The Cargo Plane is an impressive, heavy-load transport aircraft. This year’s Hess Toy Truck is not a truck at all, but rather a cargo plane. Some of them are saved in the basement for future grandchildren, or just for the kids to look back on fondly (especially my son).Īs you can see, just the mere thought of the Hess Toy Truck brings back fond memories of my grandfather (he passed away about 12 years ago), as well as my children opening them up on Christmas morning and playing with them. As for my kids, they fully enjoyed playing with them over the years. Even when he became too old to go out and purchase them, someone in our family would purchase them to give to the kids on his behalf.Īll of the kids played with the Hess Toy Trucks, except my nephew. That meant each holiday season my grandfather would purchase four Hess Toy Trucks for the grandchildren. When my daughter was born a few years later, my grandfather also bought her the Hess Toy Truck, followed by buying one for my son as well as my niece. The following year my grandfather bought him the Hess Toy Truck again. My nephew was about six months old at the time, so he didn’t play with it (it’s not intended for small children), but it was set aside as a collectible for him. So the fact that we went out and purchased that as a gift made it a big deal. My grandfather purchased his a Hess Toy Truck for Christmas. The tradition all started when my nephew was born (26 years ago). Even though my kids are young adults now, we still cherish the Hess Toy Truck tradition. The Hess Toy Truck is a holiday tradition in my home. ![]() ![]() It’s that time of the year again – time for the unveiling of the new Hess Toy Truck.
