One Month Before Christmas, HobbyTron.com is the Only Major Source of the Picco Z Mini RC Helicopter in the United States
Orem, UT (PRWeb) December 7, 2006 -- 'Twas a month before Christmas and all through the nation, major retailers had sold out of the latest sensation. Except for HobbyTron.com that is.
HobbyTron.com today announced that it still has the Picco Z mini RC helicopter in stock despite widespread unavailability. With other retailers across the country turning away disappointed shoppers seeking America's most popular RC toy, HobbyTron.com is now the only major source of the Picco Z in the U.S.
"Once you've played with the Picco Z RC helicopter, you immediately understand why they're flying out of Internet retailers and off store shelves the way they are -- they're incredibly fun," said Jim Royer, president of HobbyTron.com. "We're happy to report that although the Picco Z is sold out at Radio Shack, Toys 'R' Us and others, we still have tens of thousands available for holiday shoppers at HobbyTron.com - but we're burning through our inventory quickly. We're especially glad to bring this news to all the panicked parents out there who don't want to disappoint their kids this holiday season."
Small enough to hold on the palm of one's hand, the lightweight and durable Picco Z RC helicopter has been wildly popular outside of the United States this year with more than 500,000 sold in Europe and 400,000 sold in Japan. HobbyTron.com is one of only a handful of importers of the Picco Z in the U.S.
According to HobbyTron.com, the Picco Z is unlike traditional RC helicopters in a number of ways. The HobbyTron.com Picco Z can be flown indoors; there is no assembly required, and the polypropylene foam body can withstand most collisions and crashes inherent to flying r/c helicopters.
In addition, the Picco Z is very easy to use as it's designed for the novice and expert pilot alike and it comes virtually ready to fly right out of the box. (Initial battery charging of 20-30 minutes is required before the first flight, and six AA batteries are required for the controller/charger.)
Picco Zs are currently available from HobbyTron.com in three different colors: red, blue and yellow. Each color represents a different frequency, thereby allowing users to fly up to three helicopters at one time. It costs only $39.00. HobbyTron.com also has a special offer for RC enthusiasts who want even more fun: a set of three Picco Z helicopters for just $109.00.
More information about the Picco Z mini RC helicopter, including its complete specification list, is available at www.HobbyTron.com.
