It's back!!!

When I was a small lad in the dim and distant past, there was one toy I wanted more than anything else...I wanted it more than all the Transformers, wanted it more than my Speak & Spell, my Major Morgan...anything.

What I wanted more than anything else...was Bigtrak.

Bigtrak, for those who are unware, was a tank like thing that you could program to go to places and you could also but an triler for it so it could carry things around and dump them around! Here is a commercial from the UK for the original:

Pretty cool huh?  I would have given my eye teeth for this toy as a kid, but I never ever got one *cue violins*

Last year I was looking into buying an original Bigtrak, but it was going to cost loads of money, so I gave up hope of ever getting one of these toys.

But maybe all is not lost....

I was looking on Facebook the other day, and a commercial saying that Bigtrak was coming back caught my eye!  I mentioned this on Twitter and gave a link to the Wikipaedia page for Bigtrack and this evening I was given the link to this video:

This is great too...BigtrakJr is smaller than his original counterpart, but is not any less awesome!

BigtrakJr is to be released in the UK Summer 2010 and has a RRP of 29.99
