Brookstone has a deal on factory Refurb AR Drone 1.0 models - only $140.00 http://www.brookstone.com/ar-drone-quadricopter-refurbished Note - We are Droneflyers do NOT suggest this model as a newbie "stock" drone. This deal is for folks who already know what they are doing or want to do some modifications or "part" it out. The parts, for instance, would be worth double or more once taken apart and sold privately (on eBay or forums). An option for the hobbyist is to convert this to the Macdrone R/C control, which will fix most of the 1.0 deficiencies and give you a fine mid-sized drone for a reasonable price. See the instructions here on our blog: https://www.droneflyers.com/2013/02/ar-drone-modifications/ (bottom of page)..... Here is an $80 Mirumod based R/C conversion for this Quad http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190798464871 Note - one user reported this same AR Drone in Toys-R-Us for $120, but no info can be found online.
