This huge, high-rise monster-rig manufactured by Nikko and sold at Tandy store, was just about the biggest R/C vehicle I had ever seen in 1989.
Small but fast – the Nikko Night Stalker was a favourite in 1989, great value, and typical of the quality Nikko were releasing in the late 1980s.
With Christmas approaching once more, I always find myself reminiscing about old Christmas memories in the 1980s in Australia – hot summers, cool toys, and
A low, sleek space-age buggy with a single bubble window beneath which no scale-size human could possibly fit. In 1989, this was…the future!
The last Tandy stores were closed or rebranded quite recently in Australia. But many will remember Tandy as the place they got their first R/C car.
