TonkaRetro Mighty Dump Truck - Collector's Edition - Made with 2X More Steel, Kids Construction Toy, Metal Truck, Toy Truck for Boys and Girls, Kids, Toddlers, Ages 3+

I couldn't really decide between 4 and 5 stars but went with 5 because it's a great product that's brand new, no rust, scratched tires, etc.So in this line they added more metal and the older 70s logo is back. This toy in the 70s had two levers for the bucket as this new one has only one lever and like more recent models it is plastic and huge.There is a lot of metal in this one and the bucket IS metal. The arms are not. I'm not sure why they chose to use so much body metal and plastic on the main working part. It's not a problem as I'm an adult who just wanted this for nostalgia not wanting to get an actual 70s one that's rusted or bent with a lot of play wear. Of course these are indeed toys and I do think this toy would hold up to quite a bit of use. These things are huge and I know that's why MINE has to live outside...no muddy, dented, rusty huge toys inside. I'm not a purist when it comes to Tonka...but I don't want to pay much for old beat up things. The price I paid for this seems very reasonable compared to a vintage one to do what this will do...sit on a shelf....take down every now and then to marvel over.Very nostalgic even if they are NOT reproduction pieces. The one handle actually works really well so it's not a problem. There are two versions of the mighty loader so if you want the one with the MOST metal, it's this one.Excellent quality product to delight anyone. People say their kids are so rough on toys....I don't know what on earth they do to them but this is a sturdy toy. If the kid is really destructive stick with the dump truck because either current version is practically indestructible.

Bought for my nephews 1st birthday gift. It was great and durable and moves easily.

I believe this dump truck has carried everything in my house that will fit it. My grandson absolutely loves filling it up and hauling smaller items. It is a nice size and is extremely durable. It is nice and heavy and is easy to pull up the back to dump his items. I believe this toy is so durable that he will one day be giving it to his own children. Love Tonka!

Nice sized toy loader, made from metal, very little plastic, it was definitely worth what we paid for it. It's hard to find a reasonably priced kids toy like this.

Well built metal tonka truck just like when I was a little one. Our grandchildren have spent hours and literally pushed this truck for miles. It has held up well. I was so pleased with it I bought a second one.

Finally, sturdy toys that can survive my rough two and four year old boys. I was very pleased to see that it's made out of a sturdy metal, which seems thick enough to be durable. However, there is still some plastic pieces such as the wheels and the part that connects to the loader to lift it up and down. These haven't been an issue so far. These pieces seem thick too so I hope they last.

Nice truck. There's still more plastic on it than I would like, but overall it's more durable than the all plastic version. This truck will take some beating.

Toddler loves it.
