Pocket 'Copter

So, that darn TV..  Jack has been seeing  commercials for the Pocket 'Copter on TV, since right after Christmas.  He got two Air Hog Copters, but this commercial was played on almost every kid channel repeatedly for weeks.  "Can I get one? Can I? Can I"  "Jack, we just got 2 for Christmas" " But not one that "insert his perfectly memorized script from watching the commercial too many times!"  "Sure, Jack.  If we see one in the Store we will get one"
Haha.. I laughed to myself..  I pulled a good one on him... . :::GRIN:: Seen on TV..  And the next time we went to Target he went to the right isle and pulled it right off the shelf..  I could have smacked myself..  :::DUH:::

 

We didn't buy it that night but it broke his poor heart :(  I felt so bad, but I did not have the money to buy it.

Fast forward to Wed.  We went in Toys R US and told Jack he could pick out ANY toy he wanted because he was being good and didn't have a lot to do while we are down here.  He of course picked the :::: drum roll please ::::   The Pocket 'Copter.  Batteries aside, it put us back $36.00  He was in love.

We get home and after we find the right tools to open the battery compartments ( my tweezers!) he gets going.  But it is supposed to charge all night.  We let it..  And The darn thing won't keep a charge.  My mind is set and I tell Jack we are returning it.  There is no way we are keeping it if he can't fly it less than a minute without having to recharge.  We bought TOYS R US brand Batteries. Jack felt the same and wanted to take it back yesterday.   But that didn't stop him from landing in my face this morning with it.. Silly Boy..

 I used the other half of them in the Toy Story RC remote car ( we got it at Good WILL for $8 the other night, I priced it at TRS and its $80!!!  I can't believe what a deal we got, its an awesome toy!!)

So, tonight we took the toy back..  Jack wanted to get another one in another color and I had to tell him no.  He has two helicopters at home he can play with.  I just don't see the sense in buying a toy that is going to be faulty from the start. 

 So, instead Jack bought this... He is BIG time into Toys Story right now...All is happy in toy land tonight :D  He ran around the Hotel room ZOOMing with Buzz and hopefully tomorrow we can find a black permanent marker so he can write Jack on his foot just like the boy in the movie wrote ANDY..
