It’s the end of 2019, and that leaves us with one post left. It’s hard to overstate how difficult this decision was for us. Everyone here in the office has been arguing their sides, coming up with lists, and I think if Cubby didn’t have to leave for his New Years Eve party, there may have been fisticuffs. It’s the [...]
Another year down, and 2019 brought some incredible crawling/scaling vehicles. There were so many releases in 2019, at one point Jeremy (or scale guy) was letting anyone who wanted to work on a scale review take it because he was so swamped. We were basically doing daily unboxings, and it was all scale/crawler stuff. Like all the categories, this one [...]
We started the Bash Product of the Year category in 2018 because we wanted to recognize some of the great products that were released but didn’t get the hype of the Vehicle of the Year category. Since it’s inception, this category is a tough one, and here in 2019 it was quite the debate. The one product everyone could agree [...]
