All I can say and did say when we opened this thing up, was, holy s**t. We couldn’t
believe the power of the 24.7 XTM engine in this truck. The Mammoth is a ready to
run machine with gut loads of power; and that’s even before it hits second gear,
which we didn’t see too often because it was already hitting about 35 MPH before it
hit. The full time 4WD will climb just about anything in its path, including a 9”
flat curb when we got a little disoriented and careless. It has massive 6” tires and
all the power it needs to turn them. In regard to its king size, a 1/8 scale truck,
that’s about 20” long, you don’t have to look hard to find it. I think the best
thing about this “Truggy” is its low center of gravity. It takes an awful lot to
flip it and to tell you the truth, I haven’t yet. It does not come with reverse, but
XTM does sell a reverse module. The two speed tranny does what it needs to do and
geared just right for “right from the start” take offs. It winds out really well
before it burst into 2nd, then watch out because you just about have to get in your
own car to keep up. You can tell they put a lot of thought into its design because
it has lots of cross bracing throughout the chassis which keeps it strong and tight,
not very much twist at all. It’s a cool truck with a mean attitude.

Munro Collectible Faerie Glen Figurines
Munro has it covered when it comes to delicate and perfectly detailed figurines. The
Faerie Glen series is the perfect example. All the fairies in this collection are
just about as perfect as you can get a spot of paint to be in always the perfect
places. The eyes are always captivating, skin tones are perfect in every detail and
the slight swerves of the jewelry and ornamentation are ever so subtle and accurate.
I love to look at these figures because they are calming and a sheer pleasure to
look at. It kinda reminds me of innocence at its best. The Faerie Glen “puddy” cats
are so darn cute, you just like to hold them and cuddle one just as you would a real
kitty. They are perfectly detailed just as the normal fairies are and just as
pleasurable to look at. A gift idea at its best!

Megatech Avion RC Indoor Airplane
We opened our first Avion as soon as they arrived with anxious anticipation of what
exactly it could do. In short…we were AMAZED and completely thrilled! This plane
will turn within three feet, skim a wall, bounce back and keep on flying. We flew it
in our store that also has high value breakables, and we weren’t afraid even once of
possibly breaking anything. The Avion is so precise and gentile, anyone would get a
real kick out of flying it. The plane actually charges from it’s transmitter and
only takes a few minutes to get 10 or 15 minutes of joy to fly it. We’ve sold a
bunch of these planes and it is tough to keep them on the shelf. I would recommend
it for the beginner as well as the professional pilot; not because we sell them, but
because they are pure fun and durable..
