Actually similar to this is available in toy shops and very cheap as dada said may be just 550, but that didnt have the sensor to hold altitude which is the key attraction to this UFO ;D....
One more source...but is this the same?

It says "altitude sensing technology" on the box :-\

Dear bokilap,
Hello friend, we can ship to India, but shipping time is very long, 15-50 days.
would you mind waiting?
- plaza-onlineus
The price is AUD 13.90 with Free shipping
1 AUD = 48.2 INR
So the cost would be 670 INR
Not bad eh? just have to wait...we r used too that right?
Whats the difference between this and the one on DX?
I am not sure.
They all look the same
But this guy has sold about 16,000 products and has 100% rating on ebay.
Looks like a genuine seller to me, frankly speaking havent heard good things about deal extreme.
Well i love DX I always have one parcel in transit. Gotta love the Chinese :D
The difference you asked
The one on deal extreame runs the remote/charger on 5 AAs and the one on ebay runs it on 6AAs. The remote/charger looks different.
That is such a cool UFO...we could probably make use of the sensor for some diy project.

AFAIK there is no Altitude sensor sort of thing on it, probably a pair of IR LED & IR Photo Diode.
Sanjay
Yes it has just IR led and IR photo diode ......altitude sensing technology is just a fancy name given to it. 8-)
Speaking about Deal Extreme i have had very good experience with them till now..not a single lost article as i always use tracking...i ordered a hand crank USB charger and they gave 10 instead for the price of one...lol...their error..my gain :giggle:

Lots of similar stuff!
Finally got myself this new toy for new year. Fun to play with. Checkout the video.
Incredibly good design. More stable than I expected.
Outer body looks like EPO foam
Uses a 6x5 thin prop. Outer EPO is shaped as a 6wing prop. Powered by 1s 3.7V lipo.
Prop rotates clockwise while the outer body rotates anti clock wise to compensate the torque.
It has a IR altitude sensor at the bottom, for altitude hold.
Rotating outer body allows to recover from corners.
Probably has a stabilization unit as I was very surprised to see it recover when I threw it.
Overall a good buy.
