Classic Tonka is Back (But Not At This Price)... Cheaper Elsewhere

Review Date: September 1, 2008

Reviewer: Paul A. Fucito, Washington, DC

Thrilled to see the classic, real metal classic series back in production. My originals now more than 30 years old are a bit scratched now, but 100% playable and the joy of my 2.5 year old son. Just be careful what you pay for these as Toys R Us sells this for $19.99 in the store and on-line.

Shameful price gouging

Review Date: December 2, 2009

Reviewer: E. P. Allie,

We just bought this at Toys'R'Us for $22.99. This is nothing more than shameful price gouging and Amazon should disassociate itself from storefronts like this. It is not a vintage, collectible, or rare toy. Its a currently manufactured item. What a crock.

lasts a long time!!

Reviewer: Margaret Numbers,

I got one of these for my young nephew last year. When I asked him what he wanted for Christmas this year, he mentioned the truck and wants another toy from this series. I was amazed to find he was still playing with it. In an age where everything takes batteries and kids seem to have a shorter attention span than ever, it was great to see that there are things which still get them excited. I would recommend this for anybody looking for a holiday or birthday gift. Great quality and it will last a long time. I think it will probably last his little newborn brother, when he is old enough to appreciate it.

Toys & Juvenile Furniture Inc.. MASSIVE UPCHARGE!

Review Date: December 14, 2008

Reviewer: Hunter, Pacific Northwest

This is a great toy for children, but Toys & Juvenile Furniture Inc.. charges $77 more than stores charged. That's a huge rip-off for others who are selling it for $22.99 and free shipping. Anyone paying $99 for this is just looking to throw away money to a company that inflates prices beyond imaginable belief.

My old nemesis, back to its former glory

Review Date: June 12, 2010

Reviewer: Sandra A. Jacobs, San Jose

How gratified I was to see the metal Tonka dumptrucks available to a new generation. My twin brother had one when we were tots in the late 70's, and he neatly demonstrated its extreme durability of construction and mobility of the parts by seizing the lip of the cargo tray, whipping it around like a nunchaku, and hitting me in the face with the hood of the truck. If parents have doubts about the durability of the toy, let me assure you that the cartilage of my nose yielded before that truck ever would. At 35, I still bear a deep scar across my septum from this fine product. The child I intend it for today has no siblings as yet, but as an old master of Tonka-fu (the fire truck with extensible ladder makes an excellent weapon for blocking and tangling, I later found), I intend to train him well in the use of this toy. This proud martial arts tradition shall not die out in my time.
