The '''TOYZ''' is a van in [[Liberty City in GTA III|Liberty City]] which contains RC cars and explosives. The van is identical to the [[Pony]], but has flat sides. Once entered, it starts a mission where you use remote control cars in order to destroy people and property, [[Rampage|rampage]] style, and sometimes it will be an RC checkpoint race. The van is blue in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and white in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. A similar vehicle, called the [[Top Fun]] van, is used for the same thing in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the van is called [[Berkley's RC Van]]. You can avoid starting the RC missions by pushing the van forward about two car lengths. The name is written in all caps and is short for ''Toyz'n the Hood''.
