Dickie Toys Fire Engine Garbage Truck Train Lightning McQueen Toy Crash Testing Mega Review

Dickie Toys make fantastic toys. The do Disney Cars 2 Lightning McQueen, Toy Fire Engines, Toy Garage Trucks, Toy Trains, Toy Cars, Toy Planes (even Dusty from Disney Planes), Toy Farm Machinery, Toy Boats, Mechanical Toys, Pump Action Toys and Toy Cranes. They also many different remote control toys and have toys which cover a fairly wide age range.

My son's first fire engine was a Dickie Toy and it's held up pretty well considering the hard knocks and crashes it has had. Then there was a Toy Camper Van which is a second hand toy in our home and this has also been a good strong and well detailed toy. The best aspect to these toys is the detail for the price. Dickie Toys are very reasonably priced, remembering in Australia we have some of the highest toy prices in the world.

So between the Fire Truck and old Camper Van I started to investigate who is Dickie Toys and what other toys do they make. I then make a point to buy toys which I could see were from the Dickie Toy company. In Australia I have found Dickie Toys at K-Mart, Toys R Us, David Jones, Myer, Big W and The Reject shop. Sometimes they are a little tricky to find.
