## Description

Collectors Edition: This Tonka Steel Classics Collector’s Edition Front Loaderis an desertcart exclusive and a must-have for any Tonka fan!

Review: Best toys ever built. - Just like I remember them when I was a kid. Very well built and mostly metal. Kids love them. I wouldn’t buy anything else for the kids.
Review: Excellent nostalgia and super big cool thing to have - 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.
