Arrowcopter

Back in the late 60s or early 70s one of the coolest flying toys since the balsa wood glider was released. An inexpensive space age toy that was shot by rubber band power into the air and spun like a helicopter all the way down to the ground. It was, and still is, called the Arrowcopter and it is just as cool today as it ever was. In a way it really isn't appropriate to list this here as a contender for the new web store because there is no way this toy isn't going to make the grade. Okay, that isn't true, if it turned out that it was made differently and didn't work the way it used to, or if the raised the price so that we'd have to sell if for like $20 a pop, or something like that, it wouldn't make the grade, but barring something really extreme, this toy is going to be one we carry.
Update We should have made note long ago that it turned out the Arrowcopter is every bit as good and fun as we remembered it, and you can buy it in the store. View store details for Arrowcopter - High Shooting Slow Falling Flying Toy
