This week I'm adding some new trucks to my Auto World jammer so we take a look at all the regular releases that have come out up till now. Although these are not classic or vintage, it is the 1973-1987 Chevy truck casting and one of the most popular from…
The digital era was upon us, and Bandai wanted to be apart of that. Enter the 90's version of the Pet Rock, but this time you could actually make it do things. Tamagotchi was the start, but not the end of the digital pets.
