Didn't you wish you had this as a kid.

Oh yeah, seeing something similar to that when I was a kid. Is when I got my first boner.

Maybe there should be more toys like this. Lots of fun & gets kids interested in construction trades.

Some years ago they sold VHS tapes of construction equipment being used. Target market was young boys.
I thought it was silly till I saw a report on it that mentioned how many were sold & the profits made.
One of the TV reports said his kid had watched the video something like 30 times.
I think this is it: http://www.amazon.com/All-About-Heavy-C ... B00003BDYT

Coming from a farming community; that would have never compared to grandpa's tractor:)

I remember the VHS tapes! My MIL bought my son three of them - trains, aircraft, and construction. A year or so later he got a monster truck version as well. He loved to watch them until he grew out of them. Kids get into that loop of watching the same movie many, many, many times over. At least these were better than the barbie videos my daughter loved.... Try watching the prince and the pauper (musical no less) barbie version a half dozen times with your little girl keeping an eye on you in case you try to doze off or something...
