Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, it’s hard to deny that toys that light up are just more fun. Drones that light up? Even better. You can 100 percent try this at home with the Odyssey Toys X-7 Microlite Microdrone. It’s just $29.99 — a savings of 69 percent off the regular price — and it's worth every penny.

The X-7 Microlite is designed with nighttime flying in mind, with fiber-optic LED lights that glow as they fly through the night. And it’s suitable for both outdoor and indoor flying, so you can take it inside if the neighbors start thinking they’re about to be abducted by aliens.

You don’t have to know how to fly a drone already in order to have fun with this one. The X-7 Microlite has beginner, intermediate, and expert modes, so you can build up your skills as you go. Because it's much, much harder than it looks (seriously).

Charge it up in just 60 minutes and you’ll get 6-8 minutes of flight time and 360-degree flips. And if you crash, no worries — along with a lithium iron battery, a remote control, and a charging cable, this drone also comes with a spare set of blades.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the Odyssey Toys X-7 Microlite Microdrone! Okay, so it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, but it’s still awesome.
