I have radio-controlled cars like this. The charge times, handling and range on yours seem similar to models I've used, but the fact you get 15 minutes of running time on a single charge is a feat far in advance of the toys I've played with. (Not that this isn't to be expected- yours is built to a higher quality, and is made by a known brand.)
Can't say I enjoyed the Lupin film in question, but the car looks a nice piece of merchandise nonetheless.

The Fujiko figurine is about as relevant as she was in the movie (read: not at all).

So I guess Krauser's involvement wasn't necessary, huh? Anyway, funny collumn as usual... I loved Castle of Cagliostro when I saw it a few months back, so finally some representation from a super-familiar anime! And yeah, keep up the "classic" edition; all coherent people ought to be able indulge in talking about their favorite things every now and then, right?
Now, it would be also be pretty cool if we could see more of your cat in future editions of Astro Toy Classic...

I like the idea of getting to see high-quality classic toys, so Astro Toy Classic gets two thumbs up from me. Rob, you weren't the only one who enjoyed the break from the usual overpriced modern garbage, even if you do write those negative reviews so deliciously well.

I want one, but not for $50.
Unless it drives up sheer cliff faces and such.

I like the idea too. Especially if it ever includes either a pink Haro or one of the Digi Haros and an lead on where to get one of either.

Once every three months is ok, heck, once a month its ok for me, but as I said in an earlier week comment, I rather know what not to buy.

Classics are fine by me. It was a fun column as always.

I hate you out of jealousy.
That is an awesome mini RC car. I remember picking up some of these years back. I got an Initial D one, a Firebird like an older cousin had, and a couple generic ones. Radio Shack used to stock some even. Though certainly not this gem that's long gone now. Darn you.

I approve of Astro Toy Classic!
I saw Castle of Cagliostro two weeks ago for the first time and loved it. I also love that R/C!

Astro Toy Classic is good for once a month - or every two months. But just like others have mentioned, I enjoy learning about toys to avoid (and ones that are good) that are on the market now. I hope more is sent to you for review (free).
If you put in a clasisic from time to time, how about a plush?

A review of a plush toy would be maybe 50 words long, and even then that'd be a struggle.

Astro Toy Classic is a nice change of pace. I'd be okay with you doing one more than once every three months, especially following a toy that upsets you as much as last week's did.

More "Astro Toy Classic" please. I love classic anime, and it'll be fun to see some toys I might have missed out on(though it could potentially be frustrating if it's something hard to find now.)
