Omg I had one that looks exactly like that one

Até hoje eu tenho , aqui no Brasil, uma parecida com essa verde que comprei nos Estados Unidos em 1985 quando eu tinha 7 anos

The oldest one in my collection is a 1977

Thank you for the detailed video of this toy. I had been trying to figure out what I had back then, and figured it was made by Big Wheels. My older sister and I both had the red one, and I spent hours aimlessly roaming around the paved streets of the large trailer park our family lived in. Sometimes my sister and I would race, and I don't recall what method worked best, but I know there were two... 1) Use both cranks and push them forward so the actions and movement were identical on each side. 2) Alternate that push-turn movement very rapidly, which made the ATV shimmy side-to-side a little, but I believe I tried to offset that shimmy by rocking my body side-to-side. Great memories. The only thing I don't recall are the openings in the floorboards. I thought the whole thing was solid because I seem to recall trying to cross a 40-foot-wide pond behind our backyard. Either I'm remembering it wrong or there was another version. A very durable toy that was too bulky to take with use when we moved... I also recall having a six-wheeler that was yellow, so maybe that one had solid floorboards.

Man i had this when i was a child. Im trying to find one for my son.

I used to love my wild rider when I was a kid. Great memories.

Thank you for viewing this video. I still have this tractor. However, it is currently in storage and, I cannot access it at this time. My apologies.

I picked one up off an online auction a while back that was pretty rough but mostly intact. I'm getting close to putting it all back together after paint but can not figure out how the steering wheel rod connects to that J hook that turns the axle. It has the piece that's missing on yours but I have to make a new one since it's almost ripped off. Rookie mistake not having all the parts before I started I guess. Can't see that joint in any pictures under the hood, and haven't seen a schematic or a part on ebay or anywhere to know where to start? Any chance you could snap a pic for me? Restoring it as a Minneapolis Moline (my dad has a large MM toy collection) for my Great Niece as a Christmas present. Looking good, it just won't steer yet. Lol

This was handed down to me from my big brother. I used it as Jabbas sail barge... it worked pretty dang well!!

I have the battle star deck and 1 mint viper and another viper that is in perfect condition

Amloid also made a half track and a tank.

The building is a Quonset hut.

We had, late 1960's, a Bronco, the Fire truck as also many Zee Toys! Great times!

I just found this lamp on ebay and the original shade is just some generic burlap material

Today in 2024, in that condition, 25 is a steal in places like ebay. That condition usually command over $80.

They did other drivers (I had these when I was little). too bad you don't like these: the 44 is HtF.

Omg, thanks

I have one of these I just got from a storage locker. Blue cap is smashed, with tow hitch and grille intact. Partial “Big Boy” sticker on left side.

I just found the green one at a thift store for 4 bucks! I love the way it sounds 😊

Thank goodness for Gay Toys in the late 70’s and early 80’s, it was one of the few alternatives for poor families like mine so we could have gifts in special occasions. I could only have “good” toys in Christmas or birthday. The rest of the year I would get cheap gifts like these in special occasions like if I would get good grades, or would get toys like these from relatives for my birthday and things like that.

Where can i buy these ?

Awesome my brothers had one of those

Not only will I tell you what I think, I'll tell you what I know. And that's that I love Mustang II'S, and never knew until 20 years ago that SSP made one of those? Have you ever seen the " T=bone kit" it's another unique set with a " Tuff Tom", and a car that gets T=boned over, and over, but doesn't function other than getting hit! Thanks for the video. I seen that SSP also makes a Mach 1, and maybe another Mustang, or equally cool muscle cars. Thank you Dude! With love, and respect. Wes " Smash up Derby" Sept

My most beloved toy ever! 🥰 I still see myself getting it at Christmas Eve, it was hidden under a blanket behind an armchair in our living room. A few years ago I bought one in very good condition in its original box and with the decals still on the sticker sheet. At least in the version which was sold in Germany there were no "food stickers" for the pots and plates included, only the stripes for the boat, sleeping bag and seats and the white ones for the lantern. Regarding the boat I think there were normal rubber bands included for fixing it to the roof.

