Nothing has made me long for the end of winter like my first glimpse of Jakks Pacific's new line of Star Wars 3-D Kites at this month's Toy Fair. Bigger than any other Star Wars toy vehicles (except my 7' long display models that used to hang at Toys R Us) these would be fun to play with on the ground, or hung from a ceiling. But, these really fly!

Steampunk, you ask?  Ever seen the Enterprise sporting propellers?

Taking a cue from Scaled Composites static display roll outs of its spaceships, Tyco rolled out full sized prototypes of the new remote controlled Star Trek spaceships today at New York’s Toy Fair.
