For RC enthusiasts the TV show Robot Wars made for great viewing, where anyone with a love of radio controlled gadgetry could build their own robot and do battle with each other in the robot arena. The stars of the show were the robots themselves, the bearded nerds who built them and the bearded nerds […]

Subaru fans think they’re the dogs knackers of course, but this RC Subaru WRX is pretty damn hot too. It will top 75mph straight out of the box. That’s not scale speed now, that’s real speed.
This nitro powered Subaru WRX remote control car is for the driver that wants to race at the track and/or […]

Looking around the I want one of those.com website I came across this Flying Vamp. Apparently, unlike many flying toys, it doesn’t require much room to fly indoors as it can stay airborne at low speeds. Usually flapping toys like this require a lot of momentum to remain in the air, this one is far […]

I love this ClodBuster, so much so I actually bought one twice.
Originally I bought one second hand over ten years ago and ragged the thing something stupid. It was great for tearing up the woodland across the street from my house, and even floating in the lake… though I don’t recommend this. Sadly some scumbags […]

When I went to one of the Collectormania events at Milton Keynes I was pleased (and slightly scared) to see hordes of Daleks roaming the shopping centre, posing for photographs, chasing children and generally threatening to exterminate as many people as possible.
I didn’t actually see any exterminating first hand, so they may have been idle […]