Great review, my fav truck

I just happen to love Mustang II'S! An SSP Mustang II would be a nice addition to my collection. Have a great day Dude. Wes Sept

I had two sets of the bug, and tuff Tom. I now own one set of the classic smash up derbys, and one set of the " bicentenial"! Love that sound.

I had the exact same style bike when I was a kid. I'm 51 y/o now. Rings back memories 😊 Thank you for sharing. The first one was stolen from the front of our front door. Parents replaced it with the exact same style bike. Had it until I turned 17. Pawned it. I sure miss that old bike.

What is jam pack

There is a 4 digit number stamped on the trailer and / or pressed into the plastic under the tractor. All Ertl products used the 4 digits for date of manufacturing. First 3 are day of the year and last one is last digit of the year. Based on the tandem axel tractor and single plastic door this is likely very late 80s or early 90s. Ertl made the 1/16 Transtars from 1977 up to the late 90s. I have well over 100 of these and have documented the various changes with the biggest being the style of tires used.

I had the white one. I pretended I was Speed Racer in my Mach 5, and my mom also bought me a real white adult-sized motorcycle helmet, and made a red M sticker to put on it. The helmet was way too big for my little head, and I do not know why she bought me an adult sized helmet.

I had a Wild Rider in white. Loved it.

Graphics are cool on the trash trucks. Just found a Processed Plastics Co metro police truck with the same cab. Needs a little cleanup but a good find for 2$

Oh man. How cool!! I never had any Big Jim stuff but I remember the commercials.

I still have one of these that my uncle Charles gave to me as a Christmas gift back in I want to say 1972 or 1973. The last time I ran it was in 1974 while in Michigan. I want to pass it along to a family member and I hope that they can tell a story about it when it's been in the family for a hundred years. So far I've had it for 50 years in my possession.

Does anyone know how to turn this on? Or is their a trick to get them running

I had one we found at a garage sale. Used run my hot wheels on that road.

I have the same exact truck

I had this one too...eventually I ended being a gorilla myself, life is a trap...

Hello i ordered the F18 Hornet from ID4 off of eBay and I want to order some custom 3D AMRAAM missiles for it (like the one the B2 fired at the City Destroyer in Houston Texas) and i found a company that makes them but not dure which scale i should order them in. Do you or anyone else know what scale the F-18 Hornet is and is there pylon points to put the missiles like on the G.I. Joe Skystriker? Please and thank you :-)

That would look cool in my collection

My brother and I had this set in the mid 70’s. I’m not sure which of us it belonged to. All of our toys are long gone. We kept nothing and I honestly have no idea what happened to anything we owned. We did have a lot of fun with this set and it was the only toy outside of sporting equipment that I remember our dad playing with us with.

I’ve got a “Switcher truck” and a VW. I wouldn’t still have them; but I dropped them in a hole in the wall when I was a child; and when I was remodeling the old house, I found them. We’ll over 50 years old.

I just ran across my dad's ATC. Stumbled onto your video via a Google image search of my dad's. The handlebars on this one are exactly like yours. This one doesn't show any jagged signs of breakage. As a kid i remember the decals, but unlike yours, the graphics are no longer visible.. Great to see another!👍

just bought the black version with lights and camper top its great! and great video!

Wow thanks for sharing. I had one to. . I wanted the motorcycle and never got it.. Yes , there is supposed to be little bunjichords to strap the boat down but they get stretched out right away. No food stickers. He also came with a shot gun. . He had a red flannel some chordoroy tan pants sox and boots with a red baseball cap. I got my Big Jim in the summer of 76''. I also got a kiddy pool so I left him out over night to go night fishing. The next day I found him capsized. I went to go straighten his legs out and they just came off. So My GI Joe and my Action Jackson took over the camper for a while till I got JJ Arms. P. S. I still have the backpack, shotgun and fire pit. I'll take pictures.

These are $241.00 new.

I have my grandpa's 89 with the original sheath. It has a forever warranty.

Just completed the set. Took me two sets to do it. Hours of play time with this set. You are the first to do any review on this. Highly unknown toy. Thanks for the memories.

I still have My schwinn stingray. Date code march 1977. Electric blue 5 speed. I will sell it for the right price
