Happy #ForceFriday! Here’s how you can order your own Millennium Falcon drone
Disney has dubbed today “Force Friday,” although it’s really just an excuse for the company and its toy manufacturer partners to sell a new round of Star Wars-themed toys. Two new toys that we thought would be of interest to BGR readers are a pair of aerial drones that are designed to look like the iconic Millennium Falcon and X-Wing Fighter spaceships.
Per Gizmodo, toy manufacturer Air Hogs has released two new Star Wars-themed drones modeled after the two most popular ships from the films. Here is the description of the Millennium Falcon drone:
Air Hogs’ Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon Quad is a powerful remote controlled quad copter with 2.4 GHz control, 4 channel and gyro-stabilization that provides amazing stability and flight performance. Authentic lights and sounds, and a push button Hyperspace mode will have users convinced they are Han Solo.
And for the X-Wing Fighter:
Air Hogs Star Wars X-Wing gives fans the chance to fly their very own highly detailed X-Wing, complete with blasters and R2-D2. The 2.4 GHz signal delivers a 250ft range while the powerful ducted fans provide a fast and controlled flight.
You can order the Air Hogs Millennium Falcon drone from Amazon on sale for just $88. Walmart, meanwhile, is selling the X-Wing drone for just $59.86.
