Cheap STI RC cars at walmart $10

Post by kimokalihi »

I was walking through walmart this morning after work and noticed these sitting on an end shelf display.

$10 for a cheap RC 08 STI with some ugly wheels.

Nice find! A new toy to add to my collection. Does it say "New Impreza" on the hood? Silly Chinese...

I'll have to get some of those. Looks like Santa is going to subject my poor grandsons to some more Subaru brainwashing, er, toys!

Nice. For $10, they're hard to resist. They look pretty damn cheap though I must warn you.

That's hilarious that it says "new impreza" on the hood. I guess little kids wouldn't know it's the "new" impreza. Besides, it's not the new impreza, there's another generation out already.

I went to our local Walmart and they didn't have them. Were they in the section with other RC cars? What brand?

They're in the kids section. From the picture it appears they are right around the little girls section. There's other RC cars too and I think a firetruck and stuff.

Haha, those are good pics of the wreck. but it sucks because it is wrecked.

there are also some sweet AWD rc cars at hobby town or even a local hobby store, they are kind expensive but they are really fun. I don't have a pic of mine but here is a link
