This is it - the big one! After a lot of effort we managed to track down a mint condition Giant Command - the flagship rough terrain monster truck from Galoob's 1980s Power Machines range. It is the sixteen wheel version called Leader 16 (a thirty two wheel version is out there somewhere!). Ridiculously rare and hard to come by, probably because so many were put through their paces in the great outdoors, but that won't stop us doing the same! We are off into the wilds for some serious off road action, so watch this space for footage and images of the same. Sixteen wheel drive, and I mean sixteen wheel drive. Poor Flex was dragged all over the floor in a tug of war the other day but Giant Command was certainly not built for speed. It trundles along, but has amazing strength.
First stop is Great Gran's house (aka Granna's house) and her garden. Fresh air, wildlife and the coolest boys' toys known to man - it doesn't get better than that.
Edit (30/10/13): I have, after an exhaustive search, managed to locate Giant Command 32. Comprised of 3 Power Machines - Grip Iron, Turbo Jet and Leader 16 (which we already own). It is huge when fully constructed and I have never seen a toy truck like it. It was a global search but finally we located the rarest of them all!
