The County 1884 is making a return in March Limited Edition of 1000 so I have heard.

I would suggest its 'roughly' 1/32.......

I cant get them yet and I have still not seen any confirmation of the 6600 re-release.....? Britains are planning several 'surprise' releases in 2021, but who knows!

No and yes!

A Bange Royer - guess this is the chinese liscence!!

It's funny Sean how we all experience different levels of service. I must send in excess of 30 Hermes parcels a month and have only ever had one problem, though I do pack very well, reference your other thread. It all depends on the individual with Hermes and in fact any other courier, they are all much of a muchness.....

Understated - 'a little repair' ha ha! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/britains-combine-harvester-Needs-A-Little-Repair/143877993940?hash=item217fcbf5d4:g:UooAAOSwDnpfz6Od

Well my belief was wrong, doh! Consulted my oracle and it was only available in the rainbow banded box just like Cyrils. I blame it on age.....

As far as I know thats the standard issue box. My belief is that the all red box is the U.S. version....?

Here you go. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britains-Farm-Toys-New-Holland-Combine-Harvester-tractor-9575/303765068236?hash=item46b9cf19cc:g:lf8AAOSweENfrqCZ Utter madness....... Mind you, you only get that price if some numpty will pay.....

Could be, who knows what they have knocking about! RRP is going to be about £30, so better than the current prices!

It may be a trial re-release to see how many they shift? It could follow that more are re-issued, who knows?

Seen them pop up on a wholesale site. Feb 2021 re-releases. Most of the others we know about are December through to February.

Blimey, if I were selling it, I would be happy with half that!

Would think its more likely to be from a version of the original as the heritage one (assuming you mean the one on the plinth with Henry Ford) was a resin model from memory. Also it would probably be along the lines of the ERTL John Deere 'tractor with man' release for their 75 years - the original casting or very close to.......

As you say it is the same casting as the ERTL current releases. So nothing new.

Just saw a post from MarGe Models on face slap. Seems they have a new method for printing decals! See how quickly you get it! https://www.facebook.com/MarGe-Models

Madness! It's only a Britains afterall....... I dont know where people are getting the money from, perhaps they swapped their common sense for it!

On a trip to Tuckwells John Deere I spotted this - proper tractor on some proper tyres! In the background their demo 8410 RT.

I was in Southwold last night for fish and chips! Mrs Ts down by the harbour is where i would recommend

One of my growers has one, the rear tyres are 7 feet tall! Has replaced a crawler, they reckon as good if not better as it has Vario Grip etc etc.

Have been having a major sort out/count up/double check of what models I have over the last day or two. Opened a trade case thinking they were 3 x Britains TW15s (as that is what it said on the case) only to find 3 x Britains JD 3650s! Happy Days!

Its an interesting development in our hobby, these prices. I have recently sold something which made twice as much as a fixer upper than a mint boxed one I bought 6 months ago, a fairly rare piece, but never worth that in my humble. Which leads me to further wonder why prices are so bonkers...... The Britains SG2s are the best current example - they are afterall just a toy and i believe prices will fall back! But are there a lot of folks joing the hobby now versus a year or two ago - without 'the knowledge'? For sellers its great, better than putting your money in the bank, but for those who are starting out, (as i did 25 odd years ago), it is extremely difficult to build a collection without a shed load of money! The trick is not to rush into a bidding war with someone, bide your time, set a limit, stick to it and one will find its way to you eventually - my mantra anyway!

I really dont understand Cyril..... It is afterall only a Britains tractor! Like I said I do hope Dave gets paid - good on him if he does. Ebay has indeed gone bonkers over the last few weeks/months and as you say for a collector, its not good. My advice would be to let all the nut cases pay that money, then when they have bought theirs, the prices should drop - there will always be another pop up!
