PLEASE READ!
Bought this as a xmas present for step son (7). Impressed with the box but that is where is all stopped. Upon opening very flimsy truck and the helicopter was even worse! 10 AA batteries, yes 10 batteries, were required and then the helicopter has to charge from the remote control (and how long would that last with a 7 yr old!). Was very disappointed as for £60 (Amazon purchased) expected lithium ion batteries at least for the truck. Overall this is not what I expected and so returned for full refund (full credit to Amazon here). I was disappointed that the Gadget show had not taken the battery issue or build quality into review when assessing the score. Unfortunately this will make me think twice when reading Gadget show reviews in the future. Happy to stand corrected and to hear back from the Gadget show. On the look out for an alternative Xmas present now. And just to confirm avid gadget fan with all the boys toys.
