2015 Hess Toy Truck has Arrived at Benspark.com Headquarters

Hess Toy Truck Side by Side!We received the brand new 2015 Hess Toy Truck to check out and review. Opinions of the toy are ours alone. This year is the first year that the Hess Toy Truck is almost entirely available online only. However there will be 10 select shopping malls that will have the Hess Toy Truck starting November 12.

Each year we give the kids the Hess Toy Truck for Christmas. Well, Santa gives it to them to share and they really enjoy them. I just wish I had started this tradition when Eva was born. Oh well, you have to start a tradition at some point, why not right now. Luckily when I received the Hess Toy Truck in the mail today Andrew was asleep so I took the opportunity to record a Periscope of the unboxing. Check it out below.

Oh man, how cool would it have been to open one of those Silver Edition Fire Truck and Ladder Rescue. It would be but I honestly prefer the actual Hess Toy Truck. If goes great with our collection. It has great lights and sounds. It is a tough and rugged as the ones we already have and I know the kids are going to love it. I’m a huge fan and that is why I am so glad to be part of the team promoting this toy. There are so many cool parts to these toys and the lights and sounds are perfectly spot on. I really do want to take this truck to the next parade to get photos of the local firetrucks with the Hess Fire Truck. Continue reading 2015 Hess Toy Truck has Arrived at Benspark.com Headquarters

Iron Man Arrives on My Desk

During the #AvengersEvent I received a few Avengers: Age of Ultron toys. One of them was a 2.5 inch Iron Man toy with a top torso of an ultron figure. That piece fits on top of a spider legged piece, that is not something from the movie but rather a gimmick so that when you get all these 2.5 inch toys you can build some crazy looking robot. Which is also not in the movie. I liked the Guardians of the Galaxy toys more but that didn’t stop me from picking up the Captain America toy as well. I do like how Iron Man looks. It is pretty decent for such a small character.
