Megatech Party Blimp, with Music, Lights and Stencils

Reader Reviews
My almost-13-year old really wanted this blimp for Christmas. Unfortunately, when he opened it Christmas morning, one of the propellers and its small engine were broken off in the box. Emailing with Megatech was a little frustrating until I realized that a different tech person reads your replies. If you have a problem, copy all emails each time you respond. They did finally agree to a return. I paid for shipping back. They returned a new blimp at no cost, but it took a month. When my son started assembling the new blimp, one of the "stalks" to which the side propellers and their engines are attached broke off. I saw it happen, and it literally broke in his hand. He was being careful, and doing nothing unsual. We could have both cried, but super glue resolved the problem so that he was finally able to use the blimp. Now that it's up and running, we're all impressed. It's huge (much larger appearing than the illustration) and maneuvers very well. The lights and music choices make it really smile-worthy. I'd give it 5 stars, if not for the problems with it breaking. We have high ceilings, which is good, because the blimp would be very vulnerable outside. It's very light weight (out of necessity, I imagine) and probably not for younger children as it would never stand up to any rough treatment. It's not as sleek as the ilustration, either, with fold wrinkles across the balloon portion, although maybe it could be blown up very tightly for something closer to that effect. Don't forget you'll need to buy helium, and a tank runs around $20.
