I remember wanting a Big Trak in the worst way when I was 7 years old, but don’t think I ever even saw one in real life. Now, I would be content if I had this cool Big Trak print by Neal Mccullough hanging on the wall. Nostalgia bomb!
A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.

Not only did I have one, I had the pretty much useless trailer too!
They do still make them in the UK: http://www.bigtrakxtr.co.uk/
I have the yellow GI Joe Adventure team vehicle that looks like it.
I used to play with one of those as a kid–one of my favorite toys!
I saw a Big Trak not long ago at one of the Toy Resellers I got too sometimes but had no clue on price or even if it worked still. It was in a old ratted out box in the back of the store.
These things aren’t all that expensive, even with their boxes. Looking at recent eBay results, it looks like you could get one with a worn box for just $50–but then you’d have to store that big box!

I had one of those when I was a kid, with the trailer. I would spend hours figuring out the perfect path to program into it to navigate around all the furniture in my living room.
