15-channel 1:14 scale R/C Excavator with Metal Shovel

  • We dig this 15 channel construction truck because it actually digs: the dig arm has 3 separate motors in it.
  • Thanks to its 2.4ghz transmitter, you can control it from 100 feet away! If you can even see it from that far!!! (We don’t understand distance.)
  • This thing is not small. It’s 1:14 scale, as in: 16" long, 9" tall, and 7" wide.
  • A great gift for the little foreman…er…foreperson in your life.
  • Buy it now and you don’t need to worry about last minute shipping around the holidays.
  • Model: RIV-F1024, which stands for Really Innovative Vehicular Fun. The 1024 refers to the number of hours of fun it can provide. That’s why there’s a 24 in there, because that’s a whole extra day of fun after the first 1000 hours. Look, this all makes perfect sense, okay?

Know Your Limitations

Probably, we should lie. We should say that this is practical. We should say something like: you can garden from inside! We should claim something about how, with the success of HBO’s Sharp Objects, wealthy families have a renewed interest in dollhouses, and some of them are even hiring full construction crews to break ground and build them; get the heavy duty equipment your crew needs to beat out the other bidders!

But we won’t. Instead, we’ll look both ways, we’ll lean forward, we’ll gesture for your to lean forward too, and then we’ll whisper into your ear…

We’re selling this so you can give it as a gift.

We’re cautious to admit this because you know how people get. The holiday season is filled with camaraderie, but few forms are as cathartic as uniting against its annual encroachment. They’ve got the decorations up and it’s not even December, you’ll say to a stranger in the coffee shop. Are they playing “Jingle Bells”? Before Thanksgiving? someone will say in the checkout line at the grocery store. You’ll shake your head when Santa’s village appears in the mall before the first significant snowfall, or when you see a flyer informing you that Black Friday sales somehow start on Tuesday this year.

And here we are, making our first offering of the gift-giving season weeks before Halloween! What gall, you think. What nerve. But friends: hear us out. By offering this R/C Excavator today, we’re not trying to get a jump on anyone… but ourselves.

Though we don’t always act like it, at the end of the day, we’re a store. The holiday season should be our time to shine. And yet, to really “kill it” during the holidays, you need to be sure of yourself. You need to be organized, to know when things will ship and how long they will take to get to where they’re going. You need to build a balanced approached; you can’t just sell a bunch of toys or a bunch of electronics or a bunch of socks. You need to offer all three at different times based on sales trends from previous years.

But let’s be real here, Meh doesn’t exactly stand for “Meticulous, engaged, and hardworking.” It stands for… ummm… we don’t know. It was hard enough to come up with “Meticulous, engaged, and hardworking,” and honestly, now we could use a nap.

In other words, we’re not kicking off the holiday season early. We just want to get out ahead of things and make sure that, come a couple months from now, you’re not cursing our name while trying to explain what “in 3 to 10 business days” means to your construction-minded kid.

It’s really the least we could do. Which is generally the most we ever do.
