My 2 year old DS has asked for a "Big Truck" from Santa. This should go well with the 2,375 other trucks he already has. Admittedly, he loves each and every one of those 2,375 trucks.

Anyway, I saw someone mention Hess trucks in another thread. Are they awesome? Are they big? I have no idea what his definition of Big Truck is, but I would like Santa to deliver, as he has been consistent in that request and that is the only thing he's asked for.

If not Hess, any other recs? He already has a big Tonka dump truck. I'm thinking "Big Truck" might mean 18 wheeler, based on his ramblings as we drive down the road.

We love our hess trucks, they are one of our most used toys. We get them every year. They are a nice size. Not huge but more of a medium scale.
Here's a pic I found on the web so you can see the scale.

We also have this truck- if you want a really BIG truck. It is a huge hit at playgroups, etc. Sadly they don't make it anymore so you would need to score one on ebay or second hand.

DS2 is crazy about trucks. He's getting Bruder trucks for Christmas. They can be found discounted at Marshall's / TJ Maxx.

Are Bruder trucks sturdy enough for a turned-two-in-August little boy?
