Why have I named this topic "Stop Thief" Well I have many emails per day and comments on this blog that say people have been ripped off buying a Syma 107.When I say ripped off,they have either bought from their local mall or on line to find they have bought a non genuine Syma S107G. Many posts about picking a fake here.

I stayed away from setting up a page to shame these sellers for legal reasons-However I thought that there really could be no kick back in my face if people posted on this forum the sellers that they have bought from that sold them a dud Syma and the sellers that sold them a genuine heli.

My suggestion would be to post below your experience where you bought from and the sellers name good and bad comments.

We not only need to shame bad sellers but also recommend sellers you have bought from that sold you a great genuine Syma 107. I feel that will help us all. Give me your views if you think this post is relevant and can help newbies buying a Syma heli

As you know I buy a lot of helis from RcFever no I am not pushing you to buy from them as they are expensive on postage.Point to mention they do pay me 5% per sale (not hiding that fact) however all of my purchase have been genuine.

So here is your chance to help people buy a genuine Syma 107 from your info below-As said if you feel this topic is not required let me know.

Hope I do not get sued – Lol  Confused

I've bought two S107Gs from Battery Superstore, on Amazon. Both genuine, both NIB and fully functional, both shipped quickly. Add to that the fact that they're pretty consistently close to, if not THE cheapest seller, and that equals a recommendation from me. Wink

I purchased my S107G brand NIB from Superstition Hobbies on Amazon.com. The little red machine shipped and arrived quickly and the seller has a great RC storefront.

Also purchased an S109G Apache for our son from JP Commerce who appears to have become Cart Wheel Deals on Amazon who also sent the product quickly and arrived in perfect NIB condition.

 

Drivin_Dave loves NIBs!

I've purchased all ours from Amazon,

s111g and s107g (white) from Halley R Us (perfect)

s107g (yellow) from A-Hobby (perfect)

Helizone Firebird (1 black and 1 blue) from LA Toys. It looks like LA Toys is no longer there. I don't know why but I was hesitant to buy from them because of low sales and low rating. They shipped quick and fly great though.

Great Idea for a Posting!  Cheer the HEROES and BOOO the Bad-Guys!

 

I got my Genuine S107G – Yellow from Wholesaledvdsforless, through Amazon.

Also received my SYMA S032 from West L.A. Hobby Store (Yantai Tianhu Trading Co.),

again, through Amazon. Genuine in both cases, on time, tracked the shipping straight

to my door… NO PROBLEMS…

The 102g blackhawk? Youll be a happy flyer with that bird!!! Fly that thing as much as you want, it will fly like silk and crash maybe once a flight at most.

 

(Also, noticing the new signature, well, I'm a life-long Neil Young fan,

 

"Hey, Hey! My, My! Rock and Roll will never die! It's better to burn out, than to fade away! My, My! Hey Hey!"

Well, I don't know why it's not letting me post a reply to anything, but I'll try again…

 

Do you mean the 102g blackhawk? If it's that, you're going to be one happy pilot! That thing glides around, and is just flawless.

 

(As for the new signature, well, I'm a life-long Neil Young fan… –and that's litteral!!! I've been literally listening to Neil Young since I was an infant!–

"Hey, Hey! My, My! Rock and Roll Will Never Die!        It's better to Burn Out, than to Fade Away! My, My! Hey, Hey!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..s_RAuTI–I know it says Hey, Hey, My, My, but it's actually My, My, Hey, Hey (out of the blue)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?f…..&NR=1 The real Hey, Hey, My, My (into the black)

I recently bought 2x Syma S107 (R5) for spares or repairs from Dealstation on Amazon for only £6.93 a piece.

They arrived within 2 days, and both worked with some very quick fixes (one had glue in the transmitter power switch, and the other had a broken joint on the fly bar.)

When I looked up "Ninjas" in Thesaurus.com, it said "Ninja's can't be found" Well played Ninjas, well played.

well got my S107G ,and i'm really pleased with it ,a really nice looking machine and looks sooooo easy to fix ,flys great and easy to control! . the blackhawk arrived too another excellent helicopter ,can do a great trick with it ,i can make it fly sideways but not for long have to correct it or it gathers speed and loses control ,but fun none the less . the SIIIG  though is another story ,fitted a new battery but still can't get it to rise more than a few inches,unless i give it a quick flick on the left , it rises up a bit then flits back down to the floor again ,ah well back to the drawing board !!Cool

hey i have something to say!! it's better to burn out than to fade away!!! ( HIGHLANDER )
