95% of these are from the 90s and ive bought most all from ebay. I bought many of them because they were cars i wanted as a kid so ive found them at great deals and couldnt pass them up.

Believe it or not a lot of them have gone from being worth a few bucks to way more then they were new. So ive bought others to keep for when they are worth a ton then ebay them off for big bucks.

I just got married last week so I dont have any kids but me and my wife are just dying to have a couple boys to spoil them with cars.

I actually bought the power wheels to make an RC car out of because it has twin 750 motors and will handle more voltage than any other electric ride on car. I am also gonna convert that to 4wd, which has already been done on one before. Haha with gas prices riding it to the shop wouldnt be a bad idea.

There is no body just a cage cause the body has been blown to bits ....this thing is stupid fast.

Your Nikko collection needs a Big Bubba, and your Tyco collection needs a Turbo Outlaw Sprint Car. :D

I had both of those as a kid and loved them. I also had a Tyco Bandit and Eliminator as well.

I've still got one of the early model gold chassis Associated RC10 buggies in the attic, and some sort of very early Traxxas buggy similar to their Bandit.
 
#12 ·
That new 4wd slash is bad ass, thats on the list too

I actually had a turbo sprint car but some guy drove from Louisiana through the snow to come get it last year. He bought some other tycos too so I let it go.

Yeah the older buggies are the coolest, the traxxas buggy you have is most likely the silver bullet or "nitro buggy" if not electric

I wanted this so bad when I was 10...




I asked for it every year for christmas and birthday for 2 or 3 years... I just kept getting generic wal-mart type r/c trucks. :eek:

Actually, this r/c truck & the back to the future truck were the reasons why I got my first Toyota. :)

I am amazed at how many folks have said that to me... It was my inspiration as well :D

I fell in love with Toyota 4x4's after seeing that rig.

There is a truck just like that one at a local Discount Tire... wish I had some $$ to go make him an offer he couldnt refuse :p
 
#14 ·
Same here, the back to the future truck and the ivan stewart truck are why ive been a toyota fanatic since I was a little kid. The other biggest thing was that game "Super Off-Road". I had it on Nintendo, Super Nintendo and played it at every arcade back in the 90's.

My first Toyota was exact same as the BTTF truck but an 86

I have one of those Tamiya pre-runners, I just need to paint and decal the body. I did actually have my monster racer body on my pre-runner which is nearly identical except for the grill and tail lights
 
#15 ·
Actually, there is a Tamiya Prerunner brand new in the box on ebay right now for Buy it now $399 or best offer. Hmmmmm, Im tempted haha
 
#17 ·
I had a Nikko Big Bubba, Turbo Aero, and, the ULTIMATE: Thunderbolt/Super Lobo!!

Nice collection!

Your Tyco selection just took me back to when I was a kid! I had every single Tyco r/c that Toys R Us carried. Good times!

It's funny how most of us on here got a Toyota mostly because of the Back to the Future Toyota. I'm no different.

Senior year in high school my parents got me an '87 Xtra-cab SR5 4WD. Had it for 5 years and sold it to my cousin, cause I'm an idiot. Fixed it up kinda like the one in the movie, cept I kept it the original color charcoal gray. Now I wish I never got rid of it.
