John,

I bought three at a Wal-Mart in Victoria BC last week.

One I am keeping and the other two I just sold to guys at work.

Sorry didn't see this post first. :( :(

I can check my local Wal-Mart and see if they have any more in stocl now.

The Victoria Wal-Mart had 48 in stock, well 45 after I bought my thre! :wink: :lol:

Ask the store manager to order in a case or two. If they sell that well he should be happy to.

Fun to fly indoors to get out of the snow !!!

Thanks Jim for the offer.....I would want 3 if they still have any.

I checked at my own local Wal-Marts and their record indicates that there are none let in the warehouse in Canada.

Can I continue to hope for one ? Only Jim knows this.

We have an army of modelers out east looking for them. There is none from Maritimes to Ontario. Could someone do me a favor and pick a few (3) for me. I'll pay all including the shipping and a coffee to booth. Just tell me the amount.

Hi john,I'll pick up three tonight if you would like and mail them to you this weekend.What colours would you like?They had them with the yellow stickers,red stickers,or blue stickers on them.they are $29.99 plus tax each .I will leave you the receipt in the box with them when I ship them,so if you have a problem with any of them you can take it back to your own walmart.cliff

Cliff,

Your diligent attention to my request is so greatly appreciated. Red and blue would have suited well. Maybe someone else can help as I know they are going fast.

I'll still owe you a coffee...thanks again for being so kind.

If you're after 3, you might want to get one of each colour, as the colours correspond to the frequencies, so you can't fly two of the same colour at the same time. Or so I've read.

Thanks Ben; I was not aware of that ...but excellent and timely suggestion.

I'm on the phone with the Victoria Wal0Mart. They had no more on the shelf. They had 45 left two days ago according to Jim and they may already be all gone. I have to call back in about an hour as they may find some in the warehouse. My want has upped to 4.

I called the Victoria Wal-Mart this afternoon and everything they had was gone.

If your brother in law would be so kind to assist in this one I would be so grateful.

I would like 4. So once you have the price including shipping I'll send money right away.

Thanks so much

You can get knockoffs on eBay for under $50, but the novelty was in the price. By the time you invest $70 into one of these things (they were $30 at WalMart), you might as well put some more money with it and get something better.

I believe I also read somewhere that, for some legal reason, Silverlit no longer produces under the name "Picco Z" but is now "Picoo Z"

That is all hear-say, so should be taken with a grain of salt.

Guys I just found out that airhoigs bought the picco line and are now called'Air Hogs Havoc' . All Walmarts should be getting some stock in anyday. Also I think they should be under 30.00.
