now THAT was innovation (Cross Boss)

[Lonestar]

Right, this is a vintage RC site, correct? so here's a vintage ad... granted, we're not talking racecars here... still, when I stumbled upon that one on rcmoustache.blogspot.ch (Salut Nicolas!!!) I nearly fell off my chair. This was freaking brilliant and in 1986 ANYTHING rc would sell like hot cakes!

i still have mine, and i'm pretty sure it still works. another one of my old toys packed away in my parents basement.

[GotXjaG]

I don't remember this. Around what year was this out?

[kaiser]

ahhh, good old galoob. they made some interesting stuff and their comercials were always great.
what a way to jump start the memory, now i'm thinking about stompers and rough riders.

[mrlexan]

I dont remember that, but is freggin cool!

[Coelacanth]

I never heard of it either, kinda funky...but man, what a weird niche product!

[Lowgear]

Toys in the 80's (like most everything else in my opinion) were the greatest! I had a lot of fun with this truck.

Here are two others from Galoob that I also owned:

I remember those commercials!! These remind me of the movie "Big"

[Coelacanth]

Didn't Galoob make candy?

[Bormac]

I still remember those 'animal' commercials. Back then it seemed like the ultimate 'fun' truck.

Yeah the 80's rocked man!

[CAT3K]

I love the old toy adverts

I had one of these as a kid, it's probably up in my parents loft somewhere. I'll have to dig it out next time i'm over

I still have my Cross Boss, my Animal, my 32 wheeler, etc... a few of the toys I didn't take apart and/or completely destroy.

[Charlie don't surf]

I still have all four of my Stomper mini trucks from Mc Donalds happymeals

[cunawarit]

Man! I miss the 80s

That Cross Boss is really quite something! Not sure how well it would REALLY work, or if it would actually get over stuff that a toy grade rock crawler wouldn't... But the bridge action is still hella cool!!!

Haha As if Coel,

Those clips are awesome. Thanks for bringing it back to me. I so remember having those, what a blast.

Great stuff guys, fantastic.
