Good Deal on Air Swimmer

I was just looking at Amazon.com, and I found this toy for less than $7!  It is normally $50. I know because we have thought about buying it many times before.  I clicked "purchase now" quickly tonight.  If this is something you have been considering, this may be the bargain you have been seeking.




I'm looking forward to ours arriving Monday, in time for the upcoming birthday of our oldest kiddo.

Have a great weekend!

UPDATE:  We received our air swimmer last Tuesday, as promised by Amazon.com.  We bought a helium tank for about $22 from our local Wal-Mart and assembled it tonight.  My husband said skip the included instructions and just watch the video instead.  We are looking forward to surprising our son with it at his birthday party tomorrow.  In the meantime, my husband is dive bombing me with it while I type.  So, in summary it is good for 6 and 36 year olds, although the judgement of the later may be impaired.  He thinks we should have bought three of these.  An air fight, perhaps?

These are for INDOOR use only.  We have 18'+ ceilings in our great room, but it is really more fun at lower levels just so you can hassle others, clearly.  :)





Air Swimmer Tips: We have found that it is best to put a piece of tape over the putty holder, otherwise putty will fall out during flight.  Not only can that be messy/annoying, but if you lose enough of it, your air swimmer will not come down.  If your Air Swimmer does not come down/gets stuck, use a long pole with duct tape on the end to retrieve it.  Note: A ball wrapped in duct tape with the sticky side out tied to string will not work well when you throw it at the Air Swimmer.  Can you tell we've had some fun with it?
