Buying Sky Challengers in the UK
With the Sky Challenger helicopter sets proving so popular this year, some UK consumers have been reporting that they are difficult to get hold of.
There are a number of options if you're looking to find one of these excellent Radio Controlled helicopter battle games.
The first option that you can look to is to buy an official Sky Challenger box set. There are a few online retailers currently stocking them - a good choice is to shop with a specialist gifts and gadgets store, such as Genie Gadgets. They sell the official UK sets and we've seen prices set at up to 40% less than those offered elsewhere.
Buying online from an official supplier is a good bet - Gift and Toy currently list Sky Challenger sets at £37.59, meaning that it's also a cheap way of buying.
Other Options
Given that there is such a demand for the product, you may not be lucky enough to pick one up at the discounted price offered by Gift and Toy.
If you're simply desperate to get hold of one and need a store that has them in stock, then you may find that you have to pay full price - the currently RRP is £49.95.
You'll find Silverlit Helicopter Sky Challenger box sets available from the following retailers at the full price:
Firebox
Boys Stuff
Genie Gadgets
Still having trouble?
If you've still been unable to track down a Sky Challenger set then all is not lost! You can always try Amazon - they will sell direct and also list products available from other retailers, so they're a good bet if you've not been able to get hold of one.
How about spare parts?
Our experience suggests that it's far easier to track down a Sky Challenger set than it is to find individual parts. Fortunately, things may be about to change.
Amazon are now stocking a range of accessories and parts for these battle helicopters. You can, in fact, now buy individual helicopters or smaller replacement parts. This is great news if you do damage something, as it can save you the cost of buying a replacement set.
About Sky Challenger Helicopters
Are you not quite sure how Sky Challenger helicopters work? Don't worry - they're pretty simple and can be great fun!
Every set includes two radio controlled helicopters and two remote controls. The helicopters themselves are actually relatively small, but they are surprisingly strong. This is lucky...because they need to be!
Each helicopter is equipped with a small laser gun, which you can use to shoot down your opponent. The effect of your shooting is to briefly stun your opponent's machine, causing them to lose control.
Sound like fun? It is! These radio controlled games are proving a big hit here in the UK - indeed, they are this year's must-have purchase for many. It's because of this popularity that so many stores have been running low on stock or increasing prices.

The store is neatly put together, allowing you to select items from various categories, such as Big Boys Toys, Gizmos, Office Gadgets and Household Gadgets. As well as the Sky Challenger box sets, there are plenty of great gift ideas on the site. (Review Score: 5/5)
Amazon - The store that started out selling books has now branched out into numerous other markets. You almost know what to expect with Amazon - a large store and one that many of us are very familiar with finding our way around.
Recently, it seems as though their delivery times are not quite as good as they could be - possibly a result of the sheer size of their enterprise. Despite this, our reviewers feel that they are certainly worth a look if you're struggling to track down your battle helicopters.. (Review Score: 3/5)
