You have seen DIY Star Wars-themed RC toys and you have seen officially licensed versions too, now, meet the official Star Wars drones. Made by RC toy maker Propel, the Star Wars Battle Quad, as it is called, comprises of four iconic Star Wars vehicles, including 74-Z speeder bike, T-65 X-Wing Fighter, TIE Advanced X1 Fighter and of course, every geek’s favorite intergalactic cargo, Millennium Falcon. Being the official product, the level of details and quality are not far from scaled models designed for display purpose and as the product name implies, each of this flying toys is actually a quadcopter in disguise. However, instead of black rotors, the props are transparent to create the illusion of non-existence, well, at least when they are spinning fast.

While vehicles like the Millennium Falcon and TIE Advanced X1 looks pretty convincing even with the four rotors, we can’t say the same for the speeder bike and X-Wing as there are extensions coming out of the sides to fit the at least two of the props for optimal flight dynamics. Still, the details are pretty insane and we’d say they kind of make other examples in the market look like child’s play. Speaking of child’s play, these are not quite for kids.

These are no park flyers; these scaled Star Wars fighters can get from zero to 30 mph in just 3 seconds and hitting speeds of over 35 mph. But they are not necessary always that fast; three speed setting allows you to choose a speed that you are most comfortable with and if you are feeling more adventurous like Rey, you can pull some serious Gs with a push of the button. In addition to fairly regular flying, these miniature flying crafts are battle-ready too, affording up to 24 pilots to go head-to-head in a real-world laser battle.

And as befit its model quality status, each Star Wars Battling Quad will gets it own certification, numbered and comes in a collectable display box fitting for collectors. Seriously, even if you don’t ‘fly’ the details and the packaging are enough to beckon you to part with your hard earned money. Though pricing has not been announced, but according to our source, they don’t come cheap; expect each to run you back at $200-300 and they will be available Fall 2016. Though Propel is inviting fans to put themselves in a no obligation reservation list. Don’t say we didn’t tell you.
