The delightfully nostalgic Japanese ジャンケンマン (“Jankenman”) arcade machine—a Showa-era gem that’s equal parts kitsch and charm. The machine, made by Sunwise, is based on janken (rock-paper-scissors), the classic hand game that’s settled more schoolyard debates in Japan than any courtroom ever could. The LED display in the center is showing the “peace” or “scissors” sign, and players use the…
Old American pinball machines have a kind of gritty charm that mixes mechanical clatter with bright, unapologetic style. They’re loud—buzzers, bells, and the solid thunk of a steel ball smacking a bumper. Unlike today’s digital games, there’s nothing soft or polite about them. They’re all muscle: spring-loaded plungers, flashing lights, hand-painted artwork of cowboys, space…

To join my daughter in her RC adventures, Santa brought me a Tamiya Mercedes-Benz Unimog 425 on a CC01 chassis! This little beast is a dream for off-road fun—it’s built to handle rough terrain and tackle obstacles like a pro. Whether it’s climbing rocks, powering through mud, or just cruising alongside my daughter’s RC, it’s…
Last Christmas, my daughter asked for—and received—a Tamiya XB Neo Scorcher with the TT-02B chassis. It’s a fantastic RC buggy, combining speed, durability, and Tamiya’s trademark quality. We’ve had so much fun racing it and tackling all kinds of terrain. But, of course, I couldn’t let her have all the fun! That’s why I needed…
