Not me, perhaps should purchase one now to compensate?
Or if only to please the big kid residing in me?
Under 30 notes too, sooo tempting...

Must resist the urge...

I didn't have one frown

I really wanted one at the time, but i think i can resist the temptation of getting one now...

Its brillinat (or at least it was when I was 8 years old...). You can programme it to go all over the shop, and the blue laser on the front fires with realistic ray gun sound effects. The icing on the cake is as per the above poster - you can hook up a trailer.

Who wouldn't want one????

I had one with a trailer too.

I can clearly remember sitting there, programming it to do different things. I loved it.

Basic by modern standards, but at the time I thought it was awesome.

Wow, a schoolfriend of mine had one, and I was sooo jealous.As previously said that image just transports me back! It may have started my love of big trucks. I think I am going to have to go and buy a trailer for my Mog now!

Cool, it would be interesting to compare it with a new one, i find it hard to believe the build quality will be as good on the new one.

Still in my mums loft. Didn't even know she still had it till I mentioned it was back on the market the other day. How many years is that, 25 you reckon? Blimey.

Still got mine too complete with trailer. I got it second hand without instructions. Took a while to figure out how to programme it.

had one (with trailer) when i was a kid, and funnily enough, just got given another (they must think i haven't actually grown up or something.........;-)

But the plan is to hack the new one, and give it wireless connectivity so i can steer / guide it from the internet...... geek alert lol!!

I had one of these - hours of fun! Must have got it in the very early 80s. I remember having to alter the number of degrees in the turn command depending on what surface it was on!

It disappeared from my parents' house a few years ago ie skipped frown
