[AstroManLuca]

Oh wow, I would have probably shit my pants if my parents had given me one of those.

This is why I'm looking forward to being a parent. I'm totally playing with Legos again once my kid is old enough.

My 5 year old calls them the "skinny blocks". Him, my 18 month old, and myself love to play legos. We don't use the directions, and he's better at creating things than I am. It's awesome, you will have a blast.

Dang, those are awesome.

Glad you like them. I got introduced to them when I took my son to one of his friend's birthday party. His friend had the Mack Dump truck with a snow plow attachment and my son would NOT put it down.

I still have a huge Tonka dump truck and fire truck (that actually squirts water!) from when I was 5. They were so sturdy you could ride on them 🙂

Shows how well they built that stuff. The new Tonka products are all plastic. It's a shame. I had all of these at one time:

<-- was my favorite!

<--string kept breaking, mom would fix it with twine.

LOL that's awesome! Ultimately a waste, but still awesome. :awe:

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

these are awesome. FYI our local TJ Maxx had a couple at very good prices over Christmas time...

So the crane I ordered for my son arrived at my office today. I did not appreciate how big it was going to be. With the boom extended,the height of the crane is 51.2 inches, or slightly more than 4 feet.

I enjoyed tearing up part of our little median strip in our driveway as a child with all my old-school Tonka trucks. Those were a blast and survived pretty much everything you subjected them too... though, after being left partially exposed to the elements for quite a few years, rust could become an issue like we discovered with ours - improper storage is to blame, of course - steel is obviously something you have store properly if you want to avoid rust.

I just remembered burying three large tonka trucks in the backyard of the house that my family lived in the late 70s.

Wonder if they are still there.

Not to hijack this thread but I just came across a toy line called Rokenbok a few weeks ago. JESUS I would have nutted as a child with a full setup.
