Having a Blast with Classic Tonka Steel! Review and Giveaway

September 21, 2012 by Ashley

Remember the really awesome, real steel Tonka trucks from your childhood? The trucks that would last forever, and if you somehow managed to do a number on them, they were backed with a lifetime guarantee? Those were the days, right?

Those days are BACK, my friend!

Tonka has gotten back to its roots and re-released the 12 styles of the Classic Tonka Steel line of vehicles! Now your son or daughter can play with the toys of your childhood — and they’re backed with the same Lifetime Replacement Guarantee!

I chose a dump truck for my son, Micah (3), to play with. When the UPS man came to deliver a package, I was stunned by how large it was. I couldn’t remember ordering or reviewing something so big! I truly had no idea what it could be. Once I sliced the packing tape off and saw that iconic yellow paint, I was so taken aback!

I really wanted to get a picture that would show how big this truck really is — check it out!

Pretty incredible, right?! We’ve been having a grand ol’ time putting gravel and rocks in the back of it, driving around the neighborhood, and playing at the park. If you have a truck or digger fan, you’ve GOT to check out this line of toys — it will blow their mind!

Right now, Tonka is holding a “Show Us Your Steel” photo contest on Facebook where you can win a custom designed TS400 Dump Truck! They’re giving one away each month, and an additional truck as a grand prize, so be sure to check it out!
