I dont really feel this is a fad since most fads as far as technology is either:
can only be used for one thing (tamagotchi) PS I liked finding new ways to kill mine off, I managed to make mine into a squid somehow.....and it dies shortly after i was nice to it....????...go figure.....
functional but overpriced (longaberger baskets)
cute, and supply is cut deliberately to drive price (beanie babies)
or is "retro" (as in anyhting over 10 years ago, like 80s stuff)
Now as I look at it, bits are very customizable, and are every bit and RC car as their bigger brothers. Given we wish for proportional acceleration/steering, but those will come on time. Sure the car may be more ZZ sized, but still it would be a welcome concept. Sure the bit as we know it may phase out, but the micro r/c concept I feel is going to last for some time. Sure it may die down to a level of hobby shops and import shops only again, but thats cool by me since that will prolly reduce the amount of knock offs on the market since most reputable shops seem to carry only tomy or hobbico here (i did see one that sold lxx, but had a sign saying "these are not tomy car" in the case)
Well I guess to make it short (yeah i know, its about time
) micros will prolly stay, in what form I don't know however. It will be a fun ride seeing the changes out though.
