The Battling X-Wing And Tie Fighter Drones

These are the remote-controlled classic space fighters from Star Wars that battle against each other in a contest of galactic supremacy. Guided by easy-to-control remotes, each fighter takes off from a standing position, powered by four rotors that provide left, right, up, down, and left/right lateral drifting movement for achieving a hovering firing position. A button on each remote fires an infrared “laser” from the front of each spacecraft in an attempt to wing an opponent, accompanied by movie-authentic X-Wing and Tie Fighter laser cannon pulse sounds. A direct hit “wobbles” an opponent in mid-air and causes its remote’s display to flash—three hits shoots down the opponent, which causes it to land gently. Spin and drift trim levers on each remote fine-tune flight performance. Each fighter’s rechargeable battery provides 15-minute space duels from a 45-minute charge via the controller (or via a computer using the two included USB cables). Requires 12 AA batteries. Ages 8 and up. (2 3/4 lbs.)
