Toys-R-Us Hobby Grade R/Cs

[constantmotion]

Toys-R-Us is now carrying the Venom bikes, HPI E10 Touring Cars, and a Traxxas Rustler.

Here is a link to their Hobby Grade section

The Rustler is way over priced. It's $334.99 for the XL-5 version, which is normally around $175. The E10s are also priced about $50 over Tower Hobbies' price.

I also have seen Traxxas products at an Auto parts store recently. I think it was Pep Boys. WAY overpriced there aswell.

TRU used to also carry AE cars as part of their online only catalog. Never saw anything like that in the actual stores though.

What was that x-crawlee thing on toys-r-us site? Says it's a 1:12 crawler that looked relatively capable in the video. It's MOA.

I can almost swear that toys-r-us sold the original Tamiya Blackfoot when I was a little kid. Probably others as well I just always wanted a blackfoot when I was little.

 

[pook]

That thing looks like a pos for $160. I wouldn't buy that junk if it was made of gold.

The one I went to as a kid did 25+ years ago, that one had Blackfoots and Monster Beetles, of course MRC was importing/distributing the Tamiya stuff here in the States at the time too.
