Thanks OP!

Awesome...huge Star Wars fan here...so bought the "Propel Star Wars Speeder Bike Battling Quadcopter Drone" and "Propel Star Wars X-Wing Battling Quadcopter Drone"...each also for $39.99 ($50 off price for a few days). I am especially excited about the Speeded Bike...it looks amazing hovering it around.

Also, the Boxes and Packaging for these Drones is the best I have ever seen. They have music and sound effects when you open the box...and the box lights up...and also the Remote control has a speaker with sound and sound effects....and you can connect your phone (attach it) to the Remote Control and use VR Training and Battle App. It's so cool!

As for a "Propel Star Wars TIE Fighter Battling Quadcopter Drone", what I didn't like about it is that it looks too weird and bulky as a TIE Fighter (especially with the 4 propellers underneath it)....and it is actually thicker and wider at the bottom...it looks weird.

So for those reasons I didn't get it. I may consider getting it to complete the drone collection if it gets cheaper again, but not really excited about how it looks.

I actually only wanted the Speeder Bike...but the X-Wing looked tempting too....but not as thick or bad as the TIE Fighter drone...so I just decided to get it too.

By the Way, what I like about these specific the Star Wars drones besides the build quality and amazing boxes...is that they are each professionally "Hand Painted" too...so very high quality stuff I think.

Cheers!

I bought the Sphero R2D2, and I really want to get the Sphero BB-8, but only if it drops to $39.99 or less even. I hope it does.

Buyer beware, if a motor blows or you need replacement parts, customer service takes a month to reply your emails and they don't pick up your calls. I have one and I read that after a couple hours of playing the motor will go. So now I'm afraid to play with it. At least the presentation looks good

Saw the title, and I'm picturing flying battle bots. lol
For others wondering what this is, here's what I found describing how it "battles": (not as epic as I imagined lol)

Canada,Eh!
Since these are so unique, I'm assuming that there aren't any replacement parts available.

Even @ $40 it's a bit much for something which isn't hobby-grade & disposable if broken.

Still good from a Star Wars Collectible point of view.

But it would just be sitting there...begging to be played with...just asking to be destroyed.

It was $39.99 this morning. I reserved two at that price. When I went in to pick them up in the afternoon the prices had gone back up to $89.99. I showed them the confirmation email with the $39.99 price and they honored it... looks like some confusion at the corporate level. Or a flash sale.

Seems it's back to $69.99 now.

Whoever played with these for a couple of hours must have been really rough with them...and drones and R/C planes/choppers are much more delicate than their Car R/C counterparts.

Also, these only last for only 8 minutes per 30 minute quick-charge. So you can't use them for 2 hours straight...that would blow any motor of any R/C electric toy.

Also, there is a beginner mode that does not allow the drone to fly higher than two meters off the ground, and prevents also the drone from the risk of impact too close to the ground.

Add to that, there is an automatic safe take off and safe landing option for beginners.

Additionally, for complete newbies who want to fly it while protecting the propellers, there is a bumper frame that fits around the whole drone's lower fran and propellers.

I don't know how much more protection one can ask for unless they plan on constantly crashing the drones into obstacles....for fun?

Finally, they pack in about 3 times over worth of spare propellers with the box just in case you need to replace almost all 4 of the propellers..about 3 times. That is pretty generous.

Also, they include a spare battery pack.

With the Speeder Bike drone, they even throw in a spare "Scout Trooper" figure in case you damage or lose the main one.

Check out the Blogger "product video review" for the Speeder Bike or X-Wing drones from the Best Buy page for each of those two products for a lot more details on this. Cheers!

Actually, we're lucky the Speeder Bike price did not go up, because as I said above...it is actually the BEST one out of all 3 in my opinion.

So, your better off getting the Speeder Bike anyway if you were to choose one out of the 3 models.

What is weird is why did the X-Wing one go up so much in price all of a sudden? I am guessing it's the default most popular one of the 3 among general public buyers.

Still unfortunately not the original discounted price of $39.99 for the X-Wing drone...but it dropped to $69.99 now instead of the $89.99 price it was brought back to earlier.

When I was picking mine up yesterday, the sales guys were really surprised that it was every listed at $39.99. I think someone in head office was either trying to generate some spontaneous interest to sell off some inventory before re-adjusting the price back to the $69 sale price it's been at for the past couple of weeks.

That, or someone made a booboo.
