Yeah - they've been around for a while but were ridiculously expensive on release, with fairly good reason. They're not quite 'hobby grade' drones really, but they fly pretty well, and importantly - easily; and are probably some of the most well thought out and impressive Star Wars products I've seen since I bought my first Force FX lightsaber 15 years ago(!).
The packaging alone is superb on these 'Collectors Edition' ones - there are many unboxing videos out there - some neat surprises for the recipient.
But anyway - got one for £39.99 from IWOOT. They've been dropping in price steadily and there's no sign of the planned Millennium Falcon version - so I'm not sure if there's a loss of licence issue or just stock clearance or whatever.
As for the drones themselves - cosmetically the Tie is the easiest to conceal the workings - the X-Wing looks OK but the front struts are a little distracting. Oddly, the Speeder Bike which has the most conspicuous 'drone stuff' looks pretty good.
Considering the ridiculous price and poor quality of all of the Air Hogs Star Wars stuff - these are actually beyond a steal.
@RogerRoger Nope. As far as I know the only way to get the free theme in the US was to preorder the game through the PS Store. I opted to preorder the game at GameStop because my son wanted the keychain from them. I believe I can get the theme from the PS store but it will cost me money which I am not to worried about since the keychain was a limited amount.

@RogerRoger I'm really liking the Knuckles figure. I noticed there's quite a lot more Totaku as well at my GameStop. I bought a Coco one to go with my Crash one, and they even had Dr. Cortex as well. Funnily enough, I haven't seen the Knuckles one but the Sonic and Tails figures are there. I kinda want the Spyro one too.

I always find that there's something a little... sterile with a display cabinet. They are better for longevity of tat , and as you say, cutting down on the dusting. It's just removes a thing from a room for me.

@WanderingBullet Sweet Christmas! Initially I railed at the TNBA suit instead of TAS - but it actually works much better than trying to do the shaded blue cape & cowl in this style.
That's hot!
