MDFord Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Heres a set I bought mainly because i didn't have the little fiatagri L85 and also the price was good. Question is how many other models did Britains bundle together like this, and was it done for all retailers or just Toymaster going by the original price tag ? I think I'll leave them "stuck" together as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberthenning Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I actually remember going into a toymasters and seeing this, they also did the blue 6635 version in multipack too. cant remember if they did any others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_scrivener Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looking back several decades, to the old lead days of 'proper Britains' (i.e. when the Britains family owned it), I've often wondered why they didn't produce cheapo lead farm ranges like they did with 'B series', 'W Series', 'A Series' and 'Crown Range' lead soldiers, cowboys/indians, etc. The now very rare, and never catalogued, fixed arm Farmer's Wife may indicate they were thinking about it, but perhaps so late the idea was overtaken by the plastic range. Thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts anyone? David, Have you seen this? I think they were made as a lower end product? http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,28558.0.html Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_scrivener Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks for the link Scott. I had no idea such sets existed, and the set number 3/24 suggests they were more than this one. I shall have to get the reference books out to see when & where this set number, box art, etc, might fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
