Remote control Flying dinosaur – The Pterosaur
Remote control toys are often pretty cool, examples being R2D2 and the wall climbing car, and some are just plain old wacky, R/C Sumo wrestlers and the farting teddy spring to mind. I’m not sure yet which category this one falls in, Pterosaur, the remote control flying dinosaur.
As well as resembling palaeontology’s favourite winged lizard, this remote controlled reptile flies around by flapping its membranous wings in a highly realistic (we imagine) fashion. No really!
Ready-to-fly straight out of the box, Pterosaur will be flapping through the air faster than you can grunt “unk umgawa” in your best caveman voice. (Yes, we know dinosaurs and humans never actually co-existed, but that didn’t stop Doug McClure or Raquel Welch, so it’s certainly not going to stop us).
Pterosaur can be yours from Firebox for £49.95 (~$100 at todays crazy exchange rate).
Our favorite portable ice maker is the Sentern Portable Countertop Clear. The quality of ice cubes this machine produces is above all the others we’ve looked at. Its superior insulation allows you to store ice in it for an extended period of time.
After careful evaluation or top choice is the ”[amazon. The five blade assemblies included in the initial purchase are doing an incredible job and will be more than enough for home-use.
Our favorite vegetable chopper is the Fullstar Mandoline Slicer. It offers a vegetable cutter, mandoline slicer, and spiralizer all in one package. On top of that you’ll get a large collection bin and it’s made from BPA-free plastic.
Our favorite mesh Wi-Fi system is the TP LINK Deco M5. It allows you to connect up to 100 devices and covers 5,500 square feet, which would even be enough for an office.
