Gavin , you did a great mission. These tiny stores should never die. As a kid a spend hours in front of their windows.
Money was small at that time. Today a always shop at these small stores to give something back.
Any model shop trading for 50 years couldn’t ask for a better brand ambassador! Shout out to Wonderland models and of course to you guys for the continued content. Awesome
That was an interesting and worthwhile video , it’s neat to actually see brick and mortar hobby shop with a huge selection.
I would love a shop like that near me, very dangerous 😁👍🏻
Fantastic looking shop, loads of great kits and RTR's. Awesome!!
Lovely 😊 my local stores used to have Tamiya & Kyosho kits built on display . Unfortunately it’s all RTR on display now. But they still have a good range of Tamiya
Haha what a cliff hanger 😂 so curious 😊👍
I got my first brand new RC kit from there in 1988, a Lunch Box. I was in there at least once a week in awe of the Tamiya promo video they played on repeat. Oh, the nostalgia ☺️
i have never seen that many rc kits in such a small store. That owner must be good at Tetris.
Nice video, enjoyed my trip over to WM back in July last year , was up in Edinburgh for my wedding anniversary. Reminded me of going in Beatties when i was a young kid great to see places like this. Nice :)
Hopefully Ian Reid is doing well. Crazy thing is going back 35 years when we raced he was using a Schumacher cat if I remember right. Crazy because wonderland models didn’t supply at the time. Used to be some great RC clubs in Scotland. Think wonderland has been owned by Ian’s family for years. Amazing the amount of stock they have including models, RC & hornby. It’s not a small store but it holds a hell of a lot of stock over a few floors.
Going there tomorrow looking forward to it
Have fun. Post some pics in the RCKicks facebook group
Love this. Bought my very first Tamiya Firedragon there 30 years ago and remember spending hours drooling over all the hop ups and saving all my pocket money to buy a few.
Nice video sir. Thanks
Thanks for the footage, Gavin!
Love to see that even in these times of Internet shopping there a some retailers still keeping a physical presence, unfortunately for me I'm looking at an hour plus drive to visit one, but it is a company that has been going for over 30yrs selling RC.
Have purchased all my kits from them via the Internet.
Have brought a lot of things from them,fantastic service and great prices.
Kits from them were:
Candy Green Grasshopper.
Subaru Brat.
Super Clod Buster.
LunchBox.
BlackFoot.
YES TO THIS KIND OF VIDEO!!! (Modelsports next????)Great to see the places I buy my kit from, online of course. I'd love to buy a mug, but as I'm not one, £20+ is WAYYY too much. Any way to buy one for less?
Unfortunately the expensive price is down to shipping, packaging and the low mug production numbers and the quality of mug I use. You do get some RCKicks stickers as well as the mug for that money.
Great vid of a great looking shop. 👍
Love the video, great to see what the store looks like, wish every town and city had a model shop like that, definitely be visiting next time in Edinburgh 👏
Yess you got the Bruiser, congratulations!
We need a place like this in Eastbourne east sussex.
Awesome to see an old-fashioned style hobby shop. My guess of your Tamiya purchase is the MB Actros!
your legit dude, if you are ever like should I stop doing this ...no you shouldn't. Cheers from Texas
Awesome great vid guys glad you created this one 😀😀😊
Thank you 🤗
Love the mardave mini ive had lots of them used to race them indoors in the 1990s also had the meator and a mardave Cobra modified by Eric Dickinson the judge of robot wars top vid 👍
I knew you would do that 😁👍
All the hobby shops here in Virginia went out of business about 93.
That's such a shame.
What a cool place. I must never go there, it would bankrupt me.
Vintage videos like this are the best! 😁
It will be a Tamiya 1/14 Truck or trailer.
I reacon you brought a trailer for your truck,.
Is it a king hauler ???
I visit wonderland 2 times a year . always a pleasure spending cash there. great service .
I was there Thursday great place 👍
Is it a trailer for your truck?
Did Rebecca get a tank for her birthday?
The box looks like a Mercedes Actros 3363....
This seemed like a bit of a fast edit, I wouldn’t mind if you spent more time poking around in there. Not a criticism though, good video 👍🏻
I was gonna comment this. I could watch a 4 hour video of just exploring hobby shops
Hi do you know anything about the Tomy intruder. Many thanks stewart.
I know of them but I don't have any.
@@RCKickschannel ok do you now if they are a rare car or not. My uncle found 1 in the loft of his new house. I’m into rc bashing and this definitely ain’t a basher. 👍
Could be worth a decent bit, actually. Is it nitro?
@@rcyalater...2305 hi no it’s electric with some spares and a old stick controller.
Pure rc porn! Dear god! Rc car shops are needed god dam it! None close to me !!!
seru bngett
🙏🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🧐
First one yippeeee
Awesome!
I bet that’s a tipper truck of some sort in the box
