Anyone have a Desktop Rover?

Hey i was considering purchasing a little tank called the desktop rover. Does anyone have one or heard anything about them? Does anyone have any of the blimps that fly around? Here is a site with the rover and blimps

http://www.plantraco.com/product_dtr.html

Thanks for any input
Mack

lol so i can expect about 3 hours out of them then, and those little bastages are expensive. They are 3volts i think and it takes 2 of them so could i afro engineer a adapter to put different NiHM batts on it? Couldn't I put 5 AAA's?
