is this thing real? bc if it is, the pricetag is TOTALLY worth it. Strangely, I haven't been able to locate one in the duty-free shops at BWI....

Actually it is real - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/16/business/media/16playmobil.html?_r=0

No, it isn't. It was allegedly a hoax. I checked Playmobil's website, and they don't have it there.

Well, it is on Ebay. Could have been a limited edition, or maybe there was negative reviews and Playmobil discontinued it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-NIB-Playmobil-3172-TSA-Airport-Security-Luggage-Baggage-X-Ray-Checkpoint-/271195345403?pt=Pretend_Play_Preschool_US&hash;=item3f248091fb

Yes it is. I was skeptical myself because of the price. But when it showed up it's definitely the real thing!

out of production, but still in demand i assume. it seemed one of those rare "stand out" models in an otherwise so-so lineup. so i guess it's priced like a collector's item. mine has since failed, and i'd replace it with same -- IF it were still available at original price.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

I'll put it this way. I already own one. I'm purchasing another just because of the kick ass price. crashed it 100x and never broke anything. just remember to power down in case of imminent doom and u should break anything. of course the surface you are "landing" on has alot to do with its durability and mostly i fly over grass. also if you look at the parts, they are all seperate and easy to replace and pretty damn cheap. I had to send mine to helimax right out of the box. the T.A.G.S. was malfunctioning and the transmitter wouldn't always go all the way down on the throttle (bad pot?). anyways they sent me a ups label and had it back to me in no time. I complained that it was my first helimax product and i was disappointed because the heli and the transmitter both were defective but they insisted it was a fluke and upgraded my swash to compensate me for my lost time. that was enough to get my business over and over. They did not question if i had crashed the chopper or not. they took my word for it.

don't worrie it is the actual thing. if you are still unsure you can go to the burchbox website and buy it there. it should be the same price and everything on their website is the real deal. i hope that was helpful if you need any more help please let me know :)

I've flown with mine for years, but just finally had it taken away last month. I figure I got something like 6 years of use out of it. For $6 I'll probably buy a couple of them and keep going with it as part of my standard keychain unless they start to be taken away much more often...

I was wondering the same thing!!! I researched this model and was going to purchase it from Amazon, but heck no at this price!! It is on th Food Saver website for $200.96. There has to be a mistake, or someone is trying to rip people off!

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Local toys stores sell nothing like this little bugger. It's a simple little plastic boat but they got the details right. It's like a little ninja. It's just as good as the videos they show. Like others said, the battery is only for good about 10 min. (I bought a spare), I also wouldn't drive it too far away. Lets face it, if you drive out of the remote range you better be able to swim. I suppose one could say that of any remote boat through. Clearly this is the best small remote boat you can get for the $$. Very satisfied with ours and planning on shelling out $159 for it's big brother before our next camping trip. I play with this one my than my kids :) Local toys stores sell nothing like this little bugger. It's a simple little plastic boat but they got the details right. It's like a little ninja.

It is the real deal. Most retailers in the states and online sell it for less than bandai's marked price. It is a common thing across all channels of commerce. I have this thing built detailed and painted and it is 100% legit

Thanks, karaoke.The day after I posted this, it was "In Stock" again (of course--like washing your car to make it rain). But now it's back to pre-orders. Very odd. But I won't worry about it now whenever I decide to order now.

If it is, it's a good one. It looks exactly like the one in Edwin Watts, but it is $50 cheaper. I think that's the whole point in buying online. If it is counterfeit but performs the same would you have a problem with paying $50 less?
