In anticipation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, out in December, Disney revealed the toy during a "Star Wars: Global Unboxing Livestream" on Thursday. YouTubers Corey Vidal and Quill18 demoed the product at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto for a crowd of excited fans.

In addition to the Millennium Falcon drone, Disney will release a flying X-Wing starfighter, though Vidal clarified that the toy is not a drone. Instead, it flies thanks to propellers that push it forward.
A full demo of the Millennium Falcon drone starts at -2:22:55.
This isn't the first time the Internet's freaked out over a Star Wars-themed drone. In February, an enterprising YouTube user modified a remote-controlled drone into a Millennium Falcon of his own.
UPDATE, Friday, Sept. 4, 11:51 a.m. ET: As of this writing, the Millennium Falcon drone appears to be in stock at Walmart for $88 and Toys R Us for $109.99.
