Did'nt beleive my eyes when I went in Maplins yesterday, but it's back, and on my christmas wish list check it out:-

It is indeed!
And from what I gather, they are made from the original moulds.
I always wanted one but they were ridiculously expensive - I think you can get these for £40 is it? I saw one in a gadget shop a couple months back.
unfortunatly not exact same. the moulding is different, the top battery holder is firm closed as the batterys go underside with others now. the track/ motor sound has gone from the MB . the original Milton Bradley was more weighty and had more sound options. It is very good though for £25 quid. loads of laughs for kids... I mean Adults ;D ;D ;D ;D
I have to say, it's been out for a while now - http://www.hawkin.com/20670-13149/bigtrak
Even so, it's great to be back as they say!
I had one of these! Unfortunately it broke years ago and got thrown away :-(
I even had a trailer. I wonder if it's still got the jack for it on the new one. They should also replace the "photon cannon" with a laser :-D (although that might be a little dangerous for kids....)
Must admit I think I would try and find an original - bit like the Chopper.
I was once after a Raleigh Chopper, but the price's are so high, could pay another C5 instead, plus I think the Grifter is going to become more collectable over the next few years so am looking for a nice one at the right price and when its fairly local.
Retro Andy.
My little bruv had an original Big Track back in the day...it was so unrelaible the disappointment saw it being left at the bottom of the toybox.
Hope the newer ones are better !
