Well we were at the store getting a few groceries and I was cruising the auto section for clearence items that I just cant live without and we went past the toy isle.
Went down the isle and what did I see? That Defender.
When I was a kid I had a collection of Stompers which were very similar to this, I had tanks, semis, 4x4's, rocks for them to climb, logs...
So I just had to buy this Defender, it was $3.00.
It is pretty cool, my son and I were playing with it last night running it all over the hosue.
Here is a link to a Stompers page where you can look and see what they looked like.
My favorite Stompers was the yellow Dodge Power Wagon.

Wow! I played with those as a kid too. It's cool to see them still floating around.

Kids these days don't play with these things, they would rather use the electronics. PSP, xbox, WII, etc...

I used to run these things trough my own made up trophy like obsticles and run over matchbox cars. Fun we had as kids!!!

Never had a Rover one though, nice find!!

I have a friend selling his D-110 NAS.
I like it much better than his D-90, for what I like to do.
