Micro R/C cars are racing off the shelves
While there was no single toy that blew out the buzz-o-meter last Christmas, micro R/C cars made some pretty steady gains on the toy circuit. According to industry tracker The NPD Group, the larger R/C category posted a 2.3% growth in sales in Q4 2002 over Q4 2001. But when you take into account the category's 32.3% increase in units sold, it becomes clear that lower-priced mini R/Cs were a major category driver last holiday season.
