RC is short for remote-controlled. You play with them via the remote, I'm guessing

Can't exactly shoot.. but yeah you POINT at them and control via a button or a wheel, I supposed (I don't actually have them, but want it too)
I should also correct myself that RC actually stands for "Radio-Controlled" rather than remote, eventhough it's like a remote... the correct terminalogy is radio because it uses radio frequency as opposed to remote using infra-red (most times)

Drat. That'd make it harder for me to nick off with.... I mean, enjoy the comforts of a bbq in the backyard.I would love to mate. It's just that it'd have to be all indoors. No backyard on the first floor.
Saintly already explained the the RC part so I'll just confirm on the play part. The play value isn't great. The gun really only holds the toy when you're not playing so it doesn't shoot the TF off. To play with this Spychanger, you've got to point at the car with the gun and use two arrow buttons: backward and forward. It's not that much fun after awhile because you can't really do turns, it's just straight back and forth. Good for $10 tho. If you want, I'll nab u some if they're still on sale on Saturday. Last time I was there, there was only Barricade and BB left.
For me today:
G1 Pointblank w/ Peacemaker. It's been awhile since I first bought a G1 figure of any value and given I intend to complete my G1 collection by years end, this is where I start. I nabbed it at $55. Can't complain cos I'd budgeted for more!
The toy's in excellent nick and stickers are really really impressive. I think this guy was an ex-collector, he' took exceptional care with the toy to keep it this good for so long.
One of the frustrating things I've found was all the extra paperwork is a pain. I normally don't give a rats when buying but I hate ending up with the paperwork b/c feel obliged to store it away safely b/c of the vintage nature of it.
