Breaking news: A new Times truck is rumbling into Toy Town. Just the right size for young readers and grown-up collectors, the cute 3.5 van was inspired by The New York Times blue-and-white delivery vehicles that plied the tri-state roads more than 35 years ago. Made of solid wood, and limited quantitiesavailable.

The van is a mighty mite with fast-rolling action, so young readers can race it along floors, tables and walls as they make fresh-off-the-press deliveries. Less adventurous readers might opt to keep it off the imaginary highways and display it as a collectible and conversation piece.
