Scary Chris, we think alike. I'm a bit disturbed by that.

Never had that. I always bought the model cars on sale for pennies when they were changing stock. Then, when they were put together I'd blow them up with home made fire crackers ;D. I had a local patent in the neighborhood for the biggest fire cracker :D. I was about 11 at the time.

-
Thanks for that.
If I have three daughters can I still buy them toys like that?
Do I need to let them play with them? ;)
