To ring in the coming 21st century, the Hess Toy Truck went where it had never ventured before - outer space! The Toy Truck and Space Shuttle with Satellite was six years in the making - the longest development time for any Hess toy. It comes with six batteries to unleash a variety of lights and sounds that roar, beep, and flash in various combinations. But that's not all: Press the red button above the shuttle cockpit to make the cargo doors open, and the detachable satellite rises from the bay and its retractable solar panels fall into place.
