5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Tonka is Back (But Not At This Price)... Cheaper Elsewhere, September 1, 2008

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.

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.

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.
