1979 Newspaper Ad for the Milton Bradley Big Trak
December 23, 1979. I know it was just a few days ago that I posted a Big Trak ad, so maybe it’s a bit too soon for another look at the electronic toy, but there was no way that I could let this ad block escape our notice. What I should be doing is creating a video for the Big Trak along the same lines as my Starbird video, so maybe I’ll block aside a day for that in September. Until then: Check out how expensive the Big Trak was when it was new! No surprise that I didn’t have this toy back when it was new.
Mid-1980s, I had a gray, futuristic van that kind of looked like this but had a black cannon on top that you pressed down to set off caps. Any idea what this was? I’ve never been able to find it again.
