Toys for boys

At the beautiful age of 34 I notice I act more like a kid then when I was 19. I have quite the busy life but more and more recreation is going back to the eihties and early nineties for me. I also notice I listen to a lot of old late eighties metal lately, going out on my skateboard and when I see Stussy is bringing back some old skool stuff I get so excited and go "Hey I knew when we all looked like that".

One of the things that caught my eye lately is the remake of the Vanessa's Lunch Box. The Vanessa Lunch Box is a 1/12 scale electric remote monstertruck by Tamiya which was first released in 1987. I always wanted to own a remote car when I was a kid but my parents never let me since they thought it was a waiste of money, ofcourse I obeyed.

Now it is 2008 and I bought the Luch Box. I actually want to give it to my son Tooya as a welcome home present when he comes back this friday from a two month holiday in Japan. I am looking foreward taking him out and goofing around with the RC monstertruck. I tried it out in the livingroom today, it goes fast, very fast. I think Tooya will destroy the house and it is definatly a toy that requires supervision... hell, I can drive some laps as well.
