I live in Spring Park MN which is right next to Mound MN where Tonka toys were produced. My mom, other family members and friends worked there. Watching this video hurts because it reminds me of what our town looked like when Tonka bailed out and moved manufacturing to Mexico around 1980.
Very cool, at least they aren't in the land fill. I'm 60 years old and (I LOVE TONKA)! I still own several as well. Kinda reminds me of the aviation and the riding lawn mower bone yards that exist.
Just saw part 2 and came over to watch this. I'm impressed to say the least! I'm surprised he leaves all this stuff out in the elements to rust. That has to hurt their value I would think. I would also assume from the abundance of dump trucks that they were the most popular truck Tonka ever made.
I miss the days when toy vehicles were made of solid metal almost withstanding everything’. Now everything is made out of cheap plastic. Only fun if you enjoy running stuff over with a car. 🤪🤪🤪
Hey Jim: I guess I needed to do the thumbs up to get counted! Silly me! Love ya' Gods Blessings to you and yours, Vickii DeVerna (VD) as my biker friends called me.
What on Earth? Why??? Then again I’m 46 and bought the big Lego Liebherr model last year... and will buy their Volvo dumper this year. Lego, Tonga, you cannot beat the old toys. I had a Tonga du p truck, it not like the ones here, played with it all the time when I was young.
I love watching these videos! My grandfather's been collecting these all his life and that barely shows them all! Love you grandpa!!
I have driven by this every day for 22 years going back/forth to work. I always wondered by never took the time to ask. Thanks!!!
