    I'm at Myrtle Beach this weekend. Last night we walked up on Broadway and looked at the shops.

    I remember there was a shop there that built toy cars... hotrod cars, it was called wheelz or something like that.

    Point is, you buy a shell and chassis, choose your own wheels, decals, engine, etc, etc... I guess it's like build a bear but it's for boys (seems like a lot of big boys were in there)

    Anyway, next to the Cuda and new F250 was about 8 different versions of minis available.

    I didn't realize that minis were that popular for toy cars too... it was kind of cool.

    They had 4WD minis, lowered, black primered, original.... lots to choose from.


    No, I didn't build one...lol.

    There are several versions of slot cars, both classic and 2nd gen, also.

    It is cool!
