big loader store displays
this item came from a toy store in perth originally, and i bought it on trademe for $80 from the people who owned the toy store. they also had a store display of the big big loader, but left this with their daughter when they moved to new zealand. she sold it about a month ago. she was kind enough to email her parents a photo and they sent it on to me for interests sake.
the set is in really decent shape with nice tidy stickers and fully functioning. the only possible damage is a large hole cut out of the bottom, but i have no idea if this is how they were made or what the story is. the cover serves well to muffle the sound of the engine quite a bit.
i have used this in one public display and intend to substitue the original balls with white ones. when the black ones get dropped by the trucks, they are near impossible to see on the base. during the show, i ended up with only one on several occasions, and had to switch the motor off while i located the others. at least with it having a cover, the balls cant get lost on the floor.

big big loader store display
i found this beauty on ebay for $149NZD shipped. it doesnt come with the trucks or chassis, but i have spares. it took a month to arrive, and thankfully was in one piece. the dump truck seems to get stuck at the top of the spiral, so will have to sort that out.
