FNHIR Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi Bill, first of all let me say how grateful I am to you for taking the time to listen to us madmen/collectors, it really is muh appreciated. What I want to know is basicallly who decides which models to bring out in 1:32, do you just do anything the OEM asks or have you a lot of discretion, and for European models that would not be widely known in America, how much input into the decision does the UK office have?

Bill Walters Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 There is a lot of discussion through email and phone calls about what is tooled and why. Obviously the #1 choice are tractors/implements that are sold worldwide. After that, you look at what would be the best sellers in a specific region. Since Europe is still the primary seller of 1/32nd, if it doesn't make sense from their viewpoint, we don't proceed. The exception is the 1/32nd 4WD we do every year for the Toy Farmer. It really is a joint program. Sometimes we can get the information on a new item in the US. Sometimes our UK office has to get the information on a piece of equipment produced in Europe. Every project is different and unique. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
