Re: Picture Thread:Cool Little GM Trucks

The later Nylint stuff will go up,I'm sure. One day people will realize they are no longer and they made more realistic & detailed stuff and way longer than Tonka and Buddy L. My youngest son was born in '92 and I bought him Nylint stuff. They had a catalog and you could order direct from them. Went he took his Aerial Hook N Ladder out of the box the basket was broken. I contacted them and they sent out a new piece and told me if I ever needed any parts,let them know. The siren went up and they sent out another. They were the last great vehicle toys made from steel...to be played with. All this goofy plastic junk survives and they went out. It's a sign of the times. If it's not from a movie or tv show kids don't want it.
