Did anyone collect these as a kid? I used to look forward to when they came out ever year around Thanksgiving for Christmas. I even remember the lights and the siren sounds they would make. The cool thing about the truck was that they would even include the batteries.

I had one -- until it got destroyed by one of my Tonka trucks.

Yep. There weren't many Hess stations in Philadelphia when I was growing up, but when we would visit the Poconos, there were a few up there. My Dad bought me a few, and yea, I liked how the lights worked too.

my favorite one growing up was the one with the sliding doors and the barrels of oil.

I loved the sirens and lights too. It appealed to my primitive brain.
Do you remember the gas station complex?

I had a tanker truck and not only did the lights work, but you could put water in the tank and it would come out through the rubber hose. Wish I had kept it.
