Billy has an impressive cache of vehicles. Made even more impressive by the number of variations internationally. When I first discovered that Billy had these other professions I thought that was something but never imagined all that would turn up online. Has anyone collected all of these?
Many of the vehicles are variations on a car which goes forward and has a setable front wheel allowing it to go forward or in circles either direction. Others can be pretty mechanically involved. The most of which is the first generation grabber. The three buttons on the back allow for forward, reverse, stop and a cycling of the claw which you can stop at any point which allows you to open the claw, lower it, grab something, then pick it up and drive away if you like. All of this mechanically done in the vehicle. It's a bit of a challenge to operate which makes it that much more interesting to play with.
So, to differentiate the more interesting vehicles I've make my own "Top 5" and flagged them as such. I will soon create detail pages for each of these with video of them in action.
