the other green Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 What are the lads who throw their boxes away thinking now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 i started saving the models in 1978 after I`d wrecked numerous MF 135`s both red and yellow , dinky and corgi too.....I even broke my tonka toys ! some of the guys used to call me tonka because of that I still have a 1978 Deutz dx110, bale sledge 8 wheel trailer and the first Nh baler I bought or was given back then not forgetting the MF 760 NH baler has the tow hook broken, sledge perfect , deutz one broken rear arm and MF combine perfect if dusty. Sadly none have boxes but I do have about 4 years worth of boxes from 1983 ish until I stopped collecting in 1987..oh boy am i kicking myself when I see the price difference as I`m hoping my collection will be my pension policy one day. In the rush to see the models often the boxes got ripped anyway am i alone on that one ? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 My brother and I saved none of the boxes from when we were kids, heck, who would ever have thought then (early '70s) that adults, including me would be collecting and paying what we do. Since I got into this as an adult though I've kept all my boxes. So has my wife, she collects diecast cars. We have an old wardrobe in the basement full of just toy boxes. What really bugs me is the bubble packs that 1/64 scale stuff comes in. I never try to keep those and now unless it's something really important, a 1/64 toy is worth next to nothing if it's not in a bubble pack.

Old Ford Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 HI WELL I SAVED MOST OF MINE FROM AROUND 1978 ON, GOT FORD 6600, MF595, FIAT, DEUTZ, LOTS OF STRAW BOX ONES. AND IMPLEMENT ONES TOO AROUND 100 + . I PUT IT DOWN TO MY BED ROOM BEING IN A LOFT CONVERSION, AND ONE END WAS STILL THE LOFT BY THE STAIRS. SO THE BOXES WENT IN THERE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSER THAN THE BIN. NOW I AM QUITE GLAD THAT I WAS LAZY BACK THEN. ;D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 i personally think mid 70s boxes were "Britains at their best" for?presenting their farm product in the straw boxes did not think to much for the rainbow boxes, I don't know what it was about the straw boxes as a kid but it just subliminally said buy me . this COULD be a topic in its self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
