Robots, vehicles, constructions, performances, figures, machines - everything can be done using good old mechanics, gears, cams and cranks. No electronics, micro processors or even electricy is needed to make your kids and yourself playing for hours with great and original toys. The modern plastic remote controlled toys look all the same - same kinds, same colors, same ideas. The good old mechanical toys can be unique and cranky, sometimes dusty and imperfect, but they have souls that no modern toy will ever have. What About Collecting and Making Retro Toys?

Today you’ll see the same lovely mechanical toys from your childhood to be made in factories, but they still can be done by hand because they use the same simple shapes and mechanisms. The mechanical toys are powered by all-time valid principles of physics and mechanics and no one needs to change the way they work. You have the choice whether to buy and collect or to make retro toys yourself - their simplicity is genious.
