Tonka Chuck and Friends?

[ssjarrett]

My son has a few of the small Tonka die-cast Chuck and Friends vehicles. We are looking for Chuck the dumptruck. On the packages of other vehicles, it shows a truck that I assume must be Chuck--he has a yellow bed and is red with a white cap I believe. We can't seem to find him in any package--I've looked at a Target, Wal-Mart, and BJ's.

Does anyone know anything about this? Does he even exist? DH's name is Chuck, so of course my son wants to get him this for Christmas. :-)

Thanks for any help you can provide!

The only place I've seen Chuck & Friends vehicles individually sold is at local Pathmark grocery stores. I've seen sets sold at Kohl's and drugstore chains, though.

The only dumptruck I've seen is the one with the arms (in the 4-pack at Target, and individually at Pathmark). I think he's called "Tucker the Truckbot."

There are a bunch of different Chuck pickup trucks, too. We have one just like this, but with a red bed (from Target):

Aha, found some eBay listings for you (I just searched for "tonka chuck dump*"). It does exist!

Those on ebay are just right! Searched all over the place locally and somehow forgot about ebay. :-) Thanks so much!!

I found the small diecast at Fred Meyer today. Let me know if you want me to mail it to you. It came with 4 other cars and the price was around $6.

Thanks so much for your offer! I went ahead and got them on ebay, as I liked all the other cars that came with it. There sure are a lot of different ones! Thanks again!!
