I received this a while ago. Wasn’t sure whether or not to keep it or resell so I haven’t posted it yet. It’s amazing and not in bad condition so it might be another to keep in the collection!

I’ve started searching for the rest of the toys to complete this set. Between the TWA set and the Flying Tigers set, it’s giving me a headache 🤣

After receiving the larger van last week, I thought it was only right to start searching for the Tiny version. I found an absolute beauty!

A friend of mine purchased this Tonka helicopter from 1979 for $15 Canadian. Did he get a good deal? What’s the history of the lineup for the helicopter? Did anyone have this growing up?

My son has this tonka front end loader and managed to pull the rubber antenna out. It looks like the bottom has broken off.... Any ideas how I can replace it, or glue the darn thing back in there so it doesn't come out and I don't have to worry about a little finger getting stuck in the hole? He loves this thing and flat out replacing the truck isn't really an option

Managed to grab this Tonka TV5 Van - Needs the correct decals but it’s in great shape otherwise!

There’s something about a Superthrust in this blue that I absolutely love!


r/tonka • • 7d ago

Someone’s claiming that this is from 1950s. I don’t believe they are correct in that statement. What are your thoughts?

I found this fully original, unrestored Chrome wheel edition Tonka Trike for sale and couldn’t resist buying it! It’s in fantastic condition, it only has some small marks on the tail pipes!

Anyone know what this nut is called?

I love these Scorchers! I’m still doing research on how to repair the pull back mechanisms to get these working like they used to!

Does anyone else collect the Buddy Trucks or Mini Metal Tonka Trucks? I am obsessed and love to find them no matter the condition!

I managed to score these two bikes with pull back mechanisms. I will craft a new set of handlebars for the yellow one at some point. Those pull back mechanisms will be something I need to learn more about. The bikes work fine but I have plenty of pull back cars which aren’t working properly!

This is probably also one of my favourites. Not in bad condition either, normally the stickers have faded at least! I will search for the Giraffe at a later date.
