Hess 2010 Miniature Toy Truck Now on Sale

Image and video hosting by TinyPicAs huge, huge Hess Truck fans, we are thrilled to announce that the 2010 Hess Miniature Fire Truck ($6.99 plus tax) went on sale this past Friday. This year’s edition is a small-scale replica of the popular 2000 Hess holiday Fire Truck.

Features include:

  • A three-tiered telescoping ladder with 360 degree rotation, side-mounted ladders and a top-mounted reel hose
  • Working headlights, taillights and emergency lights and chrome accents and piping.
  • A quick-release display base.
  • Energizer batteries included

My 4 1/2 year old was thrilled to play with the fire truck, since he’s a big fan of Hess Trucks and Fire Trucks. He loved the working lights and the three-tiered telescoping ladder. We’ve got him the last few years of Hess Trucks, so keep in mind that this is really a mini version of the beloved trucks!

Find it at Hess and Hess Express retail stores for $6.99 plus tax, while supplies last.  To find a Hess location, use the store locator.

The Hess Race Car’s Here! Hess Releases 2009 Toy Race Car and Racer Today!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic My 4 year old son is a huge Hess Toy Truck fan — he had a Hess Truck themed birthday party in September and loves to watch the Hess Toy Truck commercials on YouTube.  So you can imagine our excitement when Hess sent over their 2009 toy, the Race Car and Racer ($24.99 plus tax ) to review.  While it’s not a truck, the large white and green striped race car with a smaller green racer goes on sale today.  Hess has been selling their toy vehicles since 1964 and the race car is the first car on sale since 1993.

The Race Car (which is awesome) has  some  terrific features – 29 lights, three sound buttons (start engine, race and horn), alloy-look wheels, low profile headlights and a rear spoiler. Push down on the front of the car to get to the compartment that holds the racer. The little green racer has 15 lights, low profile headlights, alloy-look wheels, and a pull-back motor. Energizer batteries are included.

Since there are small parts, it’s not for children under 3 years of age. The 2009 Hess Toy Race Car and Racer are currently on sale, exclusively at Hess and Hess Express retail stores. Click here for a list of locations near you.

Hess supplied a sample Race Car and Racer for this review.
