Are you kidding me???

Just ran across this on Amazon. JC Penney is selling the Syma S107 under the name Tiger Jet for $80!!! It can be bought for $12-$15 easily online!

What a rip-off!

I thought $80 was about the standard price for the S107? At least it was a year ago when I won one in a raffle, then researched it to see what I could sell it for as I don't do helis (they are evil, evil machines! ).

If they are $12 to $15 on the web, is that new or refurbished? Seems too low to me. Heck, I just bought two micro copters from Walgreens on Turkey Day for $12, and that's just a little el cheapo throw away bird.

I paid $24.95 for mine about 9 months ago. I've seem them on Amazon for $15.95 for a while now. Xheli sells them for $29.95.

I may be thinking of another model. The one I had was bigger than the S107, and only a single rotor.

I think I paid $25 for mine delivered to my door.

same here,i think it was around $20 and a few bucks for delivery.

great little copters for indoor fun.....but the symas have copies[knockoffs]that arn't as well built. i also saw them on line where you see different sellers side by side....some $20...some $60,what a rippoff.

I have seen this one in Marshalls for around 15 bucks. They also had some very nice full bells and whistles for less than half price...the problem is....get there before grandmom does!! For me, its hard to buy anything from xheli, one day its one price, the next it marked up 30 bucks....then back down a few...I've never seen such marketing. Ordered a tiny CH-47 for one price (these are priced from 12 bucks to 30 bucks everywheres) then later that day, it was almost half price..when I asked to get it at the low price, they had no idea what I was talking about. O-well, tis Christmas!
