I got this toy for Christmas (I'm 15 by the way) and it was so cool. Me and my brother took this out to a soccer field, and it almost went over the huge fence and into another neighborhood, but instead it sat stuck in a tree straddling the fence. I mean, you can't have fun with this toy if you are going to stress about where it's going and if it's going to break. I mean I've crashed it so many times, it's not even funny. The only downside to it is the short battery life, but nonetheless, even if I didn't get it for Christmas, I can envision myself buying this. I found ourselves recharging it twice just for a little flight time. I probably didn't even need to be charged that much to fly the same amount. It's fun though when chases you. Also, the lack of directional control is what makes it fun and unpredictable. I can already tell, I will be using this a lot.
