Bigtrak
Bigtrak ‘was’, and now is once more, a programmable electric vehicle of the coolest variety, a six wheeled behemoth of a moon buggy first created by ‘Milton Bradley’ way back in 1979. With a front-mounted blue photon ‘laser canon’ light and a keypad on top that allows for the programming of up-to 16 consecutive commands the Bigtrak quickly became a must-have toy for little boys (and some girls) the world over, and was 100% guaranteed to turn your friends green with envy should you have been lucky enough to own one.

The New Bigtrak
So whether you’re reminiscing about the days of sending Bigtrak off on pre-programmed missions to attack your sisters ankles, or of times spent delivering refreshments to your Grandma with the help of Bigtraks trailer accessory, the 2010 Bigtrak re-release can be nothing if not great news. Why? Because the 2010 model is an exact replica of the late 70’s early 80s release. That’s right, it’s even been made using the very same molds that the original Bigtrak was produced from. With the only real noticeable difference being for the American enthusiast is that the 2010 models keypad design replicates the look of early UK release rather than the American alternative, but if we’re being honest, it does look better.

With twenty-three buttons leading to almost limitless combinations for fun and mischief Bigtrak is back, and while not ‘better than ever’ but virtually ‘exactly the same’ Bigtrak is set to delight old fans and new alike.
