holidays, huh?  Saw these at the Fox River Mall in Appleton about 7-8 years ago when I was running the Dell store. Almost bought one, then thought better of it.

Never seen these in a mall, but those guys running the little toy kiosks always have me on edge when I have to walk under their RC helicopters.
Anything that crashes into me I get to keep.
