I have been collecting loggings toys for years.  In my office (Loggers Insurance Agency, Inc.), I have a display case full of die-cast logging toys - everything from skidders, processors, forwarders, log trucks, etc.  I even have a model log truck from Russia.  The writing on the box for the log truck from Russia is all written in Russian.  I have all of the original Timberjack models.  I have 50 different die cast metal logging toys.

I am always looking for companies that sell logging toys like www.everstoystore.com.  (Search under the words "log" or "logging").  Of course, I am always checking Ebay.  Some toys are available from equipment distributors like Valmet, John Deere and Ponse.

Worst thing about them is that the ones I collected seemed to weight several tons, wouldn't fit on the desk. :(

My six year old son gave me some Lincoln Logs and said I should use my "Logosol Skills" and build a cabin with them. :)

Have you got a WM sawmill yet?

Yes, I do have a model wood-mizer in my collection.  I bought direct from their website about 10 years ago.

I've got quite a few, but none of the high dollar stuff like Smith-Miller. Mostly stuff about the value level of the Hubleys.  I have a bunch of wooden logging trucks, and all sorts of other collectibles. Most of it boxed up and in storage.   Ya want me to have a sale? ;D ;)
