Default TOYS !

Those of you who know me will know i am the archetypal big kid...

Consequently i have a large collection of toys..........

Everything from Cars........



To more cars,and the odd bike....



Planes........





And even Helicopters....





It gets a little complex remembering what all these buttons and levers do....




So am i a cool Grandad or just a big childish tosser who needs to buy some golf clubs and grow up....

Who else on here is a bit of a kid like me and what toys you got ?

Last time I flew an RC plane, I kept getting confused as when the plane comes towards you, all the controls change

That`s about a quarter of the collection......

I built the Cars,the Heli`s and some of the planes and bought some ready built.......the Helis can get expensive because of the radio gear you need,just the controllers range in price from about £200-£1400...

Planes can be done fairly cheap,you could get started with everything you need and a trainer plane for about £250....

I have my Old Bmx from 1984 ( 1990 ish when I got it) about to buy a new one for doing the ramp stuff on.

I have a Kysho inferno Mp6 RC car which I got off Tiff..

I tend not to be very good with collectables + toys (or cossie's lol) as I like to play with em..

Take my BMX for example- I keep finding more out about it.. turns out they made less than 1000, it still has its original forks which is fuckin rare as they're actually really flimsy ( which is scary knowing what I've done on it in the past) it has special handle bars which are rarer still- and I was on the vert ramp with it last saturday- which apparently is SACRALIDGE
