Control your very own Black Hawk helicopter remotely
Remote controlled toys can be fun to play, but more often than not, they tend to offer diminishing returns when it comes to the power consumption. You might take a whole half hour to juice up the battery to its maximum level, and yet are able to pilot the particular drone, or car, for eight to ten minutes, tops. Well, what if I told you that there is the possibility …

Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS lacks the necessary sound effects
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s the $59.99 Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS! Doctor Who fans will definitely be able to identify with this remote controlled toy, especially when it comes in the form factor of the beloved TARDIS. In fact, this has been touted to be the world’s smallest flying TARDIS, and who am I to argue against that particular claim? Apart from that, this also happens …

By George! Who would have thought that dragons actually exist in this day and age? Wait a minute here, it is not as though we have concrete proof (biological ones) that dragons existed in the past other than in drawings and folklore.

Tethercell - Take “Charge” of your Batteries
Oh how the world loves a battery… there aren’t too many toys or gadgets these days that don’t run thru a goodly supply of AA’s. That being said, I certainly wish I had a little more control over how these batteries were used, like how long my kid could play with her toys, or how long a lantern could be left on, or just to make sure things were turned …

Doctor Who R/C Flying TARDIS is a must have for Dr. Who fans
If you are an avid fan of the Dr. Who series, you would most probably have your fair share of DVDs (special editions and the rest of the regular airports) as well as merchandise in your home, but there is always room for one more, right?

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Elite Edition takes the camouflage route
When we were young (and I am referring to just three decades or so thereabouts, where remote controlled toys involved the use of many a D sized battery, not to mention that they tend to arrive in the form of a robot that moves around in one direction until it bumps into an obstacle, where it will then turn to a different direction, flashing eyes and a bulb on its …
