This contest post will stay at the top of the page from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Eastern on November 20th, 2012. Read on to find out about today’s prize and enter to win!
Does anything say “holiday time for the kids” more than the yearly Hess Toy Truck offering? I say no. I loved then when I was small, my kids loved them when they were small, and let’s be honest—my husband still loves them. (Every year when Hess graciously donates a set for giveaway, my husband asks why he doesn’t get to keep it. Poor guy.)
The 2012 Hess Truck offering is this combination helicopter and rescue SUV. Like all Hess vehicles, these come with Energizer batteries (I think this is the only toy that comes with batteries anymore) so that the lights and sounds work straight out of the box. This helicopter has working rotors and retractable landing gear, plus a push-button cargo door release so that the SUV can roll out and spring into action. These Hess toys never fail to deliver the fun!
I have one 2012 Hess Truck set to give away to a lucky Want Not reader. (I do not have one for my husband. It’s possible my priorities are screwed up, but hey, more prizes for you.)
Want to win it? Of course you do! First, go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post today (Tuesday, November 20th, 2012) by 8:00 p.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 p.m. Pacific) for a chance to win. The winner will be pulled and announced tonight, because tomorrow will be yet another chance to win something fabulous.
Ready? Go!

I give Hess “trucks” each year to one of my nephews… One year.. (3 years ago, I think, when the truck came with a rescue helicopter), one of nephew’s uncles from the other side of the family, who was not familiar with Hess trucks, played with it so much on Christmas day that he completely killed the batteries! I’ve never seen that happen before! Energizer batteries are always stronger than any kid… but this uncle was so intrigued with the great workmanship and the lights et al, thatI now get him a Hess truck of the year as well.
Great memories. Nephew has all his trucks around, and plays with them often. Last year, I asked if he still wanted a truck (since he is now in double digits), and the answer was a resounding YES PLEASE!
Go Hess! All kids toys should be made this well!
Our young-at-heart family would definitely appreciate this.
Yay for Hess! My son would love this!!
Me please. My nephew would love this too!
