What is your favorite toy?
I used to have this toy when I was about 8 years old. It was called a Phantom-440 (or something like that). Basically it was a flying saucer that had a fan on its underside. You would charge it up, and then let it go and it would hover about 3 millimeters off the ground and 'float' around.
I have been looking for one everywhere and I keep coming up with nothing. Was that toy just a dream??

Whirlie-Bird.
A helicopter, tethered on a wire, that spun 360 degrees around a base.
It ised actual air current to go forward, back, up, down... but it was tethered. It had a hook to pick stuiff up, etc.

Oh man, I remember that thing. I always wished it would break free from its tether.
I used to have one that sat on a based and you pulled a string and it would launch it into the sky. As a kid, I thought it went at least a mile up, but in reality, it probably only went 50 feet or so.
i want to buy a whirlie bird
