Bwahaha! No others shall be able to access this post but I alone!
Figure it's probably the name of the piece having an asterisk in it that's causing the glitch.
Haven't used any of the sets with this part, but it is nifty to see Spinjitsu stuff crossing into other lilnes (City helicopters in this case). Airjustsu looks pretty cool as spinner variants go.
As far as Lego ripcords go, this one is probably my favorite since the teeth work not just with the launchers they're made for but also with standard Lego gear teeth. Used to great effect in 70735, where pulling the ripcord both launched the Airjitzu spinner and spun the turbines on either side of the vehicle.
I made it! I’m only about 1.19 hours late. First I thought this piece was from the Chima Speedorz. But most recent set I got this in was 70741 Airjitzu Cole Flyer.
My gosh, I made it! I also had the previous version of these from the Chima Speedorz. Oh, the times I spent winding the thing down the carpet was pure fun. Now I want to find my last remaining copy and play with/MOC it a bit.
Ah, the days when I made my Zane Airjitzu set fly down the stairs at the apartment complex. Such memories.

Yeah those were so much fun. I have Cole, Morro and Wrayth. My brother has the rest.
Ha, ha! The backdoor to the exclusive club.
I'd like to thank the person who held it open for me, but you know I'm not that kind of dude. ;)
I’m honestly surprised Lego haven’t named a character “Rip Cord” yet

Oh, no. Whatever shall I do. I’ve been excluded. Woe is me.
Now that I found my way here but have nothing interesting to say, I'll just boldly post where only 9 have posted before.
Not been used since 2020, so I guess R.I.P. is in order...
3rd BrickSet technical issue this week, nice way to end the year with a bang ;-)
I got one of my sons the full set if the flyers for his birthday that year. First they were on clearance so didn’t cost that much, but second I knew he was the kind of kid that would share them with his siblings instead of hogging them to himself. I was not disappointed, and remains one of my fondest memories of his childhood so far.

Did they last very long? In my experience, those flyers were so good that they quickly caused such serious danger that they were banned (at my local Lego store, for instance) or were lost in trees, on roofs, etc.

Hey! I was the one who posted the link in the RPotD and the RSotD.

In my experience, you never disclose the identity of the person who sneaks you in. ;)
Finally, the page isn't bugging!
I thought this was the Chima Speedorz ripcord but apparently not

Not to be confused with Rip Torn. (R.I.P.)

Hasbro might have an issue with that....
