My parents & I lived on a steep hill - I used to sit on my tonka truck and ride down that long steep hill (Heights lane) from the top down to the shops - Ace! To say Tonka were indestructable well ! - How many do you see about now ? - My truck got stolen out of our back garden - A lot went missing that summer not only in our neighbourhood ? - There was a guy - A rag tatter who had turned his hand to the metal trade - he was the one stealing the toys - All he saw them as was mid gauge steel ready to be weighed in as scrap ! - And his partner was just as eager to put them in his crusher ! I loved that big yellow truck ! - Sad to know it got that big yellow truck ended up as scrap ! - It went to that scrapper knowing it was loved and gave a lot of fun and laughter to me and my sister as we spedd down that long steep hill !

For each Xmas in the 70's when my brother and I were little kids, he would get a brand new Tonka toy vehicle. They were so cool that I was almost as enthralled with them as I was with my girl toys. LOL! His Tonkas included a couple of dump trucks, fire engine, a Jeep-type vehicle w/ removable tires, and more. I finally even got my own pink Tonka "Jeep" w/ flowers on the canopy--perfect for my dolls and small stuffed animals to ride in. I loved that thing! Wish I still had it. It was so rugged!

I was about 10, in 1988, when I outgrew my Tonka front end bucket loader, (I got it used- 1970s vintage). I "parked" it beside a willow tree out in thr pasture. 2 years ago, my boy was 5, and wanted a loader for his Dump truck. An hour later I "dug" up the bucket loader CHOPPED roots off that had grown through the front end. Took a hose to it. NOW He is playing with it. 35 years half buried....paints failed.-- but will last another generation.

Funny how they don't make toys like the use to. Take the Tonka Toys for instance. Where sissy parents had said, that Tonka Toys was to hard of a toy having sharp edges that children could get hurt on... Actually made me think that the troble isn't the Toy... They just don't make kids as tough like they use to instead.

Tonka,Buddy L,Nylint and my favorite Ertl. They all made great toys from steel. Tonka and Ertl still exist as name brands but the products just aren't the same. I don't think either still makes the big, steel trucks. The little (1/64 scale) Ertl tractors are now mostly plastic sadly.

NAFTA, then giving most favored nation status to China. Then add in higher wages due to inflation & stricter (and more expensive) environmental regulations in the US, it became much cheaper to ship products in from around the world. Now kids don't even play with toys. By kindergarten they are demanding iPhones and video games. It is a damn shame. The kids don't realize they have their entire adult life to stare at a screen. They only have a few fleeting years to play and have fun.
