Welcome

R/C Toy Memories. Since 2012.

This is a nostalgia blog run by a long-time collector. If you grew up with R/C cars sometime between the late 1970s and early 1990s, then you're sure to find something fun to read about here. I also write about other retro toys sometimes. Feel free to look around, participate in the forums, or leave a comment beneath any article if you have a memory to share.
